Wa a'laykumus salaam warahmatullah wabarakaatuh,
May Allâh forgive your shortcomings and make you a true repentant slave.
Firstly repent sincerely to Allâh and be intentional about shying away from everything that can lead to zina. If he's ready to get married soon, request he meets your wali (guardian) to declare his intention, that's the correct marriage proposal procedure according to shari'ah. You can only know if his intention is marriage if he's willing to meet your wali; after that, both of you shouldn't waste time in getting married to avoid falling into fitnah.
If he's not ready, I'll advice you look for another brother who's ready for Nikkah, and request he meets your wali ASAP if truly he intends to marry you and he's truly ready to get married soon. The laws of Allâh are there to protect us, but we usually place our desires and what's generally accepted in the soy above Allâh's perfect laws.
The link below is the correct proposal and marriage procedure in Islaam, endeavor to read and implement as commanded by your Creator.

Allah, the Exalted, says:
"And ask forgiveness for your sin...'' (Qur'an 47:19)
"And seek the forgiveness of Allah. Certainly, Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'' (Qur'an 4:106)
"And declare the freedom of your Rabb from imperfection beginning with His praise, and ask His forgiveness. Verily, He is the One Who accepts the repentance and Who forgives.'' (Qur'an 110:3)
"For Al-Muttaqun (the pious) there are Gardens (Jannah) with their Rubb, underneath which rivers flow. Therein (is their) eternal (home) and Azwajun Mutahharatun (purified mates or wives). And Allah will be pleased with them. And Allah is All-Seer of the (His) slaves. Those who say: 'Our Rubb! We have indeed believed, so forgive us our sins and save us from the punishment of the Fire. (They are) those who are patient, those who are true (in Faith, words, and deeds), and obedient with sincere devotion in worship to Allah. Those who spend (give the Zakat and alms in the way of Allah) and those who pray and beg Allah's Pardon in the last hours of the night.'' (Qur'an 3:15-17)
"And whoever does evil or wrongs himself but afterward seeks Allah's forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'' (Qur'an 4:110)
