Instead of throwing your jacket on the puddle, better talk to her and spend some time with her discovering her inner self.
To the contrary, I find being treated 'like a queen' ironically rather demeaning. It's suffocating. You don't have room to think; for the act to work you're not required or really wanted to think. I honestly appreciate when guys hold a door open for me, or stop me from breaking my neck on stairs like an ice rink but it's way too much to have everything done for you. I also a man and an equal, not a servant or a dog running around panting after my every whim. I mean, gross!

hahah, and now this thread is heading swiftly to being all about what women want in a guy, not what guys think.

It's a story that (likely didn't really happen) about Sir Walter Raleigh doing that for Elizabeth 1st. He was supposed to be a dashing romantic, gentleman to the nth degree and her only love and all that, so it became reknowned as ~the~ gesture for chivalry.
