Should I initiate a date after a pause?

Met him on tinder and started dating for about 3 weeks. He then had to go on a business trip. While on the trip our communication was not often, however he sent photo of a beautiful place he was. When he returned he didn't initiate a date and then after a couple of days went for another trip too. The communication was rare too, but he also initiated contact by sending photo. When he came back he didn't sent a single message and when I texted him he responded with great dely. He also sent a text after a couple of days without proposing a date. Our communication is practically inexistent now, he only responded hearts in my fb story but replied after 11 hours in message I sent him afterwards. Is there a pause or did he lose interest? If he didn't care why would he sent 5 hearts on a story? Should I ask him out or would I look needy?
