would you be mad?

it's nice to hold doors for people, regardless of gender.
however, the genders aren't interchangeable, despite what we've been taught since the '60s

when a woman holds a door for me, that's nice.
when a man holds a door for me, it's nice too. but it might also be sexy. just depends on the guy.

so far, I've yet to find it sexy when a woman holds a door for me.

I *like* old school men. in a different way than I like polite women.

interestingly, now that I'm in my 50's (ack! patooie! spit that out!) I find I like *very* young people holding a door for me in yet a different way... it's nice too. and I've decided it doesn't make me feel old, it makes me feel respected.

I think if you are in for the long haul with this guy, you and he will have to learn how to do things without each other. You could be annoyed by the weather, disappointed that you missed the concert, but you shouldn't be mad at him. If the weather was bad enough that neither of you were willing to drive (two hours round trip if he picked you up), then he is definitely not at fault. He shouldn't have to stay home and skip a much anticipated outing because you couldn't make it. This doesn't apply for everything...you shouldn't ditch you significant other when they are sick, go to some event that your significant other finds repellant for moral reasons, or something along those lines. But him going to a concert that you can't make because of work, weather, etc is not something you should get mad at HIM about.

I assumed that there wasn't enough time for him to drive an hour there, an hour back and then make the concert on time. It sounds like the decision that the roads were too bad or that the weather was getting worse was made at the last minute. Or at least too late for him to drive out there.

It's not like she lives 4 blocks away, but an hour drive.

Nope, I wouldn't be mad. If I had planned to go to a concert with my BF and he couldn't make it because of the weather, yeah I would go alone. If he got mad at me about that, well as my Grandma used to say "don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya"

see, that. right there.
old school rocks.

x2 Maybe deerman could offer classes in school on how to treat a lady. Start the young boys off right! lol!
I think I was born in the wrong era.

Afraid these young' need more than me teaching them.....

Like which person is to set first, which should order first.....the lady. oh yes i walk on the street side ,when we walk...be it left or right side. For all you young boys.....yes it means alot to the girl.

Just because most women drive now adays......doesn't mean the guy shouldn't go pick up their DATE. Its not because they can't come to me. In this case i would have been planning on picking her up, no matter the weather. good or bad.

hmmmmmm... i'd probably react much different, because the only concert i'd ever go to would be a vocaloid concert. Being the worlds biggest fanboy of Hatsune Miku (a vocaloid) if my friend went without me, i'd be so angry and outraged at first, i'd probably destroy my whole room because i was mad! but then i'd cool down and hope the concert was recorded.

now if i had a girl friend and she couldn't make it, i'd go anyways. (vocaloid concert tickets cost $150+, i ain't going to waste money) i'd maybe sell the spare ticket if they sold out (they always do very quickly) and give her the money i got when i got back

but thats just an obsessed fanboy me
