In a semi-formal or former dinner setting with a small group (or one on one), yes--both when they leave and return.

Otherwise, no. That's what I remember from our fork and knife block of instruction.

To be honest to most people it will look a bit like you're making too much of a show of things. The practice started dying out with our parents' generation, so I imagine that most younger kids will look at you crazy. Your date will be impressed if she's traditional.

However, if she's some batshit crazy ultra feminist, she will get upset if you do this or even hold a door for her.
