You've been seeing each other for a few weeks. You packed your toothbrush in hopes this date leads to an overnighter. So, what does he think when he sees you naked for the first time?
"She looks amazing."
It doesn't matter how many other women a guy has seen naked. The first time you get undressed in front of him he's going to respond like a kid unwrapping a Christmas present. He's likely been wondering what you look like naked for quite some time, and no matter how much he's thought of it the reality is always going to be better than the fantasy.
"Keep your sh*t together."
There may be some anxiety on the guy's end. He may temporarily become self-conscious about his own body issues (yes, we have those too) or worry about his ability to perform at peak stamina or skill. He may also be a bit over-excited by seeing you naked for the first time and doesn't want to give that away either.
"Take a mental snapshot."
He's going to want to remember this. If he forgets in the mind-blowing, glorious moment that is seeing you naked for the first time, he will get around to taking a mental snapshot sometime soon. This isn't a casual, "Hope I remember this." It's him summoning some foreign aspect of his brain that acts as a camera to insure he doesn't forget the shape of your body.
"Those are amazing breasts/nipples."
Each pair of breasts are unique. Maybe one of your breasts is smaller than the other. Or you have very long nipples. Or surprisingly large areolae. Whatever it may be that the guy notices as "different" is not bad! In fact, new is often good and exciting. Just don't be surprised if your new guy seems to focus more of his attention there that night rather than other parts of your body. What may be your insecurity, might just be his favorite thing.
"What in the world is that tattoo doing there?"
If you have a hidden tattoo on, say, your bikini line his mind will immediately go to it and try to figure it out. The fact that you got it in an area you normally keep covered makes us think there's some deeper message attached, one that you wouldn't want people asking you about when they saw it on your arm, for example. Don't be surprised if he asks you within the hour after he first sees it; he's been trying to figure it out since the moment he laid eyes on it.
"Oh man, I'm lucky."
I have never met a man who sees someone naked for the first time and turns to his friend the next day and says, "Her body was not nearly what I was hoping it would be." Quite the opposite. The first, second, and millionth time you strip down in front of him he will be counting his lucky stars. So don't worry about a thing; he's going to be excited to see you in all your glory.
