I am strongly attracted to my friend’s boyfriend’s brother, and the feeling is mutual. I have never met him, and have communicated with him only through MSN Messenger and phone calls, but my friend has met him and says that he is nice. I am wondering how best to approach him when we do finally meet, as I am incredibly nervous and clumsy. Should I just hug him and say, “Hi”, or is something more required? I’m afraid that I’ll fall over him and put him off me for life.

In the olden days, having a physical relationship used to mean so much more than simply meeting someone face to face. Still, let’s not get overly nostalgic: nerves struck back then, too. I used to find a tot of rum was an excellent way of bracing the nerves, and was never without a hip flask. Whipping it out was always an icebreaker and helped with all kinds of physical relations. I remember the mortgage broker was most surprised and thought it might be against his code of practice. We got on famously in the end, even if the endowment was considerably less than he promised.
