Does this count as a one-night-stand? Bad Texter and No Dates & met on Tinder

New Years Eve, i decided to take charge of my life and become someone who takes more risks in her dating and relationships. . . So i downloaded a Tinder. I know, maybe not the best move, but I was curious about it.
Two days later, one of my matches messages me and we have an actual conversation. He even continues talking after i tell him that I’m not a random hookup/casual sex kinda girl. When i ask him why he’s on Tinder, he tells me that he just moved to L.A., didn’t know anyone, and was bad at making connections with people. He also told me that to be honest, if casual sex or a relationship was to emerge from Tinder, he wouldn’t complain.
After a little more chatting, he asks me if it would be weird if he invited me over for an “impromtu wine tasting.” I told him that it wouldn’t be “weird,” per se, but it did sound like he wanted to invite me over, get me drunk, bang, and maybe murder me; I dunno.
So finally, after asking him some screening questions (is he an axe murderer = no. Will other people be there? = yes.) i ask him if he’s invited other girls from Tinder to his house, and he says no, because “he doesn’t invite girls over who he’s trying to sleep with,” since he’s weird about that. He also tells me that if he was just after sex, that “sex isn’t so hard to find that i need to get a girl drunk to get it.” Which, I found to be a very honest and valid point.
So fast forward, i’m in his car, and this dude is EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE, and somehow nothing is weird between us regardless of having met on TINDER, and we IMMEDIATELY hit it off.
He claims to be honest sometimes to the point of bluntness, and i tell him that it is really difficult to offend me.
We go back to his place, chat with his roommate for half an hour, and then we sit down in the kitchen and he actually gives me the whole low-down on wines. Like, in depth, and in between, we’re talking about ourselves, and psychology, and race and religion and everything (I’m a black woman, he’s a white guy. I’m 20, he’s 26).
Practically most if not the entire time, we’re joking and laughing with each other, smiling, and having a blast. He makes allusions to seeing me in the future and doing certain activities with me when we see each other again. He compliments my eyes and tries to play with my hair, and he looked like he had gotten embarrassed when his roommate came in to tell us that she was going to sleep.
Now we’re both a little drunk, and we decide to make a pizza, during which is when a LOT of flirting via playful touching and banter and joking happens. Finally, after a while he kisses me. . . A LOT.
It gets a little passionate and intense, and the guy begins to try and put his hands up my dress. So i pull away a bit and we laugh, and i notice the time, and so i try to make some moves to leave. He makes a face and doesn’t want me to go, which is when i remind him that I’m not going to sleep with him tonight. He tells me that he knows, and he respects my decision even though he wouldn’t mind if that happened between us. He said that he was just enjoying spending time with me.
Fast forward even more, we’re drunk, and it’s close to three am, and i end up fooling around with him some more, but still no sex, and i attempt to leave AGAIN, yet he’s reluctant to let me go. Somehow i FALL ASLEEP, and wake up to a text at 7:00 am.
We both wake up, fool around a little more (still no sex), and i ask him to drive me back home instead of me taking a Lyft cab, and he complies with little resistance.

So now, I’m in his car the next day after i first meet him, feeling super insecure, and i ask “So, how is this supposed to work? Am i gonna go home and then never see/hear from you again or. . .?”
And at first he answers jokingly, but takes my hand in his while he drives me home. We spend the car ride chatting and laughing and joking some more, but my insecurities come back, and i ask him the same question because he never really answered it.
He says “You know, you asked me that question already. Do guys do that to you often?” And I responded “Well I just don’t know because I’ve never done this kind of thing before!”
And so he laughs and tells me that most guys would have bailed after the whole fooling around and no sex thing if that was all they wanted. So i left it at that and we enjoyed the rest of the car ride together.
We get to my house, and we sit outside in his car, and we talk for like, half an hour. During that conversation with me, he kisses me three times, and puts his forehead against mine and keeps it there for a few moments EACH TIME HE DOES IT.
The last time he did the whole kiss-forehead-touching thing to me, I sighed and told him “okay. I like you.”
When i left his car, he didn’t say anything about seeing me next time or whatever, but i ignored it because of the awesomeness of the kind-of-date that we’d had.

HERE IS WHERE I AM CONFUSED.

1.) Hours after he dropped me off, he unmatched me from Tinder.

2.) he texted me two days later while i was at work, telling me that he’d been sick, but still asked me how i was doing. We had a brief convo, but then I had to go because my break was over, but i told him i’d text him after i got out.
I texted him like i said i would, but he never responded.

3.) two days later, he replies to the last text i sent him, and when i replied to that, he didn’t respond.

4.) I initiate a text two days after that, and he responds quickly, and he tells me he still feels sick, and we have a slightly longer but still not long convo, before he drops off the face of the Earth again, and I KNOW i hadn’t said anything weird.

5.) It’s going on four days since we’ve contacted one another.

So guys, I probably do sound like a crazy person, but i’ve just been hurt a lot in the past, and i’d much rather cut my losses early on, than invest in something emotionally if the guy isn’t interested in me back, or is pulling away, or whatever.
The reason why i gave a lot of details, is that anyone reading knows the whole picture.
I don’t know if he’s just a bad texter, or is still sick, or has lost interest, but it’s terrible, because our first meeting was so much fun, and i thought we clicked so well, and i was so optimistic about it because it honestly seemed too good to be true. I just want to know if it was a one-time thing or if there’s something there.
Basically, I’m at a loss on how to proceed. Do I call him or initiate a text again? Do I wait for him contact me since he left the conversation, first? Do I try and forget about the whole thing and pretend like it wasn’t the best date I’d ever had with someone who i thought i could ACTUALLY connect with on all possible levels?
Please, someone shed some light on my situation.
