So I am 17 and a 17 year old guy friend told me he likes me. We haven't been able to hangout outside of class yet, but recently he asked me how far I would go with him. Since I had never dated anyone before and be would be my first, I asked him the same question. He responded by saying he had been given oral and had fingered a girl before. He described it as basically having sex without the intercourse part of it.
I don't really know what to do because I don't even think I would go past 1st base at this point since I have never even had my 1st kiss. Not to mention I'm not if sure if I like him I just really enjoy spending time with him and talking to him.
So many of my friends have said to just end it before it even begins and some are saying I should at least give him a chance.
I have zero experience in the relationship world so I'm not really sure what I should do. Does he seem like a total womanizer just in it for the sex? Should I give him a chance to prove himself to me? What do I do if he want to go further than what I am ready for? Please help

The guy is quite clear, he wants to do similar or more he done previously. Don't go ahead. He already put kind of a condition in front of you, how far you go? That's not a good beginning to start a relationship. He is not interested in the person you are but want to have sex. Don't give him chance.

He is at least honest but you are not ready for this (and to be honest you are not suppose to be doing that on first days anyway) To me he\
Just wants the sex, and not really care about your feelings.

To ask a girl, "how far with you go" is rude and you should have called him a jerk the minute he said that. ]

Then bragging about what he did with another girl, is a total loser ( most likely lying since he told you)
Get as far away from a loser like this

I know what your saying. I wasn't going to rush into anything. I told him we have to take it one step at a time and he has to respect that. I just didn't know what to do because he was so easy to talk to and kind and sweet until he began with I'm beautiful and moved on to how far would I go. At that point I flat out said to him that it seems that his only intention is to hook up with me, and that ended with him pissed for insinuating that he is a womanizer. The next moment everything had calmed down and he was calling me babe. Am I wrong to want to give him a chance?

I certainly wouldn't end up somewhere alone with him. Get to know him while hanging out with other friends and go to the mall, on picnics, for walks in the woods, horseback riding, etc. Observe how he behaves with you and others.
