Reply To: Proper Etiquette or Against Halacha?

I find it strange that the OP would stand on principle in demanding to be first. Even if b’shittosai you feel it to be “etiquette” to have the door opened, a) perhaps that feeling is not shared by your date or even (as he said) there is a halachic issue with it and b) even putting that aside, to demand this honor for oneself from a date is a haughtiness that I would think would rightfully result in the boy terminating the dating with her.
