Texting is a bad sole choice of communication if you're involved with someone IMO. Initiate, try the phone and ask him point blank what's going on because you feel you deserve some info and care about the relationship and where it's at-which is puzzling to you right now. I know guys can be quiet but you sound like you've been given enough silent treatment to let yourself be overtly concerned and be drug through more. IMHO. Gluck.

He treats you pretty casual, if that's not what you want then maybe you should reconsider investing so much of your emotions into this man...He can and will hurt you if you continue to invest in this casual situation with him...He needs to be the one investing or there really is no relationship...He has to feel the same way you feel or more or it won't work...You will be the one treating him like a boyfriend which you are he will be the one treating you like a friend which he is.
The more he see you care and invest yourself emotionally the more he's going to back off...less availability may help this situation, that means no more text messaging, tell him you can't text to either call or you can speak on the phone later...You have power...use it...stop doing things on his terms, do what makes you happy, if texting doesn't make you happy then don't text, tell him to call you.

"IMHO, Lack of communication is always a deal breaker for me. Texting is the worst form to communicate. Email a close second. The energy required and the cost to pick up the phone for a minute out of the day is a pittance (versus the other methods) to be able to "connect." It is so important within a relationship to maintain and keep the connection fluid and strong AND... you'll do it if you feel the relationship is worth it. When there's no worth/value the phone doesn't ring and vice versa. It's a tell. You don't have to call every other hour, be ultra clingy, etc. but if you get that minute or two to hear each other's voice and appreciate one another in just that small moment it's a beautiful day throughout."
I could not agree more.

To another topic...I also find plenty of people I've met in life (both men and women) are commitment phobes about one thing or another (I'm guilty as charged) so don't think that men are alone in this area. When it comes to relationships though I wish people would have some consideration for the person they're getting involved with because the minute that the emotional floodgates open... what you have is vulnerability which is scary and can cause turmoil. If said guy/ gal isn't interested then don't string the other one along. They need to just move on and get an ego stroked elsewhere. Energy vampires.
I'm a Venus in Cancer and when I am interested in someone it is impossible to think otherwise. Maybe it's his Scoprio moon that is holding him back. I dunno.

Thanks Tiki.
I would add that in this day and age it confounds me why people cannot just be adults and have some empathy. I mean, what good is it going to bring by keeping you in the dark with his intentions. If he is uncomfortable about telling you he's not into you ..well, he's not doing you any favors by just disappearing.
