(F13) So, I like this guy quite a bit. I asked him if he wanted to go sledding with me, and he said yes. Our plan is to go sledding and what not. But I'm not sure if this is a date (We are in middle school) and if it is, or if it isn't, what do I wear? The temperatures will be around 30F but I'm not so sure about wearing my snow gear, because I am afraid I will look clunky if I wear it all. Furthermore, do we hang out at the sledding place or do we go to one of the others houses? Would it be weird if I brought hot chocolate to sledding?
Now if he is the right kind of guy for you as a friend or more, he will not be expecting you to be anything other than practical in this case. If he cared about you, he'd want you warm, not freezing to show up in a thin cute outfit that won't keep you warm. Bundle up dear. Its girls that worry too much about their looks when the guys are perfectly happy with a lot less fuss. I wouldn't even wear makeup in case there's a chance of doing a face plant in the snow or getting a snowball in the face from someone. But thats up to you. Bringing hot chocolate is thoughtful and shows you can think ahead and dressing for the weather instead of to impress shows that you are practical. If the guy only is interested when you are dolled up, he won't make a good friend, bf or mate some day. This is one of lifes lessons to start learning now. Good luck.

There's no real rules here about what to do and not to. Common sense dictates hat you would wear your clunky winter gear because he will do the same. You don't want to freeze your ass off after all. He's not going to judge your appearance based on your snow gear.
For now treat this as a situation that is more of a getting to know you and feeling things out kind of day where you're just hanging out and if something happened where you both want to do this again than think of dates. Unless you made it clear in your invite that it was a date he may not be aware of it being one.
If it goes well and you want to hang out longer suggest where you could go ie: house or something near by such as coffee or restaurant etc. Go with the flow and see what happens and above all relax and be who you are. That's what attracts people to you.
When it comes to guys this age they usually don't hang out with girls alone unless there is genuine interest in them as either a friend or more. If he didn't like you he wouldn't have agreed to coming. Odds are this is going in the direction you wish it would but at the same time you have to see what direction it is or isn't going in by seeing signs as things unfold around you.
