If he doesn't like texting then fine, a phone call here and there would work too. Some sort of effort to keep the communication flowing should be happening here. I could be totally wrong here, but in my experience guys who are really interested don't go for too long without at least saying hello. They don't want you to forget them, or meet someone else.
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.
Texting is irrelevant. How often do you talk on the phone?

Yeah that's very true Kiki I'm very much like ^^^^ and so are most of the blokes I know so I would be inclined to think this myself
However what I can't get around is what she said about him having trouble in opening up.... I was thinking that he may well have been hurt and slightly closed off emotionally which would explain a lot.
But hopefully it becomes more apparent for the OP shortly
This. The less texts, the better! A guy who isn't needy or clingy will refrain from constant texting.
Not if she's into constant texting.
Any bloke with a brain will recognise her frequency of communication whether that's ringing or texting then will at the very least match it . Because if he's not doing the same then more often than not she will think he's not as interested.
I know this is gonna sound like a not very good move, but I literally knew this girl years ago and all she wanted to do was text.
Like she would see me in person SOMETIMES, like once or twice a week or something. But she was available to text EVERY DAY!
I would ask her ''You wanna hang out tonight?'' and she'd give me some lame excuse as to why she couldn't hang out. But then after all of that, she would spend that entire night texting with me. And this kept continuously happening. After too many times of this happening, I straight up told her ''If you can text me all day and all night, this many times a week, but you can't see me more often, then I don't wanna text you. Text me when you're free to get together'' I was trying to tell her that I didn't wanna hear from her unless she had plans to get together in person.
I wasn't the one initiating the texting either, so I didn't consider myself to be that big of a D-bag for telling her no more texting.

She honored my wishes, after telling me that I was being childish. I just didn't have time to text all night, if she didn't have time to see one another in person more often.
We saw each other a few more times after this, eventually I moved out of state that September. All this communication with her was going on in the summer of 2010 though.
I never really liked her that much anyway, obviously the feeling was mutual.
Texting is sociopathic. People do it when they want to hide from the other person behind a screen rather than hear that person't living voice or look into his eyes. The last thing I would want from a person in a relationship is texting. In fact, I would take it as a sign of disinterest. If you are really interested in me, call me for goodness' sake!
