Just not that into me?

Please dating gurus clear something up for me?
I met a guy through mutual friends on New Year's Eve. He was surgically attached to me all night, asking tons of questions, obviously interested (confirmed to me by our mutual friend.) We then messaged and arranged to meet up in a couple of days. Clicked really well again, spent a few hours talking and having a coffee. He texted that night to say he'd had a lovely time and to set up the next date- we confirmed a time and plan that evening. Texted every day/every other day just casually the rest of that week, met as planned at the weekend and had lunch, went for a walk, film, then just spent hours longer talking and I ended up staying over. No regrets about that- the connection was great and we had sex, slept together etc. Work the next day but texted and he arranged the next date- dinner and cinema- for a few days later as I was going away this weekend and he wanted to see me. I thought that went well too, and he texted when he got home to say he had a lovely time, hoped I had a good weekend trip, and "let's do something next weekend" (so not setting an exact plan or day but showing he wanted to see me again.) I agreed, we texted good night. And since then- nothing. That was Thursday. Now it's Sunday. I'm away but have been on whatsapp and Facebook and I can see he has too. I'm pretty sure he knows I like him too and wouldn't be averse to hearing from him. He liked something I put on fb yesterday but it's been about 3 days no contact otherwise. Longer than previously. And I can't help thinking the "let's do something next weekend" may have been a bit noncommittal from him given he previously set up a proper date and day?
I know I only met him just over 2 weeks ago and trying very much to stay grounded about this. We really click, he said so too-- we've had sex, he's been interested and so have I.
But does this seem like a brush off now? I've been out of the dating game a good while. My ex was EA and awful and my self esteem isn't great but working on it. I don't know what is normal in terms of contact between (good) dates after 2 weeks and 3/4 dates (and sex). Any help or insight much appreciated to stop me worrying!

Quick update: he texted first thing this morning as he thought I was back-- asking lots of qs about how my weekend had been, and filling me in on his. All good Smile

Oh, that's lovely! I bet he's been itching to text all weekend (and might even be pretending to have misunderstood when you were home ...)

Phew. I was going to add I've never texted early datees on their trips away

This was painful to read! If you were worrying so much a quick text asking how he was doing wouldn't of hurt. You have only known each other two weeks. Pleased he text you though.

If I had just met someone be they went away for the weekend I wouldn't contact them either. Now it's Monday text to say hello and suggest a day to meet up now you're back.

Oh good. Now give the boy some encouragement !! Grin

and for the love of God, OP, do not over-think like this next time! Being too insecure can sabotage a potentially good relationship.
