We have been moving very slow. Both of us are new to long term relationships and we are both in our 30's. I haven't been in a long term relationship in ten years and he's never been in one. Both of us haven't dated much either. He's a bit shy and reserved but on our last date he wanted to give me "the kiss" after our date but I didn't let myself get fully into it because I got a little confused by some of his actions that night and pulled away a little. I think I may have confused him by reacting to the kiss.
It's been a sweet relationship. So far, at the end of our dates we kiss each other on the cheeks or a peck on the lips and/or a hug. I have to admit that I have been the one holding back on the physical part. He has made advances at the end of our dates but I get nervous and hold back at times. I would like to move our relationship to the next level(not sex) and see if this is going to be a long term serious relationship. We have been seeing each other twice a week since our first month dating and it has been very nice.
Now I am just waiting here for a response from him. I don't know what he thinks now. Should I call him and talk to him about it or should I just leave it alone and wait for him to call and bring it up? I wrote him yesterday and our last date was the night before. I don't know if I am making a big deal about this. I really like this guy. I like him more as I am get to know him better.
Please advise and thanks in advance for reading and your insights.

When he does call, you can ask him if he got your email, but I wouldn't push for anything more.
I hope that it works out for you. It's always hard to open up about our desires for fear that the other person won't accept them. But you have to take the first step somehow.
