I suppose it does, in a way, show that they are interested in you.<br /><br />And I agree: respect is very important! <br /><br />Thank you for sharing!Samarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16448173914973765504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116174456487594432.post-7011906591611868762012-04-05T11:58:26.300-07:002012-04-05T11:58:26.300-07:00I love the topic of chivalry!

When I was dating I took the more overt forms of chilvalry--door-opening, meal-paying--as indicators that the guy who asked me out cared enough to do those things. If I asked him out, then I took responsibility for those things. <br /><br />When it comes to long-term relationships, however, I like chivalry but not if it interferes with our status as equal partners. Josh and I have a joint bank account, which erases the who-pays issue. Even then, though, I try to treat him to things to show I love and appreciate him, and he does the same for me. <br /><br />I think that chivalry should always be based on mutual respect and that how you interpret that respect is really up to the individual. Respect is what I care about most in a relationship, rather than overt expressions of chivalry!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096609209172158941noreply@blogger.com
