A boyfriend is a label used to describe a romantic relationship. But only if he asked you to be his girlfriend. Showing that you guys are exclusive and you guys can't see other people.
Dating can go into that definition. But JUST dating is different. Dating is going on dates. There can be exclusive dating or just casual dating to see if you're interested in them.
So since you're really young, I can actually understand a little why you're confused. When I was 14, this guy who I really liked asked me to be his girlfriend. We hardly talked and only saw each other twice a week. We would sit by each other and talk and that was it. That was all a 14 year old could really have. So it wasn't a real relationship.
If you want to know where you stand with him, ask him. So the next time you see him, ask him and see what he says. Just explain that you don't know where you stand with him since you guys hardly talk and don't really act like you're dating. See what he says. Don't be nervous, you need to know this.

Right now i can only guess. I hope its more than just being seen together at school and talking sometimes.
If that were all that there was to being a couple, then your parents would never have married and you'd have never been born.
First, you need to gain some self confidence and approach the guy you like and say hi. Since you've talked with him before, start conversation on something he is interested in or regarding some teacher or event at school. And then tell him you miss having the conversations you used to have before your phone broke. Ask if he'd like to spend more time with you so you can do that. If he agrees with all this, great enjoy the conversation again. If you want more, like dating and being a couple, you might say, "If we spend more time together, it might appear that we are a couple or dating you know. In fact, now that i think of it, why don't we really date, we both like each other enough right?" Sneak in the invite to date. Guys are sometimes too chicken or have no idea what to say to a girl to make the suggestion themselves. Yes, its awkward at first. You;ll see as you get older, you'll be less concerned with what anyone thinks including the possible reactions of the guy you ask. Its always worth going for it and living a few moments of awkwardness to living a lifetime always wondering, "What if..." [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
