How do I make the first move? I've never done this before...

You started at the top...
Admittedly, there are a few guys that I really really like; they fit my kind of guy I'm looking for personality and physically wise. Yet, I don't know how to make the first move. I figured they'd come to me, but they haven't and instead want me to come to them. I don't have the confidence to approach them and I am deathly afraid of rejection.
I see everyone in a relationship and get so jealous. Its like, at 26 years of age, I should know what to do, but I don't. I've never dated before so I'm essentially starting out behind the curve with no experience.

Doing this will help you with the next step, which is building confidence. The best way to do this is to simply know what you want and ask for it. Not being afraid of rejection will go a long way toward building confidence. As cliché as it sounds, you know what you want, so go and ask for it. Be prepared for rejection know what she want, all the same.
What used to help me was being observational. "Hi, this is a bit awkward for me, but I had a question for you." Sometimes, being genuine and honest will go a long way.
I think you still have me on Skype. Hit me up if I can be of any more assistance
Dating is brutal, but in the end it is rewarding when you find that right someone. Don't rush it but don't be afraid either. And never drop the L-bomb unless you're really committed, I scared some people off with throwing that around when I shouldn't have. I've been with my bf almost a year now and with my situation that's a long time. The point isn't that I want to brag. The point is that things do indeed come with time and if you want to find someone, take the initiative to make the first steps. Like dominoes, things will eventually fall into place.
Note that all this is my opinion from my own personal experiences. Take it with a grain of salt. I think it was clear enough above but just in case- I am a homosexual man (in theory a guy can ask a girl out and assume she's straight...gay men have to have a bit more intuition and something to go on first, eh? Makes it harder unfortunately).
If for any reason you read this and want to talk to me, PM anytime. Also, I REPEAT- this is OPINION. I don't want people to start shouting at me for being wrong or not having facts straight.
