Rules about calling?

So if any of you remember my dilema earlier this week, I did in fact break it off with the first guy I was seeing. My (old) ex and I ended up on a date on Wednesday. Movies, dinner (both paid by him) then a drink (paid by me). We were both pretty nervous, etc. When he drove me home, we sat in the driveway and talked a bit, and both basically said that alot of the old feelings had come back, etc. I told him it was probably why I was so quiet most of the night - I didn't know where we stood. So he said "If it makes things easier for you, I don't think we need to rush into anything. I'm not going anywhere". We hugged goodnight, and he went home. No kiss, no hand holding or anything during the date. Some good flirting going on and at the bar we were doing alot of "flirtatious touches" back and forth. So now my question. I haven't called or text him since that night. Tonight is Friday (obviously) and would it be too forward of me or coming on too strong if I text him and asked what his plans were for tonight? I don't want to come across pushy or clingy.

I wouldn't personally, not because I'm afraid of looking clingy or needy, but because I would want to know what his interest level in me was...and the best way to gauge that is by whether he calls you and asks you out again.

The thing is that he is shy. And, he had this whole discussion with me about how some girl broke up with him because he was calling too much, so he said he tries really hard now to make sure he doesn't call for a few days, etc. So I don't know if he's not calling because of lack of .... well nevermind! He just text messaged me saying he's been directing traffic all day so he wasn't able to call me earlier. Guess he's interested :) hehe
