1. I think you're right
That's my opinion as a single guy.

2. I think it depends on whose burden it is for planning the date...
I've found that if the date is planned by only one person going on the date, they will be more nervous, and nowadays, that person doesn't necessarily have to be the guy. I've had women tell me exactly what we are going to do, and other times we talk about it beforehand and plan the date together. In a case like that, the pressure is off, so much, though not all, of the nervousness is lifted.

4. I was speaking more about the whole concept of dating as opposed to specific dates
but what you say is probably correct.

5. Oh hell, I'm a nervous wreck when thinking about dating someone...
I'm also as dense as a blackhole, so I've had frustrated women ask me out dates, which I don't mind, hell, I prefer that. Most of my nervousness is in just asking them out in the first place, give me a few shots of Tequila and I can do it, but sober? Forget that shit.

3. I think it's mostly me.
I think I've posted about ten threads on the subject.

6. I kinda think it's always been that way....
used to be that guys weren't as willing to say so, though.
