Can't work him out

This guy has been trying to get a date with me for over a year. I finally gave in 3 months ago.

First date went amazing, he was lovely, caring I met his friends later etc.
He didn't show up for the planned second date with no contact prior, I then heard off him, believed the excuse he gave and replanned. He showed up, exactly as the first date we still hit it off.
Third date went the same.
My issue is he doesn't contact me very often, it's almost like he talks the talk when we are together but can't walk the walk. I'm very guarded as a person from past hurt so I might not be giving off the right vibes but I just feel something is off. I'm used to having communication if someone wants to pursue something with you, not left for 3 days at a time. My friend seems to think he's treading very carefully with me not to push me away as I come across very confident and independent (it's all a front as I'm quite vulnerable).
Any advice?

Think you need to consider what all this ‘giving in’ is about.
If you like the guy and want to see him why not just ask him what the issue is and take it from there?

I took on board everybody's opinions and decided to reach out myself. I seen him tonight and we have plans for a weekend away this weekend so all seems to be plodding along nicely.
I think my own insecurities were my own issue
