proper ways to show interest

I recently went on a first meeting with a gentleman, in which I thought went well. Conversation and company was good.

After meeting I texted him and said thank you and that I enjoyed meeting him. 12 hours later he said the same to me.

I then proceeded to let him know that I would enjoy the opportunity to get to do it again. NO Answer. I didn't mean to put him on the spot. Should I just let it go?

I thought about messaging (email) him to let him know that I was not trying to put him on the spot to ask me out again, it was simply to let him know that I would enjoy the opportunity to do it again.. I thought the conversation and the company went well.

I realize we have preconceived notions about what we want or don't want in a mate. But, what about friends or making new friendships? I think we are to quick to "judge" based on CHEMISTRY. PLEASE HELP!! I hate the ignoring and pretending that it never happened.
