Is he stringing me along?

I went out with this guy two times. The first time was good and the second time was ok but he tried to kiss me (I think) and I got shy and gave him the cheek. In retrospect I see how he may have felt a little dorky. So, I sent him an email and asked him if he wanted to get together. This was the beginning of last week. He said he would definately be up for doing something but he was sick. I told him I hoped he felt better but he was still not feeling well by the end of the week but he still did not ask me out for this week. I emailed him and told him I hoped he felt better and was rather brief. This whole thing sounds fishy to me as if he is stringing me along. His emails are always very nice and considerate but he did not make concrete plans, just said that he would be "up for something if he felt better". I haven't emailed him since friday because some people are of the opinion I should just play it "cool" but I have not asked him how he feels which may make come off as just being plain "cold". Others are of the opinion that it is up to him since I kind of put the ball in his court but he may think I am mad at him (which I am not. I just don;t know him well enough to know if he is just stringing me along) So do I email and ask how he is and see if he wants to do something or just let him email me when he is ready?
