Former relationship and sexual therapist here. (Disclaimer: Not your therapist, haven't practiced in 15 years and my post graduation practice experience is limited)
First and foremost: My view is very "Western" - a central European one to be more exact. I intentionally do not try to include cultural differences here as I simply can't get that right & would find it offensive to only get that "50% correct".
Just a few thoughts:
Does that mean I recommend you go out there and sleep with him or someone else right away? No! (Triple underlined and in thick letters!) But there is a big range of things between "not doing anything " and "full on PIV sex" and I will repeat what I always told my clients: "If everyone is consenting, an adult, not intoxicated, in a safe place and it feels right: Keep society and social norms outside your bedroom." But please, please don't marry someone before you had at least some sexual experience with this person.
So would he like to sleep with you? I would say: Yes. And that's not a bad thing: I went on countless dates in my time with both man and woman. And not once did I not want to sleep with the person I was in a date. But was that a condition right away? No. But sexuality and bodily attraction is part of a relationship and of course it plays a part whose interesting and whose not.
So. What's my advice in the end? Get a second date. See where that's going. Be open. Try to think out of the box. You have literally nothing to lose. If it ends up leading nowhere: Well,you had a few nice hours, didn't you? Isn't that a good thing? If it becomes the grand love that one of you will topple his life plans for? Well cool. And if it ends right away? Well,bugger,but no harm was done.
