It just feels wrong to me when I am on a date and I find myself not opening doors and paying for the bills. Courtesy should always be used.

Dating Courtesies
Should we expect dating courtesies today? Is chivalry dead?
For those who don’t know what I mean, I am talking about opening the doors, pulling out seats, running errands, etc. Have we become so devoid of morality or principles that we disregard things that should be important to us in dating? Is it every person for themselves or do dating courtesies still exist?
A friend was talking with me the other day and told me about what happened on a recent date. Apparently, she had been talking with a guy over a period of time and they decided to meet at a restaurant for dinner. When the date was over the guy got upset with her because she didn’t walk him to his vehicle.
This incident should have given my friend insight on what to expect if she had chosen to date him, right? I could not believe what I was hearing. Was he serious? More and more men and women have never been taught why dating courtesies are so important. In some ways I think the roles have flipped. I know that the societal norm is to do what is accepted at the time, but let’s face it people, as far as I am concerned, things like calling when you say you are going to call, coming to the door to pick me up for a date, opening the car door for me, and walking me to my car after a date will never go out of style.
