Should I open the door?

On Sunday i'm going with a girl to the movies. And when i pick her up do i open the door? We aren't going out and this is kind of like a friendly date but i hope it could gradually lead to a relationship. I'm not sure if she feels the same way.

So should i open the car door for her on a first date? I mean, its no prom or anything.
 
Well if its cold and see what happens after the movie finishes and go back to the car did she turn into a popsicle 😀
 
I wouldn't open the door. I wouldn't want a girl that needs a guy to open a car door for her..those that do generally are grouped into the more traditional type that expects you to pay all the time and what not.
 
Err... I open doors for lots of people, or are you referring to a car door? Even then I'm more of a traditional guy, I hold bags for women and pay for dinner, etc. I guess it really depends as to how you treat non-dates.
 
Oo consider this:

My father is driving us, and so far this is the first time we will go anywhere outside of school.

I don't wanna seem obvious that i like her alot, nor do i wanna seem like a jackass.

Exactly. Just open it and then go to your side, beside closing a car door for someone else can be dangerous. I was a passenger being valeted and the guy opened the door to let me in, I reached up to the roof to fix my coat and almost lost some fingers. Luckily I pulled my hand in just in time.

If any chick thinks you are being to clingy or whatever for just getting a door for them, they are playing games. In response I'd just answer like an as$ and then apologizing for calling them since you thought they were a 'grown-up' now.
 
Your dad's driving you? Ugh, nevermind. Don't date till you can drive yourself, that's my advice.
 
1) Whats SHENS
2) hjo3, that means i shouldn't have a social life untill i can get a car? Please..
I'm getting full liscence in 5 months, but high school kids date even if they dont have a liscence, whats the big deal..
 
ALWAYS open the door.

Car Door: Yes, I do it for all females. (When there's only one, even just friends.)
Door for Movies, Misc Doors, etc.: Yes, common courtesy, for guys or girls. If it's a date-ish then just hold it open for her and then follow.

[edit] Car door: only when getting in, getting out is another ball game. For friends, let them open their own door (and you should probably do it in this case too.) The rest is touchy.

Not young women. He said that his dad is driving them, so I assume they're young. In 20 years he can do it to score points, but I've found it to be vastly underappreciated in my experiences. I still do it, my mom taught me to always practice chivalry, but people seem to regard it as "weird" instead of virtuous.
 
I would say let her open the door herself, unless your out of the car, but don't get out just to open it.
