Default dating a high maintenance girl--help!
so now i'm dating this girl and i find out that she's reeeeally high maintenance. not so much to the point where she makes me buy her expensive gifts and such, but a few nights ago she actually waited for me to open the door for her instead of just opening it herself. there are other situations like that too that just really get at me. she says it's being chivalrous but i know there's a line between being chivalrous and being completely whipped by a high maintenance girl and i've definitely crossed it. my friends used to tease me about it; now it almost seems like a warning. i've never dated a HM girl before and i can't say i like dating one. the girl herself is nice but her HM front is just too much for me. i've given her a couple ultimatums before that didn't really work and last night i basically said "hey, your HM really pisses me off, change it, i'm leaving, don't call me i'll call you." she told me that she knows that she is a hard person to date (at first) and that she's "testing the waters" to see if my personality holds up. she was upset and told me that she would change but i didn't want to hear any of it last night, due to me being so mad and that we all know what is said when you're upset may not be true. in the end i told her to take this weekend to really think about how she is treating me and if our relationship can really work out.

what should i do?

i can see that this girl has some nice qualities; my only problem is that i have to break her HM shell. or, is it not worth it?"

This is making you want to cry?



You did well by speaking up, I'd say. She'll come around and you two can surely work out a compromise. Call me old fashioned by I see nothing wrong in chivalry, as long as the girl is NOT expecting it. I'll open doors for her whenever we're out but if, for whatever reason, she gets to the door before me and waits... then we have some problems.

I've had that kind of situation before and when she stood and waited for me to open it for her.. I stared at her in semi-disbelief and then I just started cracking up.

Needless to say I didn't keep that one, long.

That's not me. I'm the Captain Acid guy who last posted telling him what's up.

The ironic thing here is this...

The girl is very feminine. She is likely a very traditional girl...which is what most of you claim to want. Traditional girls require you to be a traditional guy...including opening the door, pulling out her chair out, etc. If you want a girl who does those things for herself and does not act traditional then the tradeoff tends to be a woman who competes with you and is more masculine and likely a feminist.

but surely MOST girls are in between this extremely feminine (even for my taste) woman and the feminist. I've never been with a girl that demanded that I open the doors for her, and would wait until I did. Thats just ridiculous. What does she do when she's alone, wait till someone does it? Haha, if she expected me to open the car door when we got home, she can sit in the car the whole night, cause i'm going inside to play video games :crackup:
