If a guy doesn't initiate conversations, does that mean he's not interested?

Anonymous
So mostly, I initiate the conversation. I don't know if he's just shy to start it or he just doesn't want to talk to me. He told me he likes me and even said that he hopes we could continue to keep in touch some more. But, he still doesn't start convos.

Is he just waiting for me to start it again? Or is this a sign I should back off since he may not be as interested in me as I thought he was?

Last time we talked, I messaged him first and said hey. He replied saying ' long time to talk :)' If he really did want to talk to me, he could've just started one, right? He's confusing me right now.

Oh, one more thing. When I do start a convo, I usually just leave a message and log off for a while to do other stuff (since I don't know when he'll reply). He always replies and then wait for me to go online again so we could chat. Does that mean anything?
