Do guys get nervous when they go out on dates?  I'm trying to help my friend who is going out on her first date with this guy and she is so nervous so we were wondering if guys get nervous as well.

sometimes if they really like the girl and dont want to screw up, and some guys dont b/c they know how to handle the situation

no offense, but what kind of guy would ask you if you loved him on the first date?\n\n...sounds like a player...imho\n\n...and why would you ASK him if he was playing you?  You think he would say "yes" if he was?  \n\nAnyways, if he isn't asking for anything "physical", then he's probably truly interested in you...but he might just consider it a challenge, too...beware!

maybe since he considers you a friend and he is too nervous to ask you act and fear rejection (like with all the other girls) If you like ask him out. You never know what he might say!

It's perfectly okay to be nervous. Sometimes we worry "Oh god, what will he say or think of me? What if he doesn't want to talk?!" Just breathe, relax, and tell yourself that if he didn't want to talk to you then you wouldn't be dating. He's interested in you, so go ahead and chat it up!

WARNING. THIS THREAD IS FULL OF AWFUL ADVICE.\n\nMan to man, let me give you a very important piece of advice. Do NOT ask women about how to deal with women. Women do not want what they say they want. They may think they hate anticipation, but they secretly thrive on it. Anticipation and unpredictability are good. (Although, I think the line about "I wanna ask you out, but right now am not in the mood" is awful - please don't use that.)\n\nThey're probably going to give me thumbs down for this, but I'm telling you from experience, it's the truth. Again, the two points to take from this:\n\n1. Anticipation and unpredictability are good\n2. Don't trust what women SAY, trust how they RESPOND\n\nSorry ladies, I love you, but the guys who actually follow your advice end up being the guys who are too wussy to get a girl.\n\n[See, there go the thumbs down already! Don't believe em, bro! I'm looking out for you.]

That's a hard situation cuz if you ask him out and he says no it'll be different. Have a friend ask him what it would be like if you guys were going out. He probably has already heard something like that just cuz. If he says it'll be great or something like that, go ahead and ask him. If he says "It wouldn't" like a man-biatch don't so you can keep ur friendship.  Good luck. :)

Guys are probally just as nervous as you are! \n\nSometimes certain girls can be shy, but also, as weird as it may sound, guys can be pretty shy too!\n\nI have a lot of guys friends, and they are pretty shy when I metion girls, dating, ect.\n\nDon't worry girl! You're doing just fine, and your Orlando Bloom will come really soon! :)

When I was dating, the guys usually asked at the end of the first date.  If he didn't, I would ask.  I would say something like, "I had a nice time and I was wondering if we could get together again".  I always got a good response of yes, but there were a few no's.\nThese days a guy doesn't mind if a girl asks him out.\n\nHere's a tip:\nIf the guy says he'll call you and acts fidgety, take it with a grain of salt because he won't.\nTry to ask him first as I said above to ease your mind.

I would prefer an arm around me at the movies. Because if you are holding hands, the guys usually start sweating. It makes a girl feel comfortable to lean on him (in your case, you) and it makes us girls feel safe and protected with her man holding her. Do you get what I mean??? Well good luck. I am so far guessing this is your first date. I hope everything goes well.

He may be nervous or trying something different to get your attention! I am not a dude but I always hear that it takes alot for some guys to ask a girl out. Take it as a compliment.. he may think you've had every "come on" line in the book and he wants to stand out. Give the boy a chance!

Well,you answered your own question. Maybe he already has a date,seeing somebody,or just isn't interested in you. In,your question you said MY GUY,then are you fighting and this is why he doesn't want to go out with you. Because he couldn't be your guy,if you have never gone out before,oh well I'm confused now. Have a wonderful weekend all.

Not necessarily. It depends how you formulate your question. Sometimes is better to give some harmless suggestions and let him to take the initiative. Anyway, you can demonstrate no deep feelings about him the first date so you’ll drive him nuts. See what happens!

I expressed attraction for a guy who didn't bother to respond.  It hurts, but I am not sorry I did it.  We had been very flirty so I know he was attracted but for whatever reason my asking him freaked him out.  Maybe he'll come around but probably not.  I wish it could have worked out, but it didn't.  I'm not sorry I asked though, at least I know and I'm not wondering.

He's probably a little nervous, and that's quite understandable. Don't push it yet. Make him feel more comfortable, and after a little while, if he doesn't ask you out and you think he still wants to, ask him.

Hey I'm a prep and I have never even had a bf!! I have better things to do...even though guys are cool and all. I have a lot of guy friends and I don't get all caught up with dating. I have school work, fencing, and a lot of other things to keep up with. Anyway, don't associate being preppy with dating. Not everyone's like that...even though it may feel like that sometimes. :)

Just be yourself, stay happy, and dont let it show that you are too worried, just a bit and the person that asked you out should be able to see and understand, most people have ways to make others more comforatable, so talk, be honest, and i hope it all works out for you!  :)

Take a deep breath, it will all be fine, if he's not interested big deal. He's not going to walk around telling everyone you asked him out and he turned you down. You know what my personal moto is- Glory to the brave. When ever I want to ask out a girl or approach a girl and I start to fear rejection I say to myself Glory to the Brave and do it. I've got rejected before, but in a few days you'll never remember and I've also gone out with some beautiful girls, and that wouldn't have happened if I didn't have the balls to make a move
