Why does my boyfriend always want to talk in person about important matters?

Maybe that's just his style, I'm the same way. There's a lot of stuff that is lost when you communicate via text and even when actually chatting on the phone. For important matters, it appears to be the best method to talk in-person so that all sorts of social cues and body language can be passed on.

I suggested he could move in with me until he finds a place and job and he wanted to talk to me in person

Well, did you actually talk with him? What was said if it's not too personal?

I just texted him about it and he said he wants to talk about in person

Some people prefer to talk in person about critical matters. He’s most likely more inclined to be able to talk in person and physically let it out. Some people would rather do that, he may also want to see physical reactions as well. Definitely be supportive of it. Not a lot of people are like that anymore. It’s a good thing to have.
