Q. Is it common for women to ask their male date directly during a first date if they have mental health problems like OCD or schizophrenia, or physical non-sexual problems, such as hypertension, IBS, ulcerative colitis, etc.?

No, it is not particularly common for women to ask their male date directly about mental health problems or physical non-sexual problems on the first date. It can feel awkward and uncomfortable, and many people don’t want to jump right in with such personal information before getting to know someone a bit better.
That said, it is important for both men and women to be open about any health issues they have so that each party knows what they're getting into if things progress past the initial meeting. It would be wise for you to eventually disclose any relevant issues you may have that could affect your relationship down the line. This way you can avoid potential confusion or misunderstanding once feelings become more involved.
At the same time, it’s always important to respect boundaries of both yourself and those around you when discussing such matters. Make sure that whatever questions or conversations might come up are done in an appropriate setting - one where your partner feels comfortable enough talking openly and honestly without feeling judged or embarrassed at all.
