Dr. Friendly On Seating Women

Dr. Friendly,

I was out on a first date and tried to be a gentleman by helping her sit down at the restaurant. I pushed the chair in as she squatted, and she gave me a dirty look. What did I do wrong?

The Pusher

Pusher,

The bruising on the backs of her knees is one indicator. When you hold the chair, just steady it as a guide, there's no need to shove. And when you talk with her about the incident... see if you can find another word to use than "squatting," would you?
