I agree, kayleigh, it is nice when people are courteous and open a door for you. I do feel uncomfortable, though, when one man at work often seems to refuse to let me open to the door for *him*. For example, if I get to the door first and open it to let him in, he kind of grabs the door and says, "After you." So then I say thank you and go in, but I feel odd about it, because it went on for months that he wouldn't go in first. I think he is just trying to be thoughtful and respectful. Recently, he actually let me hold open the door for him and he went in! Yeay! I felt relieved.
It is also nice if people offer to pick up the bill...but nicer when you can then split it or, like you say, take turns paying. No one likes to feel beholden to someone for TOO long, I think. Do they?
