Dear Dish-It, Are We Going Out?

Happy Valentine's Day!

Dear Dish-It

Dear Dish-It,

I gave this guy a Valentine's card and he gave me one. He's really sweet and I know him from my work. Does this mean we're going out? Please help, I'm seeing him tomorrow.

Dear xXx,

Exchanging Valentine's Day cards is definitely a good step to starting a new relationship, but just because your crush has let you know that he's crushin' back, doesn't mean you guys are suddenly a couple. Valentine's Day can be very romantic, so it's understandable that you might want to put a label on this relationship, but the best advice I have is to just take things slow. There's no need to jump head on into something serious. Instead, take things one step at a time. Ask him out to a movie or to grab some ice cream with you. Hanging out together in a casual setting will help you guys figure out whether or not you're suited to officially become boyfriend and girlfriend and you'll have a lot more fun if you're not putting so much pressure on yourself. Have a very happy Valentine's Day!

So, ya gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' 'bout stuff like depression, sex,how ya feel 'bout YOURSELF (that's called "self-esteem"), boyfriends, girlfriends, losin' old friends, bullyin' or peer pressure, but too scared to ask the parents? Don't be scared to Dish-It here. But 'member, if ya hang out in Chat with other Kidzworld members who know ya by your 'username', ya might wanna use a secret nickname when ya write in. That way no one'll ever know it's you. And, just in case ya don't know, Dish-It gets a lotta letters everyday, and she can't answer 'em all. So keep checkin' the column cuz she's prob'ly answerin' somethin' very similar to your question while you're out doin' somethin' else. K? And Thanks! Ya keep her outta trouble. Oh! And if ya've got words of wisdom you wanna share,We'll dish 'em up, too.
