How do you ask a guy to “slow down” without seeming uninterested?

This guy is annoying texting me every hour but he’s cute I do want to get to know him more. How do I phrase this politely?

Put him on a schedule and do it in a serious manner. 8-12 one text...1-6 text...9-11 one text. I like you BUT...

Doesn't be have a life? Tell him that when you start dating you prefer to converse face to face.

Just tell him.
If he doesn't honor it, leave.
