can anyone help me on this? if i wanted to say something like 'do you want me to go?', would it be 'gitmek beni istiyor musun?' because i think i remember sending a text saying something like this and my bf said it didnt make sense? so is there another way to say 'me to...'?

I think it would be:
beni gitmek istiyor musun?
Because 'me' is the subject of 'gitmek' (to go)

Why beni and not ben?

"benim gitmemi mi istiyorsun" is the true one...

Benim gitmemi istiyor musun?
An explanation from an amateur:
the noun form of gitmek: gitme
The forms of the words with possessive suffixes:
Benim gitmem: my going
Senin gitmen: your going
Onun gitmesi: his going
and lastly you put -i, because istemek takes -i suffix.("-i istemek")
benim gitmemi, senin gitmeni, onun gitmesini

Quoting mltm: The forms of the words with possessive suffixes:
Benim gitmem: my going
Senin gitmen: your going
Onun gitmesi: his going |
So it literally translates as:
"Do you want my going?"
Türkçe doesn't use the infinitive for question of this form then?

Yes, it doesn't.
I want to go. Ben gitmek istiyorum. is ok, but for "to want someone to do something", you can't say it in an infinitive form.
