[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you need to try to let this go. Yes, there are guys who open doors, but that probably has very little to do with whether he'll actually respect you and see you as an equal in your lives together. You're probably relying on this superficial gesture as a signal for other, more important qualities - but it's not an reliable signal.

I'm from California and as I recall, whoever got to the door first held it for the person behind. I do remember dating some guys who would race ahead, cut me off mid-walk, and open the door in my face. It felt very artificial and unnecessary to me - not to mention that a guy actually tripped me once doing this. I honestly preferred the guys who just let nature take it's course - sometimes I reached the door first, and would hold it, other times he got there first, and would hold it for me.

If some of the guys you're dating have the same background as I do, they very well may be egalitarian and considerate, solid partner potential, but they're not going to cut you off just to insist you never touch a door nob - is that really such a bad thing?[/quote]
