Would you be down to...

Could anyone please explain what do "down to like" and "save ourselves for marriage" mean here??Would you be down to like pinky promise to save ourselves for marriage?

"To be down" is rather new, rather hip-hop slang for "to be in favor of" or "to be ready for" or whatever the speaker might want it to mean in that realm of meaning. It is slang, and it is therefore semantically nebulous. You save yourself for marriage if you don't have *** until after you get married.
