Young Brother...
First off I never advise because noone can advise another without holding that person's worldview which is not possible...Advice is BS- Even if I know you better than you do there are still fears issues hangups that I do not ...
"coming up with an excuse to spend time with them" With COVID we are all a bit isolated from friends from making new friends from casually hanging out with others some to the point of cabin fever...You have every reason in the world to seek out their company regularly and often...Just for someone to talk to you can trust if for nothing else..
Admitting a crush bodes well as crushes tend to be stored as erotic cristallisations forming one's lovemap even 30 years on or if the individual becomes grotesque fondness often remains there is a sense of sentimentality especially in women and more so those in their teens.
With all women and especially Aunties do not be too pervy premature sexualized and never be creepy also NEVER BE NICE ...Kind warm sweet thoughtful absolutely but nice sends you directly to the friendzone as you will become their harmless gay nephew....Nothing Nice- What I dig doing is being an Honest Manipulator...Which goes a little something like this...I love having a laugh especially being a smart ass pranking teasing offending others jackassary...It comes natural BUT at any given time ask me a direct question and I am AUTHENTIC to a fault so If I am not being facetious and having a laugh I am "true self revealed" Several of my exs in the first months I would make grandiose funny claims (to fully 'disclose' and admit anything untoward controversial negative or well you'll get it) one being "I am a motherfucking Pimp with hoes and I am going to steal your babymoney and put you under pimp arrest" or something to that effect and they'd laugh and make fun of me until they didnt about month 3 to 6 when they were under my spell in love brainwashed interdependent/ There will be a time where they will be in tears crying when it sinks in that they realize "you weren't joking I thought you were joking it just seemed so absurd you are always so funny waa waa waa boohoohoo"" But BITCH, bruhahaha, I told you like 50 times...Now often its not that I seek to pimp them out (that's against code and will get you busted they must seek me out I can not seek them as it were) but rather that I have other girlfriends and flat out refuse to contribute to rent or the bills we ought be sharing....But in your sitch this would protect you say if you go too far with something you say awe well you were just playing and in turn you can make threats that you can carry out because they will have assumed you were kidding...See how it werks?? So be funny and be genuine-
Make haste slowly on requesting photos better to get a cool camera and take your own if possible. Hidden cams are unethical but cheap AF and easy to install.

I NEVER choose only to say both or if I must choose I'll say surprise me...Its like bidding against yourself never state what salary you will accept you wait for your perspective employer to mention what he is apt to pay FIRST...BUT the AUNT will educate you give you experience in such a way you are likely to become a masterful confident lover and 10 years ahead of the game and that of your peers...Older women for the WIN! All Ways!
Threw some TMI in for you so you can get a feel for my POV see if it gels with your own...
