writes:I don't have much experience with dating. I've only been with one guy, and that was over a year ago. We lasted for only a few months, but things got serious really fast. He had emotional issues, and a few weeks before I left for college he dumped me out of the blue, even though we'd been planning to stay together even while I was away. Suffice it to say, that hurt pretty badly, and since then I hadn't been ready to get into dating. I just hadn't met any guys who matched up to my standards...until now.Last weekend, one of my roommates had his brother and a friend of their's stay at our apartment. The friend seems like everything I would want in a guy: exotic, handsome (he has a spectacular smile), funny, successful, healthy. He and I flirted a bit, especially on the first night that the boys were in town. Unfortunately, we didn't get to know each other very well, and I don't know when he'll be back again, since he lives about two hours away.What I want to know is, what should I do when he DOES come back (and I know he will, since he enjoys the outdoor sports in the area). I've never really made a move on a guy before, so I don't know how I should go about this without feeling stupid.He showed some interest in me, so I'm not exactly afraid of being rejected, but I just don't have much experience with this kind of thing and I'm embarressed. I don't want to ask my roommates about it, since they already make fun of my lack of dating experience. What should I do?

 What I would do, since he brings a friend with him, is separate yourselves from the others. I would do this by excusing yourself to maybe go outside for a walk, and as you're getting up, ask him if he'd like to join you. That way you can talk without the audience, so you can be yourself and feel pressured as to what they thing about how you act or don't act.
