Well, in my own defense, we talked all day yesterday about various things, and it all felt natural. No, the bathroom didn't come up in our conversation, nor did washing the dishes. I do understand giving each other space, but I really feel attracted to him. We would talk on the phone, but A.) he has a job, and B.) we both have an aversion to talking on the phone in general.

It's just, I am a people pleaser deep down, and when I like a person, I want to do things to make them happy. I want him to know that I wasn't trying to be rude or disinterested last night when I didn't reply, but that I fell asleep.

I do get not wanting to come off as overly clingy/needy/eager but I don't want to seem disinterested either. I also want to just be myself, because I want him to like me for me. It's all so complicated!!

I'm going to wait till about 11 or so to reply to his text and explain that I fell asleep. That, to me, sounds appropriate.
