Hi,
So, about a week ago, I setup a profile with yahoo personals. I live in a mostly rural area, so I was surprised to get an email from this guy who lives in the same town. We started IMing each other, and really got to know each other well.
Last night, we met up at a bar/rest for dinner, and then went to a movie. We really were talking alot, about everything possible, but at the movie, he was totally focused on the movie and had his arms crossed, and his body language was kind of "don't get too close". After, we went back to my place (with roomates) to watch TV in the common living room. He sat in a chair next to me, not on the couch with me, didn't try to hold hands at all or anything.
After the program was over, we again talked for about another hour and a half. We showed each other some pictures of trips we'd been on, and stuff like that.
At the end, we kind of made off as "yeah, we should do this again", but didn't make any plans. I was dissapointed that when he left, I didn't get a hug or kiss or anything.
What do you all think of this? I sent him an email this morning, thanking him for a great night, and saying I'd love to get together again, and I kept it to about four lines, basically short and sweet. So the ball is kind of in his court. Also, we have been talking every night when he would get off of work, and I'm pretty sure we'll be talking again tonight.
What should I expect to come out of this? I'm not trying to be too agressive or anything, since this is my first relationship in a while, but I was just wondering.
Thanks :)

This is your first date right? It is easy to be "intimate" online and on the phone. In person is a different story. I realize that it is better for me to not be too physically friendly when I get to know someone, i.e. take it slow. As I guy, I like to be affectionate but have had the experience that women take it differently so I am cautious now.
