The Hookup: Out with the Old?

I can’t stop grinning. My head is in the clouds. I keep playing Boyz II Men tunes on my iPod. The truth is, I have a ridiculous crush!

I didn’t see this coming. I never thought I would ever kiss Sam. The first time he asked me out I declined his offer. But he was persistent and asked me out again to the Jay-Z/Mary J. Blige concert. How could I say no to that?

After the phenomenal concert we went out for drinks. Perdona me for sounding so cliché but I feel like I’ve known him for years. Perhaps it’s because we both grew up with god-fearing parents, admire our older sisters and have an obsession with old school rap. I usually go for tall, dorky white guys but Sam is a stocky Italian dude with gorgeous light eyes. He's also ridiculously hilarious. Sam could easily make a cameo as one of the funny guys in a Judd Apatow film like Superbad or Knocked Up.

Whatever the case may be, we ended up making out profusely in the bar. He has a tongue ring which made the besos quite interesting! After 15 minutes of kissing, we left the bar and took our canoodling to the great outdoors. As we walked around the streets of New York City, laughing and making out, we stumbled upon Bryant Park. The “No Trespassers” sign clearly indicated that the park was closed but Sam and I decided to sneak in anyway. We found ourselves in the empty, quiet park and kissed by the water fountain until a cop kicked us out. We’ve been talking everyday since and already have plans to hang out next week.

Here’s my dilemma, I’m really stoked about Sam but I’m going out of town to visit friends this weekend and an adorable old flame will be there. The old flame definitely wants to get down and suggested I crash at his place on Saturday night. He’s so cute. Tall and athletic with an infectious smile, he’s like the Ashton Kutcher to Sam’s Seth Rogen!

I’m not in a committed relationship with anyone so is it OK if I fool around with my old flame? He’s very hard to resist! Or am I going to mess things up with Sam if I give in to my temptation? What do you think? I need your advice! Please, help an hermana out! Be sure to check in with me on Monday and I'll let you know all about what happened over the weekend.

Un abrazo Fuerte,

Lex

Ay mihija, You have to weigh your emotions and not the tit for tat card. Don't wonder what the Italian is going to be doing while you are away. Stay true to how you feel and if you don't feel comfortable with staying with the old flame follow that " Mas vale prevenir que lamentar". Don't put yourself in an awkward position with the old flame...preserve the friendship you may want to be able to revisit in the future who knows???!!! Can't wait to find out how you handled it.
Hmmm...I think that you should go and have fun with your friends. You're not in a relationship so enjoy yourself. But remember the reasons 'Ashton' is an old flame and remember the things you like about the Italian dude...
Andale...Try both of them out!! Hehehe...
I agree with SanLetty, I say you go for it! If the Italian boy had a chance to hook up with some hot chick...best believe he’d go for it. Truth be told that you two are not committed and men wouldn’t think twice if that’s the case. Anyway have fun! Enough said ;)
Girl you are not in a relationship so just go for it. If the old flame wants more and so do you than why not.
Okay chica, I see your dilema. I think you already know your answer. You are right you are not in a committed relationship. But this guy "Ashton", he sounds like someone who is fun for right now but anything else not so much. I say go visit your friend stay with "Ashton", so he won't feel blown off. but just don't hook up with him. If he is a friend he will understand no means no. Just because he is lending you a place to stay means you are obligated to fool around with him. If thats the case then why see this guy. Just go down there and see que pasa. Just have fun!!!! -Laura
Okay there is a saying test the water before you jump in. The choice is up to you if you want to be with old flame and rekindle some passion go ahead but is it worth it to do that and then go back to this really great guy sam ????? On the other hand Sam might do the same thing while you are away. No one is committed in this love triangle "Life gives the test first and the lesson later " Hope all goes well
