<human>: Me: 21F.  Him: 27M.

Backstory: Went camping with a few friends last weekend, and met a friend of a friend that I hit it off with pretty well.  We didn't get to talk as much as I'd have liked, but I think we have many common interests and similar personalities.  Point - I am interested in getting to know him better.

Problem: Aforementioned love interest is like my friend's childhood best friend, and I just don't know how to approach this situation.  I feel awkward telling my friend I am interested because he would find out and I just generally don't talk to my friend about dating stuff (we're close about other stuff).  Unfortunately, mutual friend is also 27M and thinks I'm a baby. I am facebook friends with said love interest and this is the only way I have of independently contacting him.  I think the most natural progression would be if we hung out with mutual friends often, but it doesn't look like this is going to happen anytime soon (because mutual friends are busy people).  What to do?!

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Met older guy through mutual friend, want to get to know him better but probably will not hang out with him soon/often enough.  How to reach out?
