No physical contact on 1 or 2nd dates?

Anonymous

I've been on two dates with a guy in the space of two weeks. We had a good time, and I think he did too. We went bowling/golfing and had dinner both times.

On the first date, I went to his city, and he came to mine for the second date yesterday. However, there has been no physical contact or flirting on either of the dates.

I don't want to just hook up instantly, but I'm wondering if this is normal after two dates.

During our date last night, we talked about shopping, and I complimented him by saying he always looks good, but I didn't receive any compliments back.

He also remembered stuff I'd said on the first date, so if he wasn't that interested, he wouldn't have remembered.

When he parked at my house, I drove us back to mine, and as we were getting out of my car, he opened his arms. I thought it was for a hug, which I did, but now I keep thinking did he wanted to kiss me goodnight as I've just runnied it by hugging.

After I got inside, I texted him and said thanks for a great time and hoped he got home okay. He texted back later and said thanks, it was a good evening.

I'm not the most confident person, and I don't think he is either, so that doesn't help. Should I leave the ball in his court and wait for him to text, or should I text him after work and ask how his leftovers were from our dinner last night?
