Need advice on how to text a guy?

This guy doesn't live in my city. So it's just casual texting
The thing is, I need advice on how to keep him engaged, given that I'm not meeting him anytime soon.
Some helpful advice would be on:
-Do you like it when girls text you first? Or does it make you lose interest?
-How long should I wait to reply? (If I should in the first place)
-If he leaves me on read, but had texted me first, is it okay to start a new conversation... say, the day after?
Any additional advice would be highly appreciated.
Clarification: He's not THAT communicative. He sends me memes, things we are both into, articles, etc, but doesn't do the constant "what's up" "wyd now" "how are you" kind of texting. (He's never asked me any of those questions, by the way)
He does ask questions (meaningful ones), but once he has the answer, he doesn't really try to keep the conversation going.
