Yes, after parking a girl did wait for me to come around and open the car door. Very weird.
I never wait for the guy to open it when we get out of the car. Once a guy told me “oops, I was supposed to open that for you!”

I wouldn’t call it disapproving. You don’t need my permission. I don’t know if I’m right or not; I just feel that walking the girl to the door shows chivalry as does opening the car door for her. From your other post you truly seem to want to do the right thing but aren’t sure what it is. As we both saw from this board there’s a difference of opinion so I don’t know what to advise you. I know that it’s definitely something I appreciate as do many of my friends.
I saw oompa loompa’s last year!
Anyone can get into trouble, don’t think cause your a bais yaakov girl your exempt from trouble!
Exactly. And the people who want to get into trouble will find trouble even if they don’t have texting on their phone.
I’m gonna have to try this place sometime – gotta first work up the courage to try a flavor called “grass”!

Stay out woman, stay out
Alright, alright. I’m leaving!
I know there’s something called lift and cut. The joys of having brothers 🙂
Much better than the last one. Sorry, Derech HaMelech!

We’re all waiting for you to start a thread which we won’t understand. Our makeup thread has hit off quite nicely!

Yeah sure you have what to talk about. As evidenced by all our threads, us girls have beat you big time.
Cool!

Whatever floats your boat.
There was an article a while back about someone’s tooth stuck in their ear:
Cholent flavored ice cream?? Where’d you see that??

Lol. Women will never give up on chivalry 🙂

Writing edited in that spot on popa’s post made it quite clear what it said 🙂

Nice of you to ask…it shows you really care. I would find that pretty awkward too (it is a little better than “Should I walk you?”, though).
Obviously I was being facetious and that is my point. Since we aren’t going to ask what are we supposed to do? and I honestly don’t know how you would know what the norm is. I guarantee you that the large majority of guys who wait in the car don’t purposefully do it to “check out” a girl. It’s either for tzniyus reasons, they feel it’s awkward, or they think the girl doesn’t want to be walked in herself (or at least doesn’t know). Nothing sinister.
I don’t think it’s being sinister. I think it’s just natural that the guy will watch the girl make her way to the door instead of staring at the wheel. If you do that, great. And again, I will never say no to a guy just because he doesn’t walk me to the door. However, it’s something I would prefer.
We are just waiting for you to leave…
I’m sure that’s the reason…

I have not walked any girls to the door, and I am honestly mortified that you think that every guy is “checking you out.” I don’t know if you need to get over yourselves or what, but I can tell you honestly that I have never done that. I’m usually thinking about the date and looking at the door to make sure she gets in.
I don’t think that’s the norm.
So considering everything are men supposed to be mind-readers? or do you want us to ask you if you want to be walked to the door? because those seem to be the only two options.
Please don’t ask! That’s just weird! What girl would say yes to that??
It’s about time I try this…
hi
truth be told
We all know that’s not gonna happen – if the guy stays in the car he’s watching her every move.
passion4music is right. Besides for the fact that we want to be walked, it’s really annoying to know that he’s watching every step I make. Talk about awkward….
Eeewwww!!!
Ugh! I get so grossed out from herring. But then again my father and brothers love it so I guess it really is a guys thing. Wow..they finally got their thread 🙂
Yup! Love it!
always here
Lol keep it coming. They could use all the help they can get!

Kinda different but glad you’re applying your knowledge!
“dunno:
get out of our clubhouse!!! We will be talking about things you girls can never understand!!”
Don’t worry,Derech HaMelech. Knitting’s just not my thing. I should tell my grandmother to join the CR though. And you call this a thread for men?? Oyyyyyyy… You guys sure need help (as usual). Girls, what do you say to helping ’em out a bit?
I can’t. It’s a blow to my ego when my little brother does it in less than 5 minutes and I’m still working on it 5 hours later 🙁
Derech HaMelech
You actually think you’ll beat our threads? Good luck!
“What do you talk about during Sheva Brachos?”
Or engagements?
I’m with yossi z. on this one…why should it be allowed??
dogo
You didn’t have to say you’re a guy. The way you described it gave it away 🙂
Not that I know of. The idea is to have the guys focus on their learning for the first 3 months that they start yeshiva (at least in BMG).

It opens tu bshvat and shiva asar b’tamuz.
truth be told
I don’t think any girl out there wants to be walked back by a guy to impress the neighbors. I could be wrong but it just doesn’t sound right.
“But certainly, the less people know, the more brocha can exist.”
I don’t think dates should be discussed besides with relevant people precisely because of that reason. (And for the fact that it’s too gossip-y for me)
