So I was asked out on a date with this boy from my hostel. He is a great guy to hang around. We have known each other for 2 weeks or so and we talk a lot. We had a great evening, grabbed some drinks (we were not drunk) and we came home and he kissed me. So we made out for a while ( mind you, we did not go anywhere below the waist) till he insisted on having sex. I was taken aback and so I refused. I said it’s not what I do on first dates. So he was a little shocked and he asked why have I been making out then. Well, for me, it’s not necessary for a making out session to end in sex. Anyway, he showered me with compliments and even stated how he had not asked anyone out on a date for 2 years and was really looking forward to this date. Frankly I still did not think sex was necessary. So we were lying on our bed and he asks if that’s my final decision. I say that I will not have sex. You know what he does? He gets up and walks out of the room! It was our first date and I had no idea that he was attracted to me. Honestly I didn’t even realize it was a date till much later. Anyway the next 2 days he naturally was a little awkward. But we were slowly beginning to talk normally again. But I still had questions at the back of mind so on the 3rd day after the date I insisted we talk. He said he has nothing to talk about. But I said I did.
So the next day he came over and I asked him why he walked out on me? Was it my refusal to sex? He said it was not that, it’s just that he was surprised that I took it to the next base after kissing and it’s weird that I would take the trouble to do that especially since I am not sleeping with him. I told him, making out and sex always have a line in between, no matter what. This boy is younger than me so he said he was upset cause I mentioned the age gap. I thought he had a point so I apologized. So I asked him what he feels for me, and what was he thinking before the date ( cause he mentioned being very attracted to me). He said he did not know how to answer that. All right, I asked if things are fine now between us? Do I have to think twice to knock on his door and ask him for company? He said…maybe immediately it’s a little difficult for him. He needs time. He insisted we sleep it off and move on. Talk normally. Take some time. I told him that I would like things to get better with time. He insisted that he had a great time that evening except the end of course. So now we have been talking again, he starts conversations. It’s a lot better. It’s going to be a week since the date this Friday. We don’t talk about the first date.
There are two possibilities:
1- he thinks I have been a colossal waste of time and effort
2- he still thinks about me
I wonder which of the above is true? For him was it just a one night stand gone wrong or was he thinking of taking it forward?
Did I go wrong somewhere, because I feel sex is nonsense unless both the partners are comfortable…What do I do next? I do like being around him, I am attracted to him. I was thinking maybe some time mid week I will try to suggest to him that we hang out together, maybe catch a movie or grab some beer over the weekend? Will it be the right thing to do? Or will that make me easy? I don’t want anything other than to chill out with him, get to know him and see where it heads. I would like to give this a try. So what so I do? Or do I wait for him to make a move? HELP!! I don’t know what to do!

He was looking for sex on the first date and got mad because you said no, so you know what he was after. Why are you willing to put yourself in that position again?
You can always tell him you'd like to get to know him better but there will be no making out and see what he says. He may not be interested in that.
Me, I'd leave him alone.
