First Meetup with Ex since Long time of NC

Hello all,

My ex and I broke it off about a year and a half ago. The antecedent for the break up was just poor communication (on both of our parts) and I ended it poorly via a text.

We did not speak for 1.5 years and recently after NC I reached out to him to see how he was. We exchanged texts here and there for a couple of weeks. He always seemed engaged and positive and would respond and even initiate messages. After 2 weeks he asked to meet and “catch up”.

We organized a casual meeting at a bar/restaurant near me two days ago. I was so nervous going in!

We hugged hello and while it started out a bit awkward we eventually warmed up. There were many signs during the night that seemed positive. He made lots of eye contact and held his gaze a couple of times. There was physical contact (touching shoulder while speaking), there was mirroring of body language etc. He even made a joke and inserted a comment in it that referred to our meetup as a “date”

So now we are at the end of the “date” and he walks me to my car. He goes in for a hug and I turn my head to him and we kiss. I don’t know who you would say actually initiated but it happened and it WAS NOT a kiss you give a friend.

At the end he texted on the way home and said “Nice seeing you”. I responded similarly with “Nice seeing you too! Drive safely :)”

That was 2 days ago and have not heard from him since. I feel that I should now leave the ball in his court and allow him to follow up. I have spoken to friends and I get some that say text and others that say don’t.

I’m not sure what to do here?? Did I mess this up and misread his signals?!
