that's impossible, women should not believe men asking for it on the first date/meeting.

Ask her on a date first.

In my humble opinion and based on 66 yrs of experience, I'd say that the feelings of anxiety when approaching a woman would be considered normal. Especially if you are courting the idea of wanting her to accept you. I think this holds true in most cases of the initial meeting between two people. Just my opinion.

The first time I asked a guy out we went rollerblading in the park and then went out for a casual dinner. Keep it light and don't try to be all  romantic. Just see how you feel being alone with him the first time. If you keep your date filled with activities you will never run out of stuff to talk about and you won't have those awkward moments people get on first dates when they are all dressed up at some snooty restaurant. Have fun!

What an excellent question! Girls, not so much women, at least secure women do not do this. I fins from past experience that most girls or insecure women feel the need to do this, then get mad, when they really have no right to do so. If you don't want the looks in a suggestive way, then dress with some class for god sakes! \n\nGirls today more than ever seem to lack the most basic of proprietary skills, class and social graces. If you don't want men to look at your boobs, buns or other areas than don't wear the slutty clothes. Have some self respect and dress with dignity. \n\nBesides a real man, a man worth keeping would not respect you for acting or dressing in such a manner and actually the classy look in the end will garner much more favorable attention. No good man wants to think he can have his way with you on the first date, that is if they're being honest with you and themselves.

Some fundamentals for men: talk 30-40% and let her talk the rest of the time.  Open doors, pick up the tab, and make eye contact.    One big mistake I see guys make, and one that I made back in my dating days, is making the date seem more like an interview.    Sure, you want to get to know the person, but that doesn't have to be crammed into one night of Q&A.  Make an effort to strike up casual conversation, and talk about things that are in the moment.  Remember, people evaluate how much they like or dislike you based upon the quality of the experience they have in your presence.  If you are able to show people a good time, they will be attracted to you.  If you make people feel like they are interviewing for a job, they will not be so keen on another date. (Watch any episode of Blind Date to find out what NOT to do.)

If I'm meeting the person for the first time, the way they carry themselves.  Are they friendly, lots of smiling, are they part of the group and so forth.\n\nIf it's one of those where you've been friends for a while, just how much that person has evolved and changed.  Is she intelligent, does she have a sense of humor.  Can she put up with mine, especially when I'm in one of those harsh moods, lol.

I was interviewed by an online dating website and by the press because of the online dating.\n\nI've given the same advice to people on that website.\n\nMy advice is this:\n\nDon't build up the hype.  Don't make a "Real Life Meet" a big event.  Same as going on a date - don't make it a big event.\n\nTreat it as "going out and having a laugh".\n\nWhy?\n\nBecause if you hype it up, and put it all that effort, then expectations are very high on each side.  And if you have expectations, then you risk disappointment.  The higher the expectations, the bigger the risk of failing to satisfy those expectations.\n\nMy attitude is, "I don't date, I go out and meet a new friend."  That way, I'm me, and she can be herself.  I'm myself, and she can be herself.  We have a laugh.  We're not afraid to sit there in silence for a few seconds until something natural pops into our heads to say. We're not fighting to fill in those silent gaps with something clever to say to make ourselves look good.\n\nYou're going out with a mate.  Treat it like that.  Because that has certain advantages too:\n\nIf you don't click in that way, then you still have a great evening with a new friend, and you've made a new friendship.\n\nbut if anything else does happen, it's natural and not forced.\n\nAnd of course, you're not nervous when meeting a mate.  You're you, you're confident, you laugh when you feel like it, you joke when you feel like it.\n\nSo, treat your date not as a date, but as a new friend you're going out.  Be yourself.  Have a bit to drink just to relax yourself - and have a laugh :)\n\nThe only expectation:  have fun and a laugh.\n\nAnything else is a bonus and a nice surprise if it happens :)

Being a guy, I think guys are pretty simple and the ladies are the ones who are difficult to understand.\n\nHere is an example.  If a guy wants to go out, he'll say, let's go out on a big night on the town.\n\nIf a lady wants to go out, many will not DIRECTLY say this.  They'll say things like, "I wish you were more romantic" or when shopping they'll say, "Oh, I like that dress, I wish I had somewhere to wear it."\n\nLadies, guys are pretty simple, we are very direct, and for the most part, if we are not saying anything, then things are fine.  We are NOT holding things in like many of you might be.\n\nWe don't see relationships with different levels. (What does it mean when you say, lets take this to the next level.)\n\nWe want to be appreciated, we want to be respected, and we want you to rock our worlds in the bedroom.  For the most part, thats it.  We want you to be our friends, companions and lovers.\n\nWe don't want you to take us on as a project.  We are people, not fix-it-uppers.  If you don't like who we are, then find one you do like, or learn to live with the fact that men and women are different.\n\nWe are emotional, do you see how excited we get a sporting events.\n\nWe don't get excited about a marriage or our friends new baby.  But our hears are broken when our buddies 1970 Chevelle SS is smashed by some idiot soccer mom paying more attention to her phone than piloting her SUV full of kids.\n\nI think we are pretty simple, different, but simple.\n\nFinally, we are not mind readers, so if you want to go to dinner at a certain restaurant, here is the secret code phrase, "Honey, I want to go to Chez Spiffy's sometime, do you want to make the reservations or should I?"

Because its the first thing that a guy sees. But if a guy is attracked to a girl, then he wants to get to know her. (after he checks her out).But first impressions arent usually of someones personality, that seems to come in second.

I don't know your culture - here this would happen at the first date without any meaning at all.\n\nGreetings from Switzerland

This builds your relationship on sex and physical pleasure alone.  I don't want that.  I use a first date as a tool to get to know someone and to see if we have any chemistry.  Sex comes way after that.  When I'm ready for an emotional relationship (hey, guys, you give us what we want, we'll give you what you want).  But no, I don't have sex on the first date.  You have to do a lot more to get into my pants.
