<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

Throwaway because dude in question browses Reddit. 

This certainly isn't as serious as the other problems on this sub, but it's been gnawing at my mind forever now, and I felt like I might as well just make a post on here. I've never really dated anyone or had a boyfriend, so this is all very new to me.

I met the guy in question years ago, but we never really started talking until this past year. Eventually it was made pretty clear that I liked him, and he said he reciprocated the feeling. We went on a few dates as well. (That he initiated.)

Well, he has major issues with communication. He used to always initiate conversation, text me first just about always. Now I'm lucky to hear from him once a week. Not that I mind texting/calling him first, but I am wondering why he stopped. Generally he *does* act like he is interested, but the lack of communication often throws me off a bit, and I'm not really sure what to do. I've tried bringing it up, and he does apologize, but I've never gotten a real reason for it. In the 3 dates we have been on, he hasn't really done anything more than hug me either. I'm not sure if he is shy, or just not interested. 

Thanks!
<bot>: Boy has said he is interested, but doesn't really show it via communication, at least, not as much as he used to.
