Text-Only Relationship?

So, I met this guy on tinder almost a month ago. Everything was great in the first week of "getting to know each other and make sure you're not serial killer" phase. He asked me out, I said yes. The day of the date, he texted me and said "I'm so hungover and I have work in an hour, I dont think today will work." And I was upset about this and expressed that to him. He apologized and I gave him a second chance because we get along great, we share humor, we both find each other attractive, etc. It's since then been 2 and a half weeks and has yet to find time to ask me out. I brought it up to him yesterday about not knowing how much longer I could do this sole texting thing and how I didn't want to push us dating, but we could go out and see where things go. He responded with the "I'm not ready for a relationship and I know you are. I'm kind of nervous to meet you because you're perfect and blah blah blah." Didn't make any effort to say, "we can meet up and just see where things go! no pressure or anything." Since then, we've been texting and snap chatting and stuff but I'm just gently confused as to what he wants. I've stopped snapchatting him and resorted solely to text since he begs to see my face and I feel like that is somewhat of a "luxury" if that makes sense. He voluntarily talks and seeks me out but doesn't make an effort to actually meet up? He works 45+ hours and goes to school but he has time to go out with friends on the weekend, etc. I'm such an idiot for this guy, everything I could possibly want. Is it worth it to wait and keep texting him and see if he changes or am I just holding onto a dream here?
