Spinoff: Is your DH/FH chivalrous?

Original post by marymoon

I mean does he hold doors open, open your car door, pay for everything?

Did he do this while you were dating?

And also, do you think the guy SHOULD do these things, like should he always pay or always hold the door for the lady, etc.

With me, Fh has just about ALWAYS apid for everything when we went out. He paid for all movies, meals, whatever..even if I needed to buy a chapstick, if I was with him, he'd pay for it, eve though most of the time in HS and college I was making more money than he was.

He still lets me in the car door most of them, and holds doors for me. It's waning it used to be all the time, now it's just sometimes.

I think it's sweet. I can't say guys SHOULD do this, but I really like it when they do. I really didn't 'date' very much, but with my best friend, when she tells me about her dates, if he doens't pay for the first date, or at least try to, he's NOT a keeper. Maybe it's totally hypocritical and old fashioned, but I think if it's the first date, that guy had better be paying!

DH usually holds the door for me and does other sweet things. We also live in a fourth floor walk-up, and if I have my gym bag or work bag he always insists on carrying it, which I always find sweet. And he always insists on carrying most of the groceries and packages up too. He'll usually have 2/3s and I'll have the rest. I feel bad but he insists.

As for paying, he paid for things on the majority of dates. Once in a while he'd let me treat him, which I always felt happy to do.
