I(20f) have a crush on my professor(40?m) and he likes me back

I(20f) have had a crush on my professor(in his forties, m) for a while now. We've been texting a while, he prefers texts over e-mail so I had texted him for something class-related and then it kinda escalated to something like texts between friends cus we share a common interests on stuffs and the talks have felt so natural... Honestly, I texted him a lot cus I just liked talking with him.

And the thing is, he asked me if I had feelings for him. And I couldn't bring myself to lie about that, so I said yes. He suggested to talk face-to-face he didn't pressure me and said it was okay if I just want to drop the subject, but yeah so we had a coffee together, and he basically said that he likes me back.

He said he won't make a move first cus he didn't want to make me feel uncomfortable, and now I don't know what I should do.

I'm a freshman this year, I have never dated anyone, and this is like the first real crush I've had on someone. I literally have no idea how to flirt with a man or make a move. What should I do?
