He always opens the car door for me when we are getting in. He does not open it when we are getting out. Any other door is opened by the person who gets there first. I also do small things for my H that he is perfectly capable of doing himself as a sign of my affection for him.

He does sometimes, usually when I'm getting in. I think its sweet, but I'm glad he doesn't do it all the time because it would start to get on my nerves.

Never when we're getting out of the car, almost always when we are getting in the car. I've never asked him or expected him to do it, he just always has.
car door? no. waste of time. regular doors, usually unless it's awkward/too crowded to do so. but then again i open/hold doors for him (and strangers) if i'm in front/it's convenient to do so. it's just common courtesy.
Basically, all the time. He holds doors for everyone everywhere.
The car,...it was polite the first few dates and then it became silly. We'd playfully argue about it. 7 years later, he's probably still just doing it to annoy me because we do those things to each other. He'll race me to door (walking not running, lol); I'm always slower.
If we are approaching the car, yes. I don't sit in the car and wait for him to come around and open it. His car has manual locks so I think it would be weirder if he left me standing in the cold while he went to his door, fiddled with the keys, got it open, got inside, and reached over to unlock. I appreciate it.
The other day BF tried to open my door and we were in a parking garage so it was a super tight space. I was like "it's ok,I've got it, but I appreciate the gesture". That would've been interesting with us both crammed between two cars and a car door stuck between us.
Not unless I have my hands full. Regarding other doors, I actually have no idea. Maybe? Sometimes? He doesn't make a point of it & I guess don't make a point of noticing.

Sometimes, he might unlock the door before going to his side. When he does that, I unlock his door for him. The only time he will go around and open my door for me before I get out is for our really fancy dates.

If it is raining, he will usually always come around and open my door first so I can get in out of the rain. Or he'll just bring the car up for me. I like it. It's not that I can't do it for myself, but it is sometimes nice to have those old fashioned "chivalry" gestures still around and I know he does it because he loves me, not because he thinks I'm helpless.

If the kid is with us, no, because I usually thrust the kid at him and say "here, you buckle him in, thanks" while I scramble to get in the car.
He'll open the car door on date nights, but only when we're getting in the car. And he always opens doors when we're going into a building. I like to beat him to the door to annoy him.
Sometimes because he likes being a gentleman and open the door for me, but he doesn't go out of his way to run to the door before I get there or make me wait until he gets there. That's just silly.

I don't even get how it's a waste of time, unless you just mean when getting out of the car. If we're getting in the car, I would stand there and wait for him to open his door and hit the button to unlock mine. Or I would fumble to get keys out of my purse. This way, he just unlocks mine, opens it, I get in, unlock his. No wait.
i meant both. getting in the car, he usually hits the button on the key/remote that unlocks both doors at the same time while we're still walking toward the car. so we usually get into the car at the same time.
No, and I would find it weird if he did. Not to mention I'm too impatient to just sit there while he gets around the car. As to ordering food for me, that's a whole other level of patronising IMO.
Car doors, no; regular doors, most times unless I get there first.
Edit: He does open car doors for me sometimes, now that I've thought about it - there's really no pattern, though, as to when he does. Most times I open my own door, but every once in a while he gets it for me.
