so right – Your post that mentions me is a perfect example of why I usually just read things I didagree wwith and don’t respond. Here, I wanted to give an opinion from a current Yeshivish girl saying there is no problem with the boy opening the car door, and you just went and twisted my words.
The boys who opened the door for me on dates were no less Yeshivish than those that didn’t, and were often more Yeshivish (my husband for instance is more yeshivish than a lot of other boys I dated and as I said – he did open the car door for me. Now he opens taxi car doors for me…)
The ones who did not open the door were not really doing it because their Rosh Yeshiva sais not to but rather because their friends told him its not the done thing. It’s a similar equation with whether girls should wear seatbelts on dates (v’hameivin yavin).
