Just Perpetuating Stereotypes Here

I love some old timey chivalry. Like when a guy holds the door open for me or we're walking together towards an entrance and he holds back to let me through first. I don't even need to be romantically interested in this person. I will be very grateful they were so kind and then melt. It is adorable and very sweet. And if I have no romantic interest whatsoever, I will simply think to myself, "Well damn, you're an A+ guy."

If a girl does this for me, I will just be in shock. Because girls rarely do this kind of thing for each other. The only common setting for this kind of chivalry to occur between girls is when you're both entering/exiting the public bathroom at the same time and you hold the bathroom door open for the other person. I do this all the time and it kills me because it extends the amount of time I am exposed to whatever is on that public bathroom door.

I appreciate it regardless of gender... I'll also happily hold the door open for guys/gals.

I do enjoy it if a guy opens a door for me, however if I'm already holding the door, or he insists I go first when he's in front of me or some shiz like that sometimes I get annoyed. I'll be like 'yo, just go dude, I'm capable of holding a door'

absolutely, appreciate it regardless of gender. it just happens more often with guys.

it does suck when it gets awkward though. which has happened before and with a friend, not a stranger. which is worse because you can't just walk away

true true

but yeah, awkward situations like that inevitably end with me saying 'JUST GO MAN!'
