What do you mean, OP? Do you mean they expect sex on the first date? How are you meeting these guys: online, through friends, randomly? You may need to be more selective re: whom you choose to date. More info, please.

If you're attractive, yes it is normal. A good way to get them to back off just a little bit is to tell them to back off just a little bit.

How sad. My wife and I have been married for 43 years as of last month.

I guess you just have to be blunt. Are there no gentleman left in the world?

If your definition of "gentleman (sic)" is "men who don't pursue sex with people to whom they're attracted," I don't think they've ever existed, at least not in very large numbers.

I just am afraid that I'm giving out desparate vibes after being in an emotional and physically abusive marriage. I'm just looking to have a good time right now, but, eventually I would love to meet somebody who thought I was not only attractive, but, smart, fun and witty. I don't just want to be sex material. I meet these people everywhere it seems. They are very nice and sweet and then all of a sudden they bring up spending the night or something....

Wow, nice and sweet? Then they pull a switcheroo? Do you think there might be red flags early on that you're ignoring? "All of a sudden" = how sudden? After one date? Several dates? In any case, I think generally, people need to weed through a lot of chaff to get to the few kernels of good wheat. You have to expect a lot of attrition. And some people take a lot for granted these days, i.e. entitlement to a woman's body. Or they assume women are in it for sex, just like they are. And some women are, so occasionally the guys' expectations get met.
