If you are interested in hanging with Naoto, go to the shopping district. There should soon be a suspicious guy in the first part near the entrance you need to talk to.
 Also, be ready for the CRAZY to start.

I thought the same thing about Naoto in the beginning(well,not exactly the hating part, but the "she talks too much part), but after completing her social link she became one of my favorite characters of Persona 4.

And btw, wearing a short skirt is totally against Naoto´s character.

Posting this for redundancy, because they definitely need to see it.  That said though, their lack of maxed Courage is going to make getting lv10 with Naoto...tricky.

To add a bit of my own, Naoto's S.Link has a prereq for it to go the lovers path instead of just friends.  If you ever get the option, say YOU'RE GLAD SHE'S A GIRL!

Vinny you do clothes just like me. l do about one or two loads of wash a week and never seperate anything except rare occasion when I want to bleach my sox. Also I amost never make it to the step of folding and putting away the clothes but just kind of leave them piled in the basket or on the floor.

Also, I read something that said if you want to get "intimate" with Naoto, you have to tell her  that you're glad she's a girl during Social Link Rank 6.

Rank 8: "I Wish I Didn't Fear Cats" (3 days) total

Samegawa Flood Plain, talk to man under a tree.  Ask him about cats.

Go to Dojima Residence (not Evening) and talk to cat (requires completion of Quest 14, "Please Feed the Cat" which requires at least one fish).  Bring the man.  He runs.

Next day, talk to him again. He requires a Red Goldfish, through fishing (best time is a clear day).  He runs.

Next day, talk to him again.

Is there a point where we can just tell them to save in a new slot so maybe they can get both endings?

Sorry to go against the tide of opinion, but I'd like to suggest that Jeff and Vinny NOT use a FAQ to get the [good ending]. The whole point of the [avoid the bad ending] event is that you're supposed to pay attention to what the game has been saying for 70 hours: Don't jump to conclusions and take the easy way out; instead seek the whole truth. Unlike some RPG puzzles, it's not meant to be some sort of obstacle that you NEED a guide to solve.
["I want to see Vinny and Jeff get the good ending!"] is perfectly fine, but in an RPG centered around solving a mystery, the whole point of having a [Good Ending] is that you're supposed to EARN it.

Don't worry about the endings, everyone. Once you've committed to the bad ending, the game ends. You don't have the opportunity to save and get yourself stuck. They can just re-load their save and try again.
