He asked her out on this date didn't he? There. Dating.
I get it though. Japanese are big on the kokuhaku thing. As a westerner, I find it odd though. Dating as an adult in the west, there's no formal proposal of "going out." You ask someone out on a date. If you enjoy it, you ask again. Repeat. The part about being bf/gf or dating exclusively naturally develops over time or it doesn't.
It's kinda like the difference between formally requesting permission to kiss, or just kinda leaning in, reading body language, understanding each other's feelings about it without saying a word, and it happens or it doesn't without the need for a discussion first.
Similarly, when was the last time you formally asked someone to be your friend? If you did you'd seem like a child. That's kinda how the kokuhaku confession feels, childish. Endearing when you see kids do it, but they continue that right into adult dating in Japan.
Considering how the Japanese culture is otherwise very non-vocal about feelings and things, I find it kinda fascinating that we're reversed on this one.

Denseness..overpowering..the tree. Snap out of it, Jun.
TECHNICALLY he's not wrong..... they established their mutual love and that's it. There was no proposal for the future of their relationship. But the future of their relationship has already been implied and agreed upon. And their agreement to be lovers was really only in passing. TECHNICALLY
But they've basically agreed to kiss and do lover and lovey things from here on out at whatever pace. And just went on a date.
So the density still stands at about 10% bakarina

Now I'm trying to re-read some chapters after the confession one. And I can confirm Jun never confessed to Tomo before.
So this old-school man still thinks that dating start when the man confessed. We must update his brain's driver then !
