communication issues

me and the guy i'm with right now never hit each other up. i know he doesnt text me to hang out or anything bc he feels like i'm mad at him or that i don't wanna be around him and so i'm always the one that ends up asking him to hang out EVERY TIME. it's been like this for a long time and when i bring it up he doesn't think it's as big as i think it is. i feel clingy but all i wanna do is spend time w him and i know he does too but he doesn't show it. how do i get him to text first or communicate to him that i hate always texting first??
