Before I answer let me just have a peep, ok yes I’m a man so what I say is gospel.
A women wants a man to take control, be strong, masterful, dominate, confident and assertive.
Real men in a mans world would simply go through the motions and get the job done.
Weak limp wrested Mommies boys feel sick because they have none of the above and when there in a relationship they let the little women walk all over them.

nervous ? me ? errrm ok yes i do - the longer it is to the date the worse i get - dont laff - im a big rufty tufty builder type bloke - but i find it really hard to spot these "signals" girls talk about - ive had some of my girl buddies telling me "so an so was givin u all the signals paul ya should have said/done something" signals? a signal is some one waving a flag or summat not a miniscule twitch of an eyebrow - body language? theres summat else too subtle for me to twig - is that girl sitting that way to attract me of just avoiding some chewing gum on the seat??

I've never been nervous before, during or after a date. If we don't hit it off romantically then I'd hope I've made a new friend. If not, I've lost nothing as there was nothing there to start with. It's a win/win situation IMO and I love situations like that.

I had a conversation along these lines the other day... turns out men do get nervous if they really like the person they're going to meet...

What makes them nervous? They worry they might not click with their date... that the chemistry is just not there.
They click, but when it comes to that first kiss, she decides to play tonsil hockey or has a mouth like a chickens ar*e, either way the kiss is just not compatible

Not saying this goes for all men... this is purely based on a conversation I had with a bloke so don't beat me up over it!

I must admit I do get the little flutterbies when I'm going on a date esp if he's cute

I never really have got nervous meeting people, in the 6 years of being online. As had no expectations at all of anything happening with anyone. Just a meet, drink and chat, or maybe something to eat, that's all i saw it as. If anything, it's been the bloke who's seen it more than a meet really.
It's been a bloke who's made first move. They've mostly been confident guys. I guess they can be shy - but can't say i've really met a lot of shy people. But, as i've got older...i do tend to make more of a move now!

I get nervous all the more if she's very attractive woman thats getting the attention from guys while were on the date. In ways I would start to feel like she might be out of my league...but then she did agree to go out so whats the since in thinking that?
But as soon as I can get her laughing then its all downhill from there for the both of us...humor truely can take the edges off of anything . Im not talking about stand up jokes though....just a few smart comments that dont cross the line as being a smart ass too much. You have to know when its too much though, so it all a test the water kinda thing.

If the lot of you are nervous you hide it really well! I always seem to be the one nervous, wriggling around, and being generally too chatty! I tend to talk ALOT when I'm nervous, never seen a guy do that

We can learn something from men, how to remain cool, calm, and collected in all situations!

Men definitely do get nervous when it comes to dating even if they don't show it. I actually have been known to get so nervous about asking a girl out that I'll feel like throwing up, needless to say a lot of the time I end up backing off instead of asking her out. I think a lot of men fear rejection, myself included. Of course the way the traditional dating roles have been set up it is up to the man to bear most of the risk of rejection so it's almost impossible for a guy not to be nervous.

If someone doesnt get a little nervouse meeting someone for the first time, then maybe they have done it so may times it must come as second nature to them..

I think guys do get nervous, but whether they admit to it, is a different kettle of

^^^^^

Absolutely correct. I have been on a lot of dates in the last year, and I'm practically never nervous. The only time I have been was a couple of weeks ago when I went out with a girl I'd been talking to for a few weeks, we hit it off so well that both of us cancelled other dates to meet up because we were finding it hard to find a day when we were both free. I was nervous as hell!!! But usually, not even slightly bothered.

Its kind of sad that people dont get nervous. I love all that hype before a date, butterflies, wondering what the night holds. Maybe if you dont expect much you dont get disappointed. I find a few glasses of wine steady the nerves

It's perfectly normal to be nervous on the first date ....................however I'm not perfectly normal !!



OT I think I remain unphased by it all purely because I have no expectations and treat every meet as if I were just linking up with a pal for a coffee !!

i think its a good sign to be abit nervous, it shows that you like what you have heard so far from the girl and hope you make a good impression.

Yep, i get nervous on the day, maybe a few hours before meeting up with someone, but as soon as i start talking all of the nervousness usually goes away.

Well I think it's rather sweet when a man appears a bit nervous. I'd expect him to be a bit nervous and normally find a way to un-hinge him at some point if he isn't!

I think maybe people get nervous more about saying the wrong thing and the thought of will they like me or not
I personally think that men should mail out more on sites like these instead of looking at profiles till kingdom come especially if they like the look of someone in search and if you get a knock back so what
tomorrows another day
but then again maybe some people prefer the slow get to know someone and build it up from looking at profiles for a few years to mailing out and then at the 5-10 year mark you may meet up

It's sweet that men get nervous but to actually be so nervous that they are physically sick, that's not a good thing. As someone else has already stated, he should not be thinking about the first move. Best see if you get on first.

I tend to feel fine until about half an hour before, then I get a those butterfly feelings & a little jittery. I'm the same when it comes to interviews as well.

well im not sure about getting nervous if i had a date, but would call it more being excited.
Yes ok butterflies in the tummy and all that, but i would regard that as being excited rather than nervous lol.
Mind u not had that sensation for some time.
