come to the front desk, there’s some

lost property waiting for you.’”

We go to a restaurant and he

offers to pay. Do we order loads

and look greedy, or have a salad

and look boring?Tom “Order what he’s having.”

Dougie “Yeah.”

Danny “Yeah, say, ‘I’ll have the same.’”

Even if it’s the most expensive

thing on the menu?

All “Yes.”Dougie “Get sparkling water…

although I dunno why.”

What if he accidentally calls us

the wrong name?

Tom “Slap him.”

Harry “Slap him, yeah!”

What do we do if we invite a guy

round for the fi rst time and he

discovers the wall-to-ceiling McFly posters in our bedroom – including the life-sized Dougie one above the bed?Dougie “He steals your McFly posters?”All “Discovers!”Tom “They said ‘discovers’. You just made that bit up, Dougie.”Dougie “But of course he’s going to want to steal them!”Harry “What do you do if he fi nds them? Embrace it! Say, ‘I’m a big fan, what are you going to do about it?’”Dougie “Tell him to get out!”

We meet his friends for the fi rst time and realise we really like his best mate, who happens to be hotter than him and funnier. Awkward! What should we do?Harry “Follow your heart. ”Tom “Yeah, be true to yourself.”

We bring a guy home, but our dog really hates him…Tom “Put him down!”Harry “Put the dog down!”

It’s our third date with a guy and we accidentally fart…Tom “The girl farts?”Dougie “Girls don’t fart, do they?” Danny “Girls don’t!”Harry “Do girls fart?”Danny “They don’t.”

Um…Dougie “It’s just evolution.”Tom “Girls have evolved not to fart.”

What if we’re introduced to his girl mates and they take an instant dislike to us? All “Ooh…”Harry “Don’t try too hard, play it cool, be yourself. Be true to yourself and follow your heart!”

We haven’t been together long, but his birthday is coming up. Do we buy him a present?Dougie “Yes.”Harry “Just something small.”Dougie “Expensive but small. But make it substantial!”Danny “Ha ha! Small but substantial!”Tom “Just follow your heart, be true to yourself.”

Thanks Tom. OK, we’ve texted him, he hasn’t replied for more than 24 hours, what do we do?Dougie “Delete his number!”

After 24 hours?Dougie “Have you seen 24? A lot can happen in 24 hours.”Tom “That is true.”Harry “Set fi re to his house! Stand outside his house? No, don’t… just give it another 24 hours and then text him.”
