I need advice!!!!

So me and my boyfriend have a kind of complicated relationship, we go to the same school and in the same grade but all we do is email! I want to spent more time with him in real life but he’s really awkward around me. He’s telling me he likes me still, and I believe it, but how do I spend time with him without him being awkward?????

(He just told me that his friends tease him when I’m around so that could be a factor?)
