This was in the context of dating. I assume if a man asks me out on a date, then he is attracted to me. If a man is attracted to me, that indicates to me that he desires me.
Obviously people open doors for each other all the time, in fact, I wrote in this story that "with friends, we hold the door open for each other" and I also wrote how people hold the door for people who are carrying packages, etc.
However, in the context of dating - if a guy does not desire you, why would he ask you out on a date? Particularly when he is college age.
So if you disagree with this, please explain. maybe I'll learn something?
