Question
Alright, kind of a long story here. Me and my ex broke up about 3 weeks ago. Well, about 2 or 3 weeks before we broke up (we dated for a year and half) he introduced me to his friend that i thought was extremely cute. He came over for my new years eve party. And he told my ex that he wanted me. Not knowing it was his girlfriend. haha. Well, I was told by my ex he still likes me, but i am not sure. Well, this kid, I saw online one day and said hey to him. And we talked about our party on new years and such. and we've been texting for about a week now and we're hanging out later today. I'm really nervous. A lot of his texts have :D or :) or ;) in them, but i dont know if thats just to be nice. I am in college and so is he, different ones. But still, we're hanging out later is the point. he's kind of "scene" i'd guess you'd say. But my ex said he's really nice and that i have a chance and that I should definently atleast try. So, im nervous. We may end up doing stuff. I dont know yet, but what should I do today? Like, should I let him have what i want and im sure he wants or should i not let him "have" me but maybe tease him? Im so scared. And what do we talk about? This is the first time i'm spending a day with a guy thats a potential boyfriend without him already being my boyfriend haha. Please help!!!! Thanks!!!

Answer
if you're interested in quick, casual, no strings sex, do it--if you're interested in perhaps beginning to date someone and possibly have a real relationship, a kiss on the cheek is the way to go...why give up the prize before he  even does anything to EARN it, then feel bad about it when he doesn't call back?
