Look communication is important. You can tell him that you’re not that big of a fan of texting all day long and of course if you guys start working you’ll see that it just doesn’t work like that. Tell him that directly that you don’t like texting all day long and hopefully he’ll understand. It’s always best to be direct with the best wording possible. Truth might hurt but with the right wording it hurts a lot less qnd it’s easier to understand.
