Don't you want to see...

What's behind door number 3?

yeah i could really go into the metaphor here but basically Cookie feels cursed by his past experiences (in particular, his romantic relationships) in a way that causes him to avoid new opportunities with the preemptive assumption that everything will just go wrong again and that he, and everyone around him, will just get hurt. In this way, the 3rd door represents his relationship with Ben and the hesitation and guilt Cookie feels. Even though Cookie really, really, wants to pursue a relationship with Ben, his fear keeps him from opening that door.

Also, its barely noticeable, but he's wearing the suit he wears in the final act, as that is when he finally confesses to Ben (it ends up going horribly and, if he survived it, it would have just been another confirmation of his insecurity; another regrettable door in the wall).
