How can I show the guy I’m talking to I’m interested in actually getting to know him?

We’ve really been lacking communication because I’ve been so nonchalant with him.. and we had a conversation recently about how he thinks I ain’t interested in him.. And I told him I was and that I just suck at showing it.. We agreed to Try and communicate better and stuff.. And he said I can’t do nonchalant with him. And lately our schedules have conflicted with getting to spend time together. So what are ways until we can see each other that I can show him? I do like him, and want to actually get to know him on a deeper level.. Im the type of person that likes to talk in person. Or on the phone not text.. But what are ways I can show him through text too?
