this is so true. i don’t expect these things but i DEFINITELY notice if a guy does them. i still remember the first time i went on a date with a guy who opened all the doors for me, i was in shock lmaoo. after dinner he asked if i would be down for ice cream and had a place within walking distance already picked out, i was so impressed at the simple fact that he planned ahead
I always expect if the guy is asking me on a date he will pay for it (especially since he’s planning it out or picking the restaurant) because don’t pick an expensive restaurant if you can’t afford it? And what if he picks an expensive restaurant and makes you split it? That’s probably more money than you were expecting to pay being TAKEN on a date. After the first date, it’s nice to offer to do something for them and pay for all of it yourself. Just to make things mutual.
he lived too far away :( that was another sweet thing he did, choose a place near me bc he had a car and i didn’t. but i felt bad about how hard it was to see each other (specifically that he would have to be the one to make the drive pretty much every time) and also our future goals weren’t super aligned, so unfortunately it didn’t work out
