Any advice on being patient?

I'm dating a guy who I'm pretty interested in and I've made it clear to him..he has also told me he is interested and we seem to want the same thing (relationship eventually) he doesn't text often (this was how he was from before we started dating so I just assume he's not the texting type) but that leaves me wondering, scared and impatient not knowing what is happening or when we will move on to the next stage or if we even will..any advice on how to stop worrying and being impatient?
