There’s a dilemma which many people face even as adults when developing a crush on somebody in a context not directly associated with dating. Popular wisdom says that it’s a good idea to get to know that person a bit better before making a move, but if one does that, and a real friendship develops, how does one then make a move without creating the potentially creepy impression that one has been hiding an ulterior motive, and potentially threatening the friendship?

Though each has a girlfriend, their attitudes to dating are completely different. While Felipe has a van fitted out just for the purpose of hanky-panky, Manu’s first sexual experience leaves him with more questions than answers.
