8th grade boys

Olivia
So im going into 8th grade this year but I like this guy that I went to the movies with last year as a date but broke things off right after cause he was telling my other friends that he hated me. But him and I are now like best friends and I like him a lot but we wouldn't really get to see eachother at all once school starts. I told him that i like him a couple weeks ago but he never told me how he felt so im confused if I should ask him out or not. What should I do?!?😬
