I think girls, in general, want to communicate more often than boys, so you have to take that into account. What you are describing is nothing more than the difference between men and women and their communication styles. So if you want to hear from him, text him once or twice each day, but limit it to twice max, or he might freak out.
But you also have to tell him how it's important that you two maintain communication each day. Make sure he understands YOUR point of view, and try to find a compromise between the two of you.
It's not going to work if you don't tell him WHY you need more communication/texting.
I have a long time interest in psychology, specializing in relationship dynamics for 30 years.
