i once had a man pick me up for a date and instead of coming to the door, he honked his horn. i'm kinda stubborn so i just stayed in the house, and then he called from his cell phone all upset "I'm outside waiting for you!"
i told him i knew he was outside, i was waiting for him to get the hint and come to the door like a gentleman.
i dunno. i'd like to see a return of manners in general.
Oh, Scarlet! I'm so sorry this happened to you, but I can't help myself--am laughing out loud as I type this!
AMEN!
please. *waves hand* i got a million funny date stories.
i did go out with that guy a few more times, BTW. he just didn't know- it wasn't like he was being a clueless jerk on purpose.
i will say that generally manners is the one thing that older men have all over younger guys, though i did have a guy make his son open the door for me at Wawa the other day- it was cute, and i made sure to thank him and the father. hope for the future!
