What action you can perform is determined by how much you've built up each character's Friendship, Romance, Fun and Sensuality meters. These actions range from chatting and gossiping to sweet talking and making out. From these menus you will be choosing what actions to perform on your roomie. This is the meat and potatoes of Singles' game play. When you click on the character you are not controlling, a little sub-menu pops-up over their head.
