I'm glad it went decently and wasn't as scary as you thought - I knew you could do it!
This is interesting regarding the door/wine/holding thing...you said he was a decent enough fellow and just mentioned that you would have appreciated a few nice things. I would have to agree.
But it's not purely a "guy-must-do-this-for-a-girl thing." I don't really open car doors, but I definitely open building doors for people behind me, men or women. And if I'm eating with friends or family and there's a drink to be poured and I pour my own, I'll ask if anyone wants more soda/tea/beer/milk/whatever.
If one wants to impress, one goes the extra mile. So he was nice, just not impressive, I would say?
I don't think you're a princess. Princesses don't spend time chitchatting with fellow geeks & geekettes on a forum.
