HELP - Dating in Italy

I'm studying abroad in Italy for a year. I'm 18 and a virgin and I've only been here for two months so far. I am one of the most unexperienced people I know when it comes to anything sexual. Last night I met up with this beyond gorgeous Italian man that I previously met and once I got home I realized I have no clue what I'm doing. I know all they want is sex and if I'm going to be completely honest i wish I could just have fun casual sex and not care, I've just been waiting to do it w someone I love and care about but I'm feeling like that isn't going to happen any time soon and I should just have fun while I'm here but I also don't want to do something I'll regret. If anyone has any advice please send it my way😂 I need to hear other opinions
