I’m often asked if men (or women) should ask for sex on a first date. As a dating coach, my advice would be to not try and get out of the “friend zone” by asking for sex on the first date. This approach is likely to come across as disrespectful and may turn the other person off. Instead, take the time to get to know the person, build a connection, and establish trust before discussing any physical aspects of the relationship.

It’s important to remember that building a relationship takes time and effort. It’s not just about physical attraction, but also about emotional compatibility and shared values. By taking the time to get to know someone, you’ll be able to determine if you’re truly compatible and if there’s potential for a deeper connection. You must also be respectful of the other person’s feelings and boundaries. Everyone has different comfort levels when it comes to physical intimacy and it’s important to be sensitive to that. If you’re interested in someone, let them know and be open to getting to know them better. But if they’re not interested in taking things to the next level, don’t pressure them or try to change their mind.

In short, it’s best to be patient and to take things slow. It’s not about trying to get out of the friend zone, but about building a real connection with someone. Respect the other person’s feelings and boundaries, and take the time to get to know them before discussing physical aspects of the relationship. If you’re compatible and both interested, things will naturally progress in the right direction.
