Is It Acceptable To Honk Instead of Coming To The Door?
Dear Maria,
Last night I went on a date with a guy who showed up and HONKED! Didn't come to my door, didn't knock. He said it was because he was nervous he had the wrong address. THEN he didn't open the door at Starbucks OR when we got back to his car after. Should I go out with him again or is not holding doors a deal breaker? At least he paid for my tea...
Sincerely,
Annoyed in Vancouver
Dear Annoyed in Vancouver,
Newsflash: The person you are dating should not, in any way, resemble a soccer mom who's carpooling the neighborhood kids. Holy sheesh! Honking? Has he heard of this crazy concept of calling upon arrival? Off the back, you should have never opened the door. And then you expected him to open the door.. at Starbucks? First off, who cares... it's Starbucks! Open your own damn door.
Secondly, unless this is a blind date, at 5pm, and you met THERE, why on Earth is he picking you up to go on your first date to this type of establishment. "At least he paid for my tea..." Pshh... yeah, I bet the $2.25 really put a dent in his pocket. You lucky thing. He respects you. Not. AND you expected him to open the door for you. Who are you? The Queen of England? You were honked at and taken to Starbucks. Get real.
Was this really a date? It sounds like a friend came by and took you out. That said, even if it was a date, no one should end up with Mr. Honk. MOVE ON.
