<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

I met this guy over the winter and although nothing happened between us, it was obvious that we were both interested.  We text every few weeks to check in and I am interested in seeing him while I am in his town over the summer.  Should I send him a text now letting him know I have a ticket to go there and that I'd love to meet up, or should I wait until it's closer to my travel dates? I don't want him to think I am desperate to see him and get the wrong idea (the idea is to see him and if things feel right, make moves ;) ) or be turned off by my eagerness.
<bot>: Should I let him know I am coming now, or should I wait until it is closer to when I will be in the town?  If I tell him now, what would be the best way to randomly text him this?
