I had a first date recently with a man I met from a dating app. We don't live in the same area. We videocalled a few times, had great conversations, and he drove a few hours round trip to spend half a day with me. He was a sporadic but daily texter to begin with, usually 1-2 texts per day. Mostly our text conversation continued naturally from day to day, but the few times someone initiated the conversation anew it was always him.

We had a great time doing activities together, had in-depth conversations, found some values in common. We both agreed we like taking things slow. I can tell that he is empathetic and thoughtful and a natural leader. When he left, he told me he would text me when he reached home, I thanked him for making the trip, and we hugged goodbye. He did text me when he got home, said he had fun, I said I had fun too, and told him to enjoy his time with family. I haven't heard from him since and that was a few days ago.

Neither of us alluded to seeing each other again, but I would really like to. I see a few possibilities - 1. he's not interested. 2. he is interested but just busy (with family visiting, prepping for more family coming this week) and not thinking about me. 3. he is looking for a signal from me/wanting me to initiate. I'm not sure if my interest was apparent - I'm sweet and fun to be around but pretty reserved about showing my feelings. If this does continue I assume the ball is in my court to visit him next, but I would like to be invited.

This is the first man in a long time that I genuinely see potential with, and I'm afraid of doing the wrong thing - either being pushy by texting when he clearly has a lot going on this week, or by not texting/not showing further interest if that is what he wants to see.

What do you suggest I do?

Update: you all were right, I reached out casually and he let me know he did not feel a romantic spark. I feel really disappointed. I've experienced multiple romantic rejections recently and my self-confidence has taken a hit.
