hello teachers,

Could you tell me what "I'm game" means?

Here is the context:

"And sex?"
"I hadn't really gotten that far yet," Ray said. "Now I kiss you and it's not the same."
"We could keep trying," Ruth said. "I'm game if you don't tell anyone."

Thanks.

A similar phase is, "I'm up for it." They both mean, "I am willing to do it if you are."
