YA book with gay protagonists, the description mentioned something along the lines of 'they go on a series of (first) dates' or something, I think they were ex-boyfriends or there was something mentioned about an ex, also there was something about one guy sending stuff or letters back to his ex if I remember correctly

Thanks for the help.

Maybe something by David Levithan, like Boy Meets Boy?

What If It's Us maybe? (Doesn't come out until October, though.)

Cara, are you still looking for this or did you find it?

The Dating Game, by Jay Northcote?

Five sex-free dates—how hard can it be?

When they were at uni, Owen always had a bit of a crush on Nathan. But Nathan was apparently straight, and Owen was too busy with other guys to take his crush seriously.

When Nathan moves back to Bristol after a year away, Owen hears that Nathan has come out of the closet, and he propositions him. Nathan doesn’t want to be just another notch on Owen’s bedpost, though, so he challenges Owen to prove he can be serious: five dates before they have sex.

Owen doesn’t think that sounds too difficult. He’s expecting Nathan to find his charms irresistible anyway. But as they grow closer, Owen begins to care more about proving himself to Nathan than he does about getting him into bed.

I agree this sounds like What If It's Us.
