What do guys feel when a girl texts them first?

If a girl texts a guy first, does that make her to seem clingy/needy? Because all of my friends has told me that a girl should never text first, but I really like this guy and it feels a bit childish to just wait around for him.

How will he ever know that I like him if I never initiate?
