First date question?

So I went on a date a few days ago, it went well, we went for a coffee for nearly 2 hours. We got on well and I quite like him. At the end, he was asking a very direct question. He said what kind of relationship we would have and he said he would suggest we would be friends and get to know each other but he just got out from a 2 years relationship and he still keeps in touch with his ex as friend. I agreed. Then after the meeting within 30 mins he texted me asking me whether he was an awful or nice surprise. I replied it was nice and asking how he felt. He said: ‘very excited and I loved your top’.... I said thanks… then nothing heard from him…

I’m very confused about his response… what does that mean???? Should I text him or should I wait for him to pursue?
