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 gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' about stuff like teen suicide, depression, sex, low self-esteem, boyfriends, girlfriends, losing old friends, bullying or peer pressure but are too scared to ask the 'rents? Don't be scared to Dish-It. Just remember, if you hang out in chat with other Kidzworld members who know you by your nick, you might wanna use a secret nick when you write in. That way no one will ever know it's you. Remember though, Dish-It gets tons of letters a day, so she can't answer 'em all. But keep checkin' the column cuz chances are, she'll be answering something very similar to your question soon. Thanks! Got some words of wisdom you wanna share? We'll dish them up too.
