I need serious help from mature older women

I like this guy and I told him and he responded like yeah I like you to, we started FaceTime often and texting and snapping more but there’s an issue. He’s a horrible person to talk to if it’s not in person OR he’s lying and isn’t interested in me. When we text I feel like it’s forced, snap is obviously just pictures back&force and when we FaceTime at first it’s great but then he gets on the game n I’m nothing. I don’t wanna waste my time but when we talk in school it feels like everything is fine. Is it maybe he just sucks at texting n stuff ? Ik there’s not much context but based off what I said what do you think? Our ages are 17(him) and Im 16 almost 17, he’s an athlete so very busy and he’s constantly with friends it’s been his thing since I remember, oh and he once said on FaceTime “I’m a bad listener sometimes” in which I responded “I’ve learned” and he said “yeah I can see it bothers you, it’s written on your face” but I mean we haven’t really talked in person or ft after that so idk if he’s changing that or not. I really like him but if you older women suggest I’m better off then I’m ghosting him

Update: he’s just a really bad texter! He always ask to ft now bc I told him how I felt n he says he’s better at expressing emotions and keeping convos going physically/in person. Thanks for the help!
