Is it too early to bring up that he never asks follow up questions

After a few weeks, you should see some reciprocal curiosity. He asks where you're from, what you do, what you like. One-sided responses are either a sign he's not that interested, he's bad at showing interest through text, or he's texting multiple people and not invested in any of them yet.

The pattern is distinct enough that it's worth paying attention to. Don't ignore it hoping it changes. But also don't assume the worst. Some people are just poor at texting and ask better questions in person. Others are slower to open up. What matters is whether he shifts when you're face to face or if it stays this way.

The move is to describe the pattern without judgment, then give him space to respond. Don't lead with 'you never ask me questions' because that sounds like an accusation and he'll defend himself instead of hearing you. Instead, name what you're observing and ask a real question about it.

The goal is to start a conversation, not win an argument. You're testing whether he can receive feedback without getting defensive, and whether he'll actually change his behavior once he knows it matters to you. His response tells you a lot about whether this is worth pursuing.

This is the kind of thing that always lands badly over text because tone disappears. He'll read it as criticism no matter how carefully you word it. A phone call or in-person conversation lets him hear that you're not angry, just noticing something.

Do it sooner rather than later. A few weeks in is the right window. Waiting months and then bringing it up makes it look like you've been keeping score. Send a short text asking if you can call or grab coffee soon. Then have the conversation then. If he avoids meeting up or keeps ghosting your attempts to solidify plans, you already have your answer.
