Modern Mannered Men? Urban Legend....

DO MANNERS MAKETH THE MAN? I know it's 2008, and with each generation comes new rules, etiquette's and displays of affection, but is there still a place for manners in this modern, fast-paced world?
When was the last time you saw someone open or close a car door for someone else? Seat a guest before seating themselves? Manners, it seems, have been thrown out with last years 'must haves'. I argue this, as last night I was very pleasantly surprised when on a date with 'Mr Darcy', he voluntarily walked me to my car, before walking back to his. To be honest I was quite taken aback (not only because it's a very cute thing to do). It's rather tragic this isn't a dating normality, but when thinking about it, I can honestly say this has almost never happened before on a date.
HAS THE MODERN, URBAN-DWELLING MAN LOST HIS MANNERS? Or have expectations of peoples bahaivours just slowly slipped us into a mannerless existance?
Let me know your thoughts!
