Let's talk about first encounters...too early to judge?

I am at point in my life where I am fully happy with myself emotionally, physically, and mentally. Even though I have worked on my own self-worth by focusing on intrinsic value, it doesn't mean I want to continue to grow in this direction by myself. I would love to share experiences of the world with a partner who is open to sharing theirs with me.

I am noticing as I grow in this area, the people I am attracted to, and who are attracted to me, are Virgos and Aquarius men haha. I have sun/moon in leo, and everything else is pretty much a placement in Virgo.

Anyway, time for the specific context: I took an interest in a Virgo guy at a friend's party mainly due to his taste and passion for music. I was really impressed in his knowledge and musical skills. I wanted to see if we would "click" or bond further, so I invited him out to live music show of local bands. He was open to that. Our conversations were based on music (of course) at the show, and him later teaching me how to play pool at different bar location...I thought this was strategically planned 😉 He later kissed me at the end of the night, which I wasn't expecting --- this came right after a conversation over a metal band. I later messaged him, saying that I enjoyed the kiss, but that I don't usually kiss someone I just met. He messaged me stating a similar response, but he was caught off guard by my taste in a metal band lol! (Talk about a turn on??)

I invited him out again to go see a concert. I didn't think he wanted to go with me, because I didn't really hear much from him after the first night out, but to my surprise he came. He was sweet and gentlemen like (i.e. buying my drink, holding my jacket, and checking in on me and such). He snagged another kiss with me that night, a way more passionate one than first. But alas, I didn't hear much from him. I would message him here and there to meet up at other music venues that we both were going to, and he would respond. Yet, somehow we always miss each other. Then other times I would invite him out and he would be unavailable for whatever reason. I am no stranger in being rejected, so I went onto my own humble way and tried to make this humorous. I would imagine titles for this silly situation: "The music man who steals hearts and concert tickets." --- (that wasn't a good title).

I thought he was a lost cause. So, I continued doing my own thing and enjoy musical shows. Then, unexpectedly, he was at the same show one night...playing as the drummer for a band. So instantly, I got nervous. I had no idea he was going to be there. It was a small venue. He was bound to recognize my face, and he did when his band was done playing. He said hello to me and was kind, sweet, and charming. He introduced me to his bandmates, and wanted to catch up outside. No kiss this night.

We would message here and there since that time. Mostly me initiating the conversation. Recently he has been more responsive to my messages. So I asked if he wanted to get a beer together and he said yes. We talked about all different topics ranging from personal childhood memories, politics, racism, our careers, (and of course music). At the end of the night, he asked if I would like go to his apartment. I said sure. He was very much so a gentlemen, and continued to talk to me. He acknowledged how it may look like he is inviting me over and wanting to have sex, but that isn't what he wanted. He stated that he finds men who do that to be very selfish. He told me that he thinks I am a very attractive, intelligent, woman. He asked this time, if he could kiss me. This led to passionate kisses, and cuddling. He asked if I wanted stay the night. I said that it would be nice if he was okay with it. The next morning he took me out to get coffee, where we spoke more, and then dropped me off my place. Then we hugged goodbye. He said we should go to a musical concert again, when he gets back from his business trip.

Now here I am a week later and unsure what I should do next? Or do I not do anything? I don't mind one time things, because I am unsure myself if this person is who I see myself growing with, but he doesn't seem like a bad match either 🙂

What are your thoughts on next steps? What should I be looking for on his part?

TBH...I would think of so many scenarios in my head and then do nothing, if not encouraged by the guy's actions. So nothing, would ever happen...
