Should I Text Him First?

[Noel]

I really like this guy in grade 11, and Im in grade 9. We normally talk on facebook but then he got my number from a friend and we've been texting for the past few days. The last 2 times he texted me first and Ive texted him first once but I texted him today a few hours ago and he didnt respond. I saw that he was on facebook but I didnt want to say anything just incase. When we were talking last night he totally opened up to his first thoughts about me and how now that he actually knows me he thinks Im awesome and stuff, I felt like I was walking in air! But I dont know whether I should keep texting him or if I should just wait until he texts me back, I really hope he does soon! Do I sound desperate? And is it ok for me to text him first? Thanks!
