"Lets loose" sounds like it was intentional. If it was intentional, then it would be an indicator that this is not someone with whom I'm compatible. I'd cut the evening short, and that would be the last date. I can't stand gross and inappropriate behavior.
Lets say you're on this first time date with someone. They're very attractive, a pleasing personality, sexy. You go to this high-end expensive restaurant. You two are having a good time conversing. In the middle of the meal your date suddenly lets loose with this big loud fart. Right away you could smell it and so could the tables around you. Everyone is staring at you guys. But your date does say "excuse me". What do you do?
If you are a gentleman, you take credit for the fart so that the other customers think it was you, and not her. It's just the polite thing to do.
I wouldn't leave but I wouldn't see him again. I really hate crude boorish behavior and if he's doing it now he'll be farting continuously after a couple weeks of dating.
Expecting an explanation of any of 100 reasons...'Just got over food poisoning
but didn't want to cancel...My mom is weird and I HAD
to eat some of her bean casserole'....there are a million reasons for the slippage.
Just got off antibiotics...
If it happened once and it was intentional, I'd find it really funny, especially if it was a high end place full of stuffy, uptight people. If it happened repeatedly, I might be turned off.

Hey, farts happen. Yeah, optimally not in public, but it's not the end of the world, and sounds to me like a good "what happened on our first date" story. I wouldn't hold it against her. Maybe wiggle my eyebrows or wink or something to let her know she's ok in my eyes.
I also like the suggestion made earlier about taking credit for it yourself. Deflecting bad attention from her would be a nice thing to do, I think.
Have to admit, I carry those convenient dental floss sticks for those trouble spots at dinner.
Never had a problem controlling those flatulent moments.
I am getting older......
