My crush likes me....Now what?

I'm really scared too ask my crush out,and I know he likes me,I get sorta nervous around him,but we text all the time.And our text conversations are sort of awkward and boring,it starts off "hey" then "wyd" and then "nm" and then "oh cool,sorry I bore you." then he says "nah,you dont its okay lol" then After a while one of us just says bye...And I KNOW he likes me,but now what?I recently went too my bff's house and he lives next too her,and she had a dance party for her b-day,well him and his friends were spying,and his frends kept coming up too me telling me "Hey,eric likes you and stuff.and everytime he said that eric kept runnin away :O so now its kinda awkward around him. WHAT TO DO .and HOW TO ASK HIM O_O
