<human>: A longtime friend of mine and I have been talking with more intimate undertones lately. We live a little far apart but went out on a date together recently. He's mentioned how it sucks to be far apart from each other along with other statements that indicate something relationship-y is going on with us, but we haven't had an actual discussion on what it is exactly that we're doing.

Is it clingy or weird for me to ask what's going on with our friendship at this point? If not, what's the best way to ask? I mean, we've only been actually out together in that way once. But because we have a bit of distance between us it's more confusing and I'm not sure when it would be appropriate to bring it up.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: Things are getting weird with a close friend, not sure if I should bring this up or let the chips fall as they may.
