Halp wanna ask someone out don't know what do!

[KappaKappa]

Hello, I'm an 8th grader. Just call me by my username, don't like to share my name online. I have dated about over nine-thousand girls (7 girls) but I just recently came out as Bi (not many people actually know yet). This kid, whom is very intelligent I must add, skipped 7th grade. I like him. He's funny, nice, cute and whatnot.
I am asking a few questions under this topic:
A. Is it right to date him if he's a year younger than me?

B. How do I figure out his sexuality? (Not fond of asking him)

C. What do I say?

and D. Is Six Flags a great place for a date?

Here is some more details:
We both talk on Steam quite frequently, but not that often during school days (he is in advanced classes and has quite a lot of homework). Im not sure if he likes me the way I kinda do. I have caught him looking at me from time to time during P.E. or Automation and Robotics. We are quite similar; he knows memes, he is quite mature, and loves video games.

If you could, please answer any of those questions the best you could.
Thanks...

Hang out as friends. Don't try to date him because if he's straight it could be weird for him. If you guys become friends, then it would be easier to tell what orientation he is.

Steam the website to buy video games? Cool. Well it is not wrong to date someone younger than you. My first love was two years older than me. Well ask him to hang out with you. Play video games and stuff and then randomly ask him about puberty, what he looks for in a date, and if he would consider dating a guy. Just become friends at first if you are too shy to tell him how you feel right now.

you will be able to figure out what orientation he by asking him, but I would wait till you actually get to know him. by then you might already figure out, but if you are going to ask him, kind of let the convo go in that direction and try to do it in a way the question sounds more natural. instead of asking randomly do you like guys?

if he ends up liking guys, then yea, Six Flags would be a great way. lots of time to talk as you wait in lines all day

and no a year is not a bad thing

Thanks, everyone.
My family is getting season passes, and we're allowed to bring one guest on certain days for free with them, so I thought it would be a great place.
Also, we are good friends. Been friends since mid August. Luckily I was partnered with him for a REALLY long project for Auto. and Robotics.
Glad you guys could help, wish me good luck that everything turns out good.

good luck, like I said though, I would not ask out right, unless you really want to. try to steer the convo in that direction and go form there
