"I have no problem meeting a man for the first time when it&amp;#039;s one-on-one, but if he&amp;#039;s with a group I don&amp;#039;t know, I clam up. Would a guy think it was weird if I asked him to go sit somewhere by ourselves so I can get him away from his friends? That all depends on how you ask. If you say, &amp;quot;Your buddies tell stupid jokes and smell like wet cheese \u2014 let&amp;#039;s get away from them!&amp;quot; he won&amp;#039;t go anywhere with you because it would mean dissing his pals.  Luckily, you can&amp;#039;t go wrong with the noisy-bar excuse: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s so loud! Want to sit over there, where we can hear each other better?&amp;quot; And to give you more confidence, take a page from the dude playbook and don&amp;#039;t wade into a group of potentials solo. Bring a wingwoman or two to help you out. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
