I hate to say I think I already know the answer to my own question but I guess I am just looking for further opinions, comments and banter on the subject.

I met a very nice gentleman about two weeks ago at a concert through some mutual acquaintances. We immediately hit it off and chatted most of the night when we were not listening to the music. At the end of the night he automatically walked be back to my car that was a ways from the theater, I then in return drove him back to his own vehicle so he would not have to walk back alone (admit so we could talk some more too) :)

Anyhow, on the drive back he asked if I would be interested in having dinner with his good friends (a couple) later that next week so I could meet some more people in the area (I just recently moved into town). He then said I didn't have to go if I felt pressured. I agreed it would be fun, he shook my hand and we parted ways. A day later he called to tell me dinner would be Friday at their house, I asked if I could bring anything and he said no as he would pick up wine and bread. Friday came and we met the house, had a fantastic time with his friends and then parted ways again this time with a hug before going into our own vehicles. He was going to be gone that weekend, but wanted to hang out the next week before leaving to go home for the holidays. Time and work got the best of him and we ended up not being able to hang out the day we planned to go and he was leaving the next day.

He has since emailed me a few days after he left and then called that evening to wish me a happy holiday. I emailed him the other day to see how Christmas was and just say hello, he responded with a quick email telling me things were good and hopefully we could go hiking when he returns next weekend. Wasn't really a question though just a statement then a ...

So I am enjoying this, I would be too freaked out if things moved quickly. I guess my question is should I email him back again or just give some days and see if he calls me again before heading home or around New Years? What would you? I just like to see other people's perspectives.

Thanks!

I love talking about this stuff - reminds me of when I lived with 3 girls, and we'd gossip over every detail of guys we'd met.

Being VERY rusty at dating, and trying not to be too suspicious, did he say anything about himself in the conversation?

As I said, go hiking, but be cautious.
