Hi, so my name is Melanie and I’m 19. I’m really good friends with a guy who is 22 and I’ve had strong feelings for him since I met him when he was 19. We don’t see each other much – only in holidays and I’m best friends with his sister (she knows about the feelings). Anyway, me and the guy are sharing a tent on Friday on our DofE expedition. What do I do?? Any ideas – do I do something or do I leave it?

Thank you xx

Flirt with him. 😎

Wow April, this is simple and smart advice.

She doesn’t need to stress or plan something big. Just be kind, smile, talk, and see how he acts back. Flirting can be very small things, laughing, eye contact, being friendly. If it feels right, it will show. And if not, she still keeps the friendship safe. Simple and calm is best here.

Hello Melanie, it’s surprise to know that you were liking the guy for this long time

Sharing a tent can bring closeness, but it can also be awkward if it’s forced.

My advice? Let it be easy. Be yourself. Talk, laugh, see how it feels. If there’s a natural moment, eye contact, warmth, something mutual, you’ll feel it. If not, that’s okay too.

You don’t need to confess feelings or make a move just to avoid regret. What matters is whether he meets you halfway.

Sometimes the smartest move is simply staying open and present, not pushing the moment.

And if you’re still unsure, ask April.
