Would a guy text after a date just to be polite?

So, yesterday I've been on a first date with a guy I had matched with on Bumble; we had been texting for about 10 days.

I (28 F) was the one who suggested that we go on a date in the first place, and he seemed enthusiastic about the idea. I think the date went really well! Definitely the best one I had in a while and I felt like he liked it too. At the end of the date, the goodbye was a bit awkward (which I think it's quite normal sometimes) and he ended up hugging me.

It's been 24hrs and I haven't heard anything from him. Normally I wouldn't mind being the first one to text, but this time around I felt like I've done a lot of "first moves" with him and I'd like to give him the chance of showing that he's interested as well. In nearly all the dates I've been on so far, the guy would text me at least the standard "thank you" message the same evening .. and that's what I thought was the norm. Should I take the fact that he hasn't texted me anything as a sign that he is not interested ? How much do you wait before texting someone after a date?

I feel like I'm overthinking this, but I just really liked the guy!

Thanks
