Can't vouch for your exact case, but I can tell you what works for mine.
One month is a short time to be in a romantic relationship, despite having known each other before. It may take time to settle in.
However, if you need to talk, then you should talk it out. It's important to be in the same page about the relationship. Otherwise it leads to tension.
I think the longer you keep the tension, the harder it becomes. While it's understand to not want to have awkward moments, some of these moments are unavoidable, and some are even essential. You may be afraid to risk your long friendship with him, but have it occur to you that you can use your friendship to your advantage in dealing with this awkwardness?
What you can probably do is intensify the touch in hope he get settled in more quickly. If you get some resistance, you can casually point it out to initiate that discussion in a light way.
I'm rooting on you!
