How can i tell if this grown man likes me or has a crush on me? iin?

I am 28 years old now.
I have been out of the dating scene for about two years or a little more now.
I am a single mom with a 4 year old daughter.
which is besides the point....
I am totally "dumb" and oblivious to when any male has a crush on me or likes me.
I guess I have pts (post traumatic disorder) from having been physically, verbally abused by my x. it is pretty severe condition that I have to the point where I genuenly question myself "What would a successful man with a Phd or Master's degree want with me?" or "I am not skinny enough or good looking enough for him."

I met this man on the weekend. His first name is Jeff. (I met him in San Diego through my uncle) and he is 39 years old.
Jeff is really smart, nice, handsome(OH SO HANDSOME!), tall, muscular, successful, owns a huge house down the street from the beach, and he gets paid to go to school to get his Phd. he already has his Masters.

Saturday night I went out with Jeff and some friends, and my drunk uncle. We partied at some bar. I didn't talk to Jeff for maybe two hours after meeting him. At first I just always have this I hate you already attitude because I have a deep trust issue with trusting people because of ...well a lot of person reasons and the way i grew up, and the abuse my x put me through. It's a bunch of reasons why i am the way I am.

To make this short and to the point, we ended up talking a little at the bar. Having a beer together, then going to my uncle's house, and partying there. By partying I mean dancing with friends to crazy daft punk, Mia music and etc.
i did not dance at the bar or club because I tend to get really shy and I hide myself a lot, though i am really fun person when you get to know me.
When we got to my uncle's I just let lose, by putting my hair down, changing into short pants, and dancing like a maniac throwing my hair around in the air. I guess this totally got Jeff's attention, and he danced with me and talk for to me all night. Later in the evening we sat on the couch to rest, and he put his hand on my leg. Then he put his arm around me. He left around 5am, but was going to spend the night with me but my uncle ruined my chance with having a night with Jeff because my uncle was so drunk and wouldn't even get me a damn comforter for the pull out bed, so Jeff was like "Ya not sleeping here unless you got a comforter" I was like "FK!" in my head of course to myself.
I was SOOO MAD at my uncle!
When Jeff decided to leave, he kissed me.
I know this sound so stupid or dumb, but I still haven't any idea if he likes me a lot.
My uncle and our friends told me that Jeff recently got out of a 9 year marriage, but that he does want a relationship and does want to get remarried. Jeff does not know that I know this about him, because I never brought it up to him. I just think that if he want me to know he will tell me about it.

So anyone thinks this man might have a crush on me?

It's been one day and he hasn't texted me or called me.
I did text him and asked him to email or photo text me a photo of me with my uncle from that night, but to no avail, he still has not contacted me or responded back to me.
I am so nervous and upset at the same time. I really like this man and its already hurting me to not hear from him :(

ps: I may be moving to San Diego within a year or less for a job offer I got while I was there. I can't say no to such an offer I got. I will be making so much more money and will be able to afford my own two bedroom apartment, or beach house.
Saturday night when Jeff and I were talking we discovered that we literally have everything in common, We both love the same music, we both are cat lovers, we both like the same food, we both love the same activities. It is just insane and crazy i have never met anybody that has been so compatible with me. I have butterflies in my stomach. I don't think I have felt this way about anybody in over 8 years now.

Please tell me what you think that if it sounds like he likes me too?
what i can do to make him like me more when i go back to visit in two months, and especially for when I move there. I am going to see a lot more of him when I move there. He wants to move to live on the beach too, and he even said we should be room mates but I have already decided against that because I like him, I don't want to be "the friend" or the "the room mate". So I am just going to end up getting my own two bedroom small beach house for myself and my daughter.

I appreciate all advice
and opinions
please be kind about my situation because I am such a nervous wreck about this man. He's got me acting like I use to act when i was in love and 16. Oh GOD I am acting like a teenager! i feel like an idiot!

    I know you really like this guy but you sound very desperate and it would probably behoove you to take your time and work on yourself and recovery from your issues. Whatever you do don't be in a rush to sleep with him or as you said, "spend the night." Sure he sounds great but just because someone is well educated and makes good money doesn't mean that they're a good person to be with per se. From your post it sounds like you're practically married to him already in your head. Do whatever you want but understand you're powerless over whether or not he wants to fall in love with you. Maybe he really likes you but maybe he just wanted a piece of ass. Do yourself a favor and take it really slow. Try not to get too attached or put to many expectations on this hypothetical situation.

    Next time try seeing him when you're both sober and see how it goes.

    when i am on my cell phone it has some app that I don't know how to delete. It is really stupid so when I type on my phone it constantly does this. I am not doing it purposely.

    Monkey Butts Thanks For Your Feed Back. I Appreciate Your Honesty And Kindness.
    I Agree With You On Everything You Said.
    It Too Him Only One Whole Day To Text Me But None The Less, I Have Officially Turned Off The Button In My Brain That Made Me Keep Thinking Of Him. I Don't Think I Was Or Am Infatuated With Him. I Tend To Over Think Things Too Much.
    A Day Ago I Realized That He Is Just One Man. If We End Up Dating Or Being In A Serious Relationship Someday It Was Meant To Be. If It Is Meant To Be Then It Will Happen. If Not What Ever.
    I Like Him A Lot But I Also Realized That Thinking Too Much Also Made Me Think Of What He Is Like To Be WiTh But I Cannot Pretend Because This Is Wrong. I Have To Focus On Myself. So I Have ChMfrs My Diet To Healthy Diet, Made Some New Friends And Spend A Lot Of TIme With My New friends Which Has Helped Me A Whole Lot To Forget About This Man.

    I think your post was interesting. I like a guy too and is unsure if he likes me back. The difference between me and u is I never really had a boyfriend so this is a whole new chapter for me. I agree with comment #3 about how you need to focus on yourself and work on yourself. Your still hurt, your still shy, your still having anxiety about your last relationship. You need to spend these months that u have away from Jeff to work on your confidence and security. If u jump nto a new relationship and ur not ready for it then it could be a disater and could potential bring u lower then where ur already at. I think he likes you but the fact it took him that long to talk to you and now he have not even tried to make contact with u makes me wonder. You had shorts on and was swnging ur hair which means he prob got horny and wanted a piece of u. My advice, don't sleep, kiss, or be with him sexually anytime soon. Give 90 days of dating him and constantly seeing him before you give urself to him. That will save u a whole lot of heart ache. I know ur lonely but hold in there, you rather be lonely and full of hope then lonely and heartbroken and hopeless trust me!

    You need to meet up with him over lunch and sober to clarify things more, at this point he is interested in you but needs more time with you to see if a relationship is in the near future
