I'm in a very confusing situation?
On Monday, I received five text messages from this lovely boy I've been getting to know for the past few months (whom I "like") telling me that he really likes me, etc. I told him I like him in return and we set up a really nice date for the two of us when I get back from holiday (the first week of January). So, now I am confused. I've been in very few relationships, so I am unsure what this means. We have open feelings for each other and everyone knows this now. Yet, we aren't in an official relationship. I would love to go steady with him, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to let him know this. I'm assuming he also wants to be with me if he worked up the courage to finally tell me he has feelings for me. A gal friend of mine told me he's probably waiting until our really nice date to "ask me out". What if he doesn't? Should I ask him? How?
Do you see my dilemma?
I might also add that we are quite awkward at times and we're very much the same person, so if I'm likely not to do something, he probably won't either. (i.e. asking him out - to be "official")

I agree with your friend. He is probably waiting until your big date to talk to you about taking your "relationship" to the next step, which is the right thing to do because talking face-to-face would be better than asking you to go steady with him through a message. Try to relax, don't rush things, go with the flow, and takes things as they come. He already confirmed that he feels the same way that you do, so it's very likely that your date will go the way you're hoping it will! Good luck!

Be patient. The early 'dating' (but pre-official) period can be awkward. It's best to take it slow and not rush it. You will know when it feels right when you both are spending a lot of time together and are comfortable together. That's when to make it official. He might be shy, or he may not want to come off as desperate/needy. You've only just sent texts and such after all. I know (as a guy) I wouldn't be anywhere near asking a girl to be official at that point, no matter how great the connection was. It takes many dates and intimate time spent together for me to know whether or not we have long term potential. Too many people rush into relationships, and those tend to be short lasting.
