I just want to re-iterate what KenF says about expectations. It seems you are worrying more about his reaction to your texts instead of why you are sending them in the first place. (sorry - not trying to hit you with a 2x4, just giving advice that was once given to me).
Keep the texts light, pleasant. If you are truly worried about him.. express that you care but let it be. You can only open the door, you can't make them walk through it.
You seem really excited and hopeful. I don't want to say it's bad.. I just don't want to see you get hurt either. Tread with caution perhaps?

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
