Question for Leo men

Roar! Hello to the lions! I am a Sagittarius female with a Libra moon, and a strong sexy Leo male has come back into my life, and I love it. We were friends through out high school, slept together once during that time (10 years ago), but after that we lost touch, I went to college he moved to the city. He was in an 8 year relationship, and I had a few very serious relationships myself. We recently crossed paths a few weeks ago, it was awkward, I can't read him and it drives me crazy. He is so silent and carries himself with this confidence that forces me to fill in the blanks. I pride myself on my ability to read people and read situations, so for me, his elusiveness is something more and it drives me wild about him. I love a challenge.

However, after the night that we crossed paths at a local bar, he instantly found me on Facebook, friended me, and messaged me. To back up a bit, I was with a male friend, I have a lot of purely platonic male friends, and the first words out of my Leo's mouth was "is this your boyfriend" ha! Far from it. We all laughed about it, then he stayed at the bar with his friends, and I went to have dinner at a table. When I woke up the next morning there was a Facebook friend request and a message from my Leo waiting for me.

We talked through out the next day. Both expressed interest in one another, I told him how much of a crush I've always had on him and how I've still thought about him, he expressed how I am still beautiful and someone he finds very attractive. He called me every night, and was very persistent that week, and we went out Friday.

It was amazing, we talked about our past, what we had been doing since we last saw each other, relationships, family, goals, the future. It was comforting to know that he has been through similar situations in relationships, and also has a brother who is struggling like I do. We spent the entire night talking, and we found that we have so much in common, past relationships, family successes and problems, heritage, friends, goals, everything. I was more open with telling him how much all of this meant to me. He was more reserved, however, just by knowing him, I know how much he loves, cares for, and protects his family and friends, they mean everything to him, and to have that connection, I think, it means more to him than he said out loud. He is a man of very few words! Which leads me to babble a bit 🙄
At the end of the night we were making out like high school kids again, I told him I liked kissing him, and he said he did too. He was very persistent and although I tried to resist him, I couldn't. Despite everything, we slept together, and cuddled all night. The next morning I don't know if I was awkward or if he was, or if we both were. And now it seems like I'm the one who is initiating all of our interactions. He always responds, but not right away, it's always through text and he hasn't called. I texted thanking him for a great night, saying I enjoyed catching

Up and that I hope he had fun too. He responded saying he had fun and "let's keep in touch" with a wink face? I didn't know what to say, so I said "I'm sure we will" with a wink face. Since then I've been the one initiating the conversations. Should I sit back and wait, or should I keep initiating? I love a chase and a challenge, and he is so silent and hard to read. I'm over thinking it I'm sure. He was just so persistent in the beginning and now it feels I'm the one keeping the "lets keep in touch" going...? I've never been with a Leo male, any advice is much appreciated!!!
