Tl;Dr - i want to date a long time friend, we've hooked up already but i want to make it last and not awkward.

Did i do the right thing? There's a girl that i really like, i want to date her and i know she likes me too. The problem is that we've been friends for a long time and it's been a little weird trying to start a relationship from this almost 4 year friend ship.

Weve had sex and made out over the course of the past week and weve hung out a few times with just the two of us to talk things over but we never quite know what the right way to take this is. We both feel like we skipped a bunch of the normal steps to date someone so we're lost.

She continues to talk to me every single day and still agrees to meet up and hang out so i know that she still is interested in me, but there's some times where things are just a little awkward between us. That's mostly my fault because i think I'm worrying too much about putting a label on this and not focusing on just having a good time.

We talked last night and i told her we should just have fun, do whatever comes to mind and take it day by day since we've already went against the "regular way" to date. She seemed to take that very well.

Any advice on that? Any tips on how to keep things fun? I know i sound like a dumbass but i really want this to work out.
