Why does he text me?

Anonymous
There's this guy I met at a wedding of a mutual friend. We had spoken once before at her party, but he left after the dinner. At the time he had a girlfriend.

At the wedding, we exchanged numbers. He told me to let him know that me and my friend got to the hotel safe, so I texted him, and the next day he texted me about some film he'd told me to watch.

Now it's been about 3 months and he has been texting me now and then. He travels a lot and he's currently abroad for a few days, and he's been sending me all these photos. But he texts me sometimes asking how I am or telling me what he's doing. The conversations don't go on for long, and they aren't flirty. He's not really a flirty guy, in fact he's a bit shy and socially awkward.

Does he just want to be text friends? After the wedding, I wanted to get to know him more in person. I told him about an event I had booked, and he said it sounded really cool, but I bottled out and didn't ask him to come. I don't want to look silly if he just likes texting me and that's it. He is single by the way.
