Maybe it's an American thing to ask people on dates so you can get to know them, I dunno. All I know is it is not the way I do things so if you ask me on a date without making your intentions clear, I WILL ask what they are. But, I agree. You really should know him well enough to know before the first date.

Yes...and some of us girls are *clueless* and we need better hints. My friends (both male and female) have had to tell me in the past when someone is interested in me because I just *don't get it*. My 'you're being hit on IQ' is very low apparently. I think this is because I just am generally friendly toward most people and am so busy trying to make other people feel comfortable that I miss the neon flashing signs.
Therefore, I personally appreciate the direct approach ('Hey, I like you and would like to go out some time, would that be ok?'). As a result, I'm not scared by any first date chatter either. If a guy says up front he's looking for something casual or if he's looking for a life partner or if he wants to be married with 2.5 kids by age XYZ, that's not scary. That tells me he knows what he wants at this point in life. Whether I agree or not with his life goals, his confidence is still an attractive quality. It may not work out with us, but I have friends...and I have no problem setting him up with like-minded friends. Be honest and you can reap the rewards of networking!
