<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

Met a guy online. We seemed to click so we met up for drinks. He was cute but definitely a little nervous/shy. At the end of the date he gave me a brief kiss and told me he had a great time. He actually confessed that this was his first online date (unless he was lying to me..?) and that he thought I was pretty/smart and wanted to hang out again soon. We parted ways. 

He texted me later that night saying, again, that he had a good time. I responded saying I did as well and since then (it's been 5 days) we have been texting on and off. We're also currently playing words with friends against each other (his idea..) and he chats me sometimes on there. 

Basically, we've had a few conversations this week and he hasn't explicitly asked me out again. He even went as far as to ask me what my schedule looked like, but still nothing. I'm in grad school so I'm pretty busy but is he trying to get me to do the asking? Is he disinterested? Does he think I'm disinterested? I know you guys aren't mindreaders but any insight? I also know I am definitely capable of asking this guy out myself, but I would really like to know that the guy actually wants me and isn't just accepting a date to be polite or because he thinks he'll get some...
<bot>: he keeps initiating convos, but hasn't explicitly asked me out again. should I drop a hint? ask him out myself? give up?
