Should I date him?

So this guy has liked me for about a year now he just recently told me. Like he’s been so sweet and kind and he’ll always buy me things like food without me having to ask him and offering to drive me home after school. It’s clear that he wants to be with me but I just don’t know what to do. On one hand I’m starting to like because he’s really starting to grow on me but on the other hand if we do start to go out and then we break up I’m going to have to see him around school or we might even have classes together and I don’t want things to be awkward. And I don’t know what to do, all my friends are telling me to go for it but deep down I don’t know what to do. Can someone give me some advice?
