... How he's interested remains to be seen though. If all he does is text you and he isn't asking you out on any real dates then you'd be a fool to accept an invitation to "hang out" with him at his place because you're just setting yourself up to be a casual sexual partner.
If YOU like him then tell him that you've texted enough to figure out if he'd like to take you out and get to re-know you in person. If he doesn't ask you out after that then get the book "He's Just Not That Into You" and read what happens when a guy doesn't do ANY pursuing.
It doesn't take ANY effort to text. Not in this day and age where everyone just does it because its what is done. (sadly)
“The willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life is the source from which self-respect springs.” ~Joan Didion
