Chivalry.. Is it dead?
I have a question for guys and girls, and I am sure that I will get a different answer from each gender... Do you think the guy should pick up the girl when taking her on a date, even if she lives far away from the guy? My friend is struggling with this very issue. She has been on two dates with this guy. He lives in Lilburn and she lives in Auburn. She feels that he has to pick her up for it to be a date. He wants her to meet his parents and have dinner with them, but he wants her to drive to his house, and she refuses. They have to find a compromise. She told him that he either picks her up, they hang out after church on Sundays, since they attend the same church, or they don't date at all. I was just wondering what you guys and girls thought about it. I personally think that the guy should pick up the girl. I am very old-fashioned and believe it is a sign of respect and it makes the girl feel special knowing that the guy cares enough to pick her up. I also think that after they have been dating for awhile and all that, it is cool if the girl wants to drive to meet the guy, or they can meet halfway. These people are really close to me and they have both asked me for advice and I don't know what to tell them.. Dr. Love is at a loss!! Amazing, isn't it? Your comments on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Well, this may be an unpopular opinion, but I think the girl in the situation is being unrealistic. Yes, it is nice for him to pick her up for a date. Yes it is respectful, and I think it also shows the seriousness of his intentions. But I also think that his desire for her to meet his parents is respectful as well. I think she would do well to be flexible and see what his intent is, as opposed to clinging to an idea.
Just my $.02. Since you asked.
This is a tough question. Here is how you decide. Ask yourself: "How much does gas cost?"
If the answer is more than $2.10 per gallon, all dates should be in a mutually efficient location to promote thrifty spending habits.
I agree with Derrick. If gas prices soar to $3 a gallon, it is not only acceptable; it is advisable to go on a tandem. Also, any girl who readies herself for a date without taking care to wear shoes conducive to bike riding is not worth the effort. ;)
