I've had my first kiss with P. and ...

HI!
I absolutely need a wise advice from you.
I am from South Italy and I've just spent three days in Barcelona with my best friend, Maria. Yesterday we were partying and Maria randomly knew P, a gay Catalan person, and introduced him to me (I'm gay as well). Aand we went for a walk, talked about our life projects and other serious topics, knew more deeply each other and ... WE KISSED!

After sitting on the pavement we looked both straight in our eyes and he asked me: "Have you ever kissed somebody?". I denied, and then he asked: "do you want to?". And gosh, I went with the flow and even if I felt so inexperienced I had such a memorable and magic first kiss. Time seemed to stop and ... well, amazing. We kissed for a long time. After we stopped we returned talking about random things and then came back to the party, where we rejoined our group of friends. He even said I kiss well for a first timer!
When he was leaving I asked him his phone number, and then he said: "urmmm, give me yours!". He added me on his contact list. Everbody was really happy we clicked and there was even a girl who said we were a perfect match.

I'm perplexed because I'm afraid that he just wanted to kiss me randomly without the desire of establishing a proper relationship/friendship. - But then - I think - why did he insist so much in taking the walk and meeting me, and why did that girl say we were perfect for each other if it was supposed to be a casual hook up?-. I'd love to contact him and to be his friend: needless to say I'd adore to be his boyfriend, but we live in different states and I think it's sufficient to be friends and to let things potentially evolve. How should I handle this situation? I thought of getting his number with the help of Maria and to take the initiative personally by contacting him, but I don't want to sound needy or desperate. I don't even know if actually thinking of creating some kind of rapport with him is ridiculous ... I just feel so confused, happy to have met him and afraid he will disappear from my life (after all it was my very first kiss)! Maybe P. doesn't care of me at all and just wanted to have my phone number, without giving me his phone number, just to politely reject me ...

That being said, I'd love to hear some suggestions! What do you think of my plan of getting P.'s number with the help of Maria and contacting him? Please let me know! Thanks xoxo

 

Oooh thank you starlightonmars for the prompt reply!
Yes I feel melancholic because I'd have loved to know him better (I already came back) but I guess you're right
I'll wait for his potential response and in the (likely) event it will never arrive I will consider that event as it happened, ie as a nice kiss
☺️

 

Thanks, I'm sure it will!
At the very end I decided that I will send him a message where I'll thank him for the night and wish him good luck with his studies
So at least we can say goodbye
Do you think it's a good plan?

 

he didn't even bother replying
I'm feeling so sad

 

sure I will!
I now it was just an infatuation and not love, but still I feel so brutally sad because of all of this.
I wished he didn't disappear like that.
That being said, life goes on and I'm sure mine will be amazing (hopefully).
Cheers!

 

HI!
after six days he texted me apologizing for answering so late because "he was busy" and we started talking about random shit
I'm bringing the topic alive again because from one side he says "it was a magical night" and "he's really interested in talking with me" and things, but from the other he takes ages to respond
I'm confused because if he wanted he could have ignored me right away instead of ... uhm acting like this. He's nice and everything but he's leaving me perplexed
What do you think is going on?
