When I go to open my Driver side door its sticks a little bit like a suction cup, does anyone know why it does this, the passenger door is fine?

Check the rubber lining along the top and sides of the door. I'm not sure if Teg's have it. But that rubber seal that keeps the water out might be the culprit.:D

What year is your car? sometimes the doors tend to sag a little bit over time which would make the rubber molding to press against the car more causing it to stick. This will feel like a suction cup type action. Happened on my car. All you have to do is remove the fender and adjust the door up a little bit. Just make sure you know where the rubber seal is sticking. If its broken or something then its obvious you need to replace the rubber seal that goes around your door.

If you decide you need to adjust your door I would recommend having a friend help you cause its a biatch trying to adjust the heavy door by yourself. You wont be able to hold it in place while you tighten the bolts down. I would use a marker to mark around the bolts before loosening them, that way you know where you started. There is also two lines you can follow to line up the door.
