"If I am next to a door, I could open it for a girl, but I would actually rather open it for a child or a senior citizen. I don't like going out for dinner as I don't like those cameras on my face and don't like people taking pictures while I am eating. I don't like candle light dinners as I can't see the food. Every time a candle light dinner happens, there is a problem as there will be some conversation on marriage or some other conversation and I know that the candle light dinner will end in a fight. I have
been for candle light dinners only twice and both times, the same thing happened. Also, I can't go out and hold the hand of my girlfriend in public, as I feel that holding hands in public is a public exhibition and showing off of your relationship to others and I don't need to do that. I have never seen my father
hold my mother's hand. In fact just recently he started holding her hand, as she needs a little bit of support to walk. I feel that what you can't do in front of your parents you should not be doing outside."
