You keep the door open for someone if they’re already close enough to it (or have mobility issues or something and might need a bit of help) because it’s the normal, polite thing to do, not because you’re trying to hit on a stranger. This whole insecurity about sexuality affects the way some guys even eat bananas (not that I personally like bananas per-se but that’s different and my own peculiarity). And it’s just bloody ridiculous.
