Am I overthinking this?

I (23F) went on a first date Saturday with a guy I met on Hinge and I genuinely thought it went really well. We did mini golf + food/ice cream and spent around 2 hours together. He was engaged the whole time, texted me when he got home, said he had a lot of fun and hoped we could do it again soon.
I responded saying I had a really great time too.
The thing throwing me off is that it’s now Monday and he still hasn’t replied again or tried to continue the conversation at all. Before the date, he was pretty consistent with texting.
He also mentioned during the date that he had a couple busy weekends coming up (camping/family stuff) but said he’d still be down to do something during the week.
I know people have different texting habits, and I’m trying not to overreact, but I also feel like if someone is genuinely excited about you they usually don’t go quiet for almost 2 days right after a good first date.

Would you interpret this as:
normal/slower pacing after a first date
interested but casual
polite post-date behavior before fading out

Trying to calibrate my expectations realistically and not double text unnecessarily lol. How does one not overthink this?
