Reply To: Opening the Car Door for Your Date

Again, it is beautiful for a husband (or anyone) to open the door for his wife (or whoever), or for a wife to open the door for her husband. My point is the specific practice of a guy davka opening the door for a girl — not because her hands are full or she is weak or for whatever reason needs the door opened for her or even because he happened to be near the door so he opened it to be helpful and mentchlich/mannered [all of that is perfectly beautiful and proper if done] — but rather my comment is on the practice of him doing it specifically explicitly and expressly as a (especially if public) display of “romance and chivalry”.
