Is there potential to turn this into an actual relationship?

Dan and I have been good friends since the beginning of the school year (late August). We hang out in the same group, live 8 doors down from each other, and are really good friends.

We both like each other as more than friends. We’ve hooked up a couple times (just making out). He’s asked me to keep our hooking up from all of our friends "for now" though. He told me back in November (after the first time we hooked up) that with friends, he will hook up with them a few times to “get to know them more” and then if he likes her, he’ll ask them out. We talk all the time, and he begs me to come to his performances, and has asked me to go to out to dinner with him, his roommate, and his roommate's friend (but it didn't work out...) We’ve hooked up three times, but now its Winter Break, so we won’t see each other for an entire month. He hasn't hooked up with any other girls while we have been hooking up.

Do you think we have the potential to turn into an actual relationship?
