Meet him. He said he wanted to see our dragon form, so let's show him that.
We didn't want to charge ahead with full confidence and no insecurity before we even knew how he felt. But now that we do know how he feels, now we can have some fun; we're a dragon, we see something we want, let's go after it with all our ability. ("it" being love and a romantic relationship, here, not him as an object.)
We're not trying to seduce or get seduced right now. Certainly not on a first date. And we're not trying to use more APPEAL than we have the skill for. But we have a lot of MIND, and a lot of APPEAL is being thoughtful, keeping another person in mind, and making them feel special.
We don't need to plan for using our meeting after school primarily to learn from him (not least of which because that feels like the wrong approach to take); we can take a lesson right now. Look at how Skif made us feel at the end of the conversation, and look at how he did it. He made a romantic gesture (the kiss) right away, but then he thought of and said exactly what we needed to feel better about the one thing we were scared of, and he put our friendship first before he got a bit playful. Thoughtful, keeping the other person in mind, and making them feel special. We're not oblivious, we can see exactly how thoughtful and caring he was (which makes him even more of a keeper), and we can learn.
(If we can get our tongue untied, and his words give us exactly the feelings we need to do that. He's still our friend, and he wants to be more; let's grab on to that good thing in front of us!)
No sense jumping straight into a traditional dinner date when we already know each other pretty well; we're trying to expand that relationship to include romance, and figure out what that means for us. And let's not set a weird set of expectations, or go by anyone else's expectations for what romance means; the whole point is to figure out what it means for us.
Let's be non-traditional, here, and invite him out. It'll be right after school, so we don't need to go straight from there to an early dinner; how about a long walk and conversation? Do we know a secluded beach or forest spot nearby, where nobody goes? Our newly adventurous self must have done some exploring around the area; take him to some spot only we know about and share it with him. Then show him our dragon form, as suggested.
(And if, in the process, after we talk for a while, that form and our polymorphing abilities gives us a few more playful flirting opportunities, let's take advantage of them. A large wing is great for draping over shoulders. And we do have a hot internal temperature and a long prehensile tongue; a few hints makes for a vivid imagination later. But "showing him our dragon form" isn't a euphemism for something more here; that's all we're doing there, and we shouldn't be trying anything else on a first date.)
For dinner, we could pick up something we both enjoy that keeps for a bit (sandwiches or other comfort food), and have an impromptu picnic out at that spot we're showing him. Beats having a sit-down dinner at "uncomfortable-r-us" any day, and fits better for two people who are already friends.
From our off-screen friendship, what do we know he enjoys doing? We could use that either as second date material or as a continuation of the first date, depending on what it is.
As for asking him out in the first place, we could use a temporary polymorph (non-dragon) or a portal to sneak up behind him and surprise him. Give him a hug and a kiss on the forehead for knowing exactly what to say. As >>715964 said, "at some point, in a moment of weakness, admit that this whole thing is very new to you, and you have no idea what you are doing"; but tell him we want to try. And as >>715981 said, "you can actually date, learn from, and show him your dragon form at the same time." (Definitely give our parents a heads-up, too.)
