You should continue to be friends with him , but at the same time hang out more and get to know him better as well as for him to know you too. Don’t be in a rush. You are young take the time to know one another, lots of times people rush into a relationship only to fizzle or end in divorce because they never took the time to know one another. Speaking from experience with my wife we were friends for 2 and half years before we even decided to take it to the next level. A stronger bond was made unlike past relationships I had in the past . I’m sure you gone through your closet and looked at a shirt and asked your self “why the hell did I buy this ” , you bought it on impulse because you liked it at the time. Same thing happens when you rush a relationship. Good luck and be patient.
