<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

Hello, r/relationships! I'm at a loss here and I'm looking for an outside perspective. Thank you for the help in advance! 

So, I met Matt (names changed) on Tinder about a month ago. We went to the same high school and had the same friend group, but we never really talked more than the occasional "hello" and pleasantries.

Fast forward to now where we text/Snapchat constantly and hang out at least three times a week (sometimes less, if schedules don't permit or there's prior obligations). This isn't like something we extremely plan out, it's more of a like, "Hey, I'm bored. Come over and let's get lunch." 

But, it never ends up being just like an hour lunch. It ends up being a five hour plus event where we end up talking about life and goals and other things. I love this time with Matt. I cherish this deeply. I cherish it to the point where I go out of the way to go to things he enjoys. I ended up going to his comedy show and meeting his parents and he told me that he was glad that I came and hope I make it to the next one. But, he's never said that we've been hanging out or going on dates. It's up in the air, to me. 

With that being said, I'm developing feelings for him and I don't know how to proceed. It's been a long time since I've been in a relationship and my last relationship was relatively abusive so I'm nervous how to proceed. I want to continue to hang out with him and enjoy his friendship, but I also want more.
<bot>: I have developed a new friendship that I want to develop into something more. He's sending semi-mixed signals, but I need an outsider's perspective.
