Within the past year I have noticed that mny of my friends treat their relationship much like that of their parents. One example is a friend who cuddles with her bf in our chapter room, at the bar, anywhere. It's PG rated, they are always touching and stuff. When I saw her parents, they act the same way. I really believe that one of the major influences of how people take on their relationships is set by example of what they have seen. Anoth one of my pieces of proof is a old roomie, she completly changed once she got a bf, she made it her life mission to have a bf and make him the center of her life. Later I found out that her parents were divorced and each of them were going on their third marriage.
I don't see this as jodging, but as a meer observation. So yeah, if someone sees how their parents interact they will probably expect that dating shoulf be like that. But then there are also people who have common sence and if they did have a "perfect" parent model will know what to expect from society.
Sorry to get off on a tagent, but just something that has intregued me lately.
As for a guys behavor, I expect normal things like opening doors, pushing in my chair, flowers just because. But it's also great when he does something that isn't expected. My theory is that you have to expect the best, at least when it comes to how a guy treats you
