The next day we both had stuff to do so went our separate ways, but he kissed me goodbye.
I havent spoken to him since apart from I texted him yesterday and he replied but that was it.
I would kind of like something more to happen but can't help but think that it was just a one night stand in the end. Help?
It's possible that he viewed this as a 'friends with benefits' kind of deal. The fact that he showed some affection the following morning... as opposed to sneaking out ASAP, could support this idea. He did reply to your text as well... so he's not cutting you off cold. I would wait to see if he responds... and if he does, you can tell him that though you had fun, you feel that you want something more - don't be surprised if he doesn't... especially if he thought this was a FWB kind of thing. If he doesn't respond then one of two things happened... one he forgot to respond (possible and not necessarily a sign of disrespect... eh... not harshly anyway) or he chose purposefully to not respond (in that he feels it is necessary to 'move on' and let you do the same).
In either case... it would be very difficult to have this develop into something more romantically inclined.
