Is it possible that a man is very interested in a woman but doesn't text her often (1-2 times a week)?

I am currently seeing someone I work with. We work on opposite sides of the building and our jobs are very different and we never have work related communication. We've been out three times and he seems interested when we are together, however, when we aren't together I hardly hear from him and when I do it's usually him asking me to go out with him. When I respond it usually takes him 1-2 hours to reply with a text.

I don't want to come off as needy, so I'm attempting to just go with the flow and not text him. He's 30 and I'm 24, he's very hard to read but if/when I've asked him out in the past he was very receptive and has never turned down an offer from me to spend time together.

Am I reading too far into this or is hearing from someone you're seeing only once-twice a week normal? We've been out three times together but it's only once a week that we spend time together.

It's sounds like the perfect FWB scenario to me, are you under the illusion that's it's more?

I do, we haven't had sex yet and he seems to be awkward and nervous at the end of our dates like he's not sure what to do. I don't really get the FWB vibe from him at all.

Little texting?

And the problem is?

He's a keeper, texting is the bane of modern 'relationships.'

I wouldn't complain too much about not texting often. Spending time together in person is better and it's easier to read his actions that way.

If there was a choice between a "textationship" and a relationship: I would definitely choose the latter.

Hmmm surprising

It's too speculative to say really, he might already have partner, unsure of himself, etc

Has he given you a reason for only seeing you so little? Or is it genuinely the work schedule?

It is way to early for anybody to be expecting anything

He hasn't given a reason and I haven't asked, since I don't want to make him feel like I'm questioning him. He's attractive, but seems to take a while to open up. It may be possible he has not been in many relationships in the past and might not know how to act?

Some people just aren't big on texting. I know that I only use it once in a while myself. I usually use a phone if it's something other than "I'm running late" or something along those lines. There are actually younger people that aren't chained to technology, as surprising as that sounds.
