Initiated a kiss and hasn’t messaged me since?

Hello, I hope everyone’s day is going well. Well, the other night I agreed to meet up with a guy who I’ve been having casual and vulnerable conversations with back and forth through phone. We always seemed to get along and never really discussed anything romantic between one another but he would consistently ask to hang out with me. I usually declined but this time I agreed since he was going to be in the neighborhood and I wasn’t busy. When we met, I was shy of course but it wasn’t awkward. We got along, conversations flowed naturally, we laughed, listened to music. He told me about trips he’s been on, he told me about his last relationship and opened up to me. A few times he’d stop and stare at me as if I was the only thing in the world and it was really sweet, he initiated touch a lot, from grabbing and caressing my hand to putting his fingers in my hair, massaging my shoulders, putting his arm around me and ultimately kissing me more than once. I hadn't realized how much I liked him until the kiss of course which is why now everything is confusing because after that happened we decided to get food. He paid for the dinner and dropped me off back at my place, once again gave me a kiss and said we’d hear from one another. At one point he even mentioned something about a” next time we hang out” but ever since this date or whatever you’d call it, he hasn’t spoke to me. He watches my Instagram stories but doesn’t message me, he hasn’t liked my pictures on instagram either. (I know that sounds silly but it’s usually things he does which is why I’m saying it’s weird that he hasn’t since we met.) I’m just confused, I want to message him but I don’t want to come off needy and desperate. I’m just confused on what his behavior entailed if it entailed anything at all. He posted maybe three things on his Insta since, but he hasn’t really been active much either other than watching my stories. I’m confused, what do you think?
