Oh I see, you are actually English. My bad.
Well, in any event, in the former empire, it is much more common to have guys on dates who open the door and walk away.
In fact, until recently, I think that was standard practice even among the highly yeshivish. And some of the highly yeshivish still do.
(I know, my relatives have excellent highly yeshivish creds, but I’m not calling them out on this forum. But trust me, you’d agree.)
