I want to date my roommate's brother
Oh is that so? Why do you want to date your roommate's brother?
I think he is handsome.
You should find someone else to date, it's wrong to put someone you live with in an uncomfortable situation. Your roommate will not be happy if you date her brother.
I'm going to practice persuasion and get her on my side.
I can see that you might have feelings for him, but it is wrong to put someone you live with in an uncomfortable situation. You should talk to her about it first and get her thoughts on the situation.
