If he is willing to talk to you and responds that quickly then that is a good sign. If he responds with only a few short words then that is not a good sign and usually means he is bored and only replying to be nice.
The reason he may not initiate is due to shyness. Maybe he is worried that if he send the first message that he will be bother you.

I'm in the same boat. What I've found is that some people are just awful at initiating conversations in text, so they'll try to avoid it in general.
it means that he likes you, but not much.. or he's too shy, but do you really need it?
Some people Naturally initiate conversations, and some people don't. Don't take it personally, most people are the type to not initiate conversations. Don't be offended by it, just because you're the one who has to initiate doesn't mean he doesn't want to talk to you.
He's probably worried that you'll be busy or won't want to talk to him at that time. He could just not know what to say to you. If he responds instantly but won't initiate he's probably interested but just shy

Sounds like he likes you! If he didn't respond that would be different but the "rules" of texting are so stupid!
He's probably unsure, or if he's anything like me just shy. He might very well be into you.
Yes probably. Some guys just don't initiate unless its required of them.
I think he likes you and is just unsure about how you feel
I think it means that he's interested in you, but he fears being regected when he wants to talk to you.
he probably doesn't want to initiate because he is unsure how you feel. if he messaged you and you don't respond that can feel like rejection.
Yeah I do the same thing because I'm always up to talk but I don't want to interrupt their life
i think he is confused
about what he should tell you
don't worry its ok
he just want some time to get used to youHe may just be shy and/or unsure about how you feel. You can ask if he would like to meet up with you and go on a "date" so to say
It means he is unsure of things and is letting you take the lead.
trying to avoid you omg its so obvious lol? you're repulsive to look at
Maybe he's shy and doesn't want to appear overeager.
he responds = he is interested. he may be meek when it comes to this.
He likes you but wants you to take the lead in the relationship.
He could just be a normal polite person
could be a fear of rejection?
