<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

So I haven't been in a committed relationship since 5 years ago but I've gone on multiple dates and seen some guys for a but but never as serious as the one 5 years ago. The guy I'm seeing now is a great and caring guy in person, and we act like a couple when were together but when it comes to communicating over the phone like texting our relationship might as well be just casual friends. It usually goes on for a bit, then he stops randomly when I'm expecting an answer. I feel like because we aren't an actual couple that I'm being too paranoid and hurt for his lack of text or call, but at the same time I just want to stop it because I want someone to call and text me  and still hang out all the while as a couple. I just want to know how I can ask him why he doesn't text or call without being seen as creepy or clingy
<bot>: am I being too obsessive over him not showing enough care through long distance communication. If not, how should I go  about it and ask?
