Hey I just wanted to get some advice and feedback on this situation. So about 1 month ago I met this amazing guy on a dating app (36M), and I thought I was living in a dream. I’m a 26 year old woman btw. So I'm somewhat picky, but he pretty much checks almost every box of what I want in a person. Also when we met I felt an instant, almost karmic soul connection. I have never been comfortable with someone as quickly as 1 date. It felt like we had known each other for years. He said he felt the same way. Our first date was actually so amazing that he extended it longer, and the next day asked to see me (so our second date was literally the day after our first date).
So I'm going to try to make this brief and sum up the most important parts, but I need to give you some background so you understand. Since even before our first date, he was not big into texting (I'm not either), and he has mentioned that he is horrible at texting. Also he owns his own company, is a workaholic, and is extremely successful (multimillionaire status). I feel like these factors contribute to my confusion about our communication. We recently had our fifth date together. We slept together on the third date (not sure if that matters), and had an amazing sexual connection. Here is where my confusion is, and what my question is about...between dates, we have barely texted. So I'm very confused on how he feels. I've known him a little over a month, so we have went on about 1 date a week. I am someone who almost never initiates communication with a guy, but with him I have found myself initiating communication quite frequently...or else I feel like our connection will fade. For example, a lot of times on our dates, aside from texting right after to let him know I got home, that was it...for about 3-4 days there would be silence unless I reached out. Once I reach out he responds rather quickly, and after I reach out he has usually initiated hanging out again.
So obviously he is into me if he keeps asking me on dates and spending time with me. Also he is extremely sexually attracted to me, and makes that really clear. It's just, if he is barely initiating communication with me between dates what am I supposed to think? It's really confusing. We've been on 5 dates and I want to continue seeing him, but I don't know what to think when I don't hear from him for days and then I have to reach out. I am not into small talk or texting a lot either, I'm not very needy, but it's nice to check it once every day or every other day especially in the beginning stages of dating so I know he's still into it. So my question basically is, what do you think about his communication? If he has been consistently inviting me on dates and acting into me, why would he be putting so little effort in communication? Should I even keep initiating communication or let him reach out? I really don't love doing it, but I'm so serious about this guy. He checks every box and I can really sense a future with him, so I want this to work out. I have no interest in pursuing anyone else. If we have a sixth date (I am confident we will), should I mention the lack of texting and say I don't know how he feels? I'm not sure how to say how I feel without coming across the wrong way (desperate, insecure). I'm really not into games at all and just want to be honest. Also, any overall feedback/advice is totally appreciated on this entire situation, I love hearing thoughts/feedback from outside sources. Thank you so much in advance <3

i agree with the other girls that commented! but also, he’s older & has a lot going on as a business man. he could be old school & hate texting or is busy in between work & when he sees you. maybe you can start texting him good morning or goodnight everyday to get a routine going.....keep your options open! don’t let him have so much power over you. remember that YOURE the lady & the prize. carry yourself as such & he will come trying to impress you
