Does he think im not interested or its a manipulative tactic?

So, the guy was texting and pursuing me for around half a year, then we met. and he on a date asked to meet tomorrow for a second date, i said maybe. and thought he would initiate futher. but he didn't. i vaguelly responded like will see. the we stopped comunicating for a month, liked each other stories, then he texted again and asked to meet. i wasn't eager as well cause a lot of time has passed.
