Dating Etiquette - Politeness - Manners for Guys...
- When should a guy stand up for a girl?
Traditional etiquette is for a boy/guy/man/gentleman to stand when a girl/gal/woman/lady enters the room, and when she departs. In general - anyone, regardless of gender, should stand when an elder, or a very important person, enters or leaves the room.
- What about door etiquette?
A polite guy/gentleman opens doors for girls. Holding the door is worth extra points rather than just flinging it open.
Open the door, step to the side while the girl passes through (nod with an, "After you," if she hesitates - she could be mildly stunned).
Girls - at this point, thank the guy, smiles are good - always nice to encourage kind behavior in anyone.
Guys - respond, "You're welcome," and, when the girl's gone through the door, go through it yourself.
- And revolving door etiquette?
Guys, when walking with a girl, if you encounter a revolving door, you should enter it first so that you can push the door.
(No fair spinning it out of control - that's for your guy-buds.)
- What is the etiquette for walking into a room?
When walking into a room or walking to seats at a theater, concert hall, movie theater, church, lecture hall, the girl goes first, both into the room and the row of seats.
Similarly, in a restaurant, maitre d' or hostess leads you to a table, the girl precedes the guy.
