Guy I like

I know this guy from over last summer and I really liked him. We never had a thing because he said he didn't date but we talked on and off but We loved eachother . We recently started talking again and I'm trying to get closer but it's like we barely see each other or ever hang out but when we do We just kiss and it goes back to texting. I feel like I'm the one always texting him first and sometimes it takes forever for him to respond back. How do I get closer without being clingy or needy?
