Is it a date if he asks to go for ice cream? We've been talking for about a month every day. "We should get some ice cream some time this summer"?

I texted him first because I was curious and knew him a bit from HS. We have been texting since then every day. I feel our texts are pretty average and not too flirty. He texts my name a lot. Is he asking to hang out or a date? Before asking he said, "I don't know if this is weird or not". He recently talked about a girl he liked back in HS, does that mean he sees me as a friend?
