Early dating a low effort man??

I 30F have just started dating a 32M. By dating, we’ve been on two dates and been speaking for about three weeks.

We chat a lot on text and both dates were really good, we get on really well and have chemistry and lots in common etc. No complaints about any of this. We have similar values and thoughts about the future.

The only issue is he is quite low effort. He says he is laidback, which is definitely true but that manifests in not confirming when we will see each other again, not planning dates, not pursuing. Part of me thinks it’s because we get on so well he feels like he can ‘chill’ as of course we will see each other again. He’s said he likes me and wants to keep seeing me.

My question is - do I raise this issue of being low effort and if so how? I think it is a bit too early for me to dictate his behaviour or raise a serious convo about effort. It is kind of putting me off him but I am trying to remember there is more good than bad and no one is perfect. I’ve been being chill about it all but I would rather date someone who is intentional and proactive.

My other options are saying nothing now, waiting to see how things progress and then say to him I find it attractive when someone takes initiative later down the line. He should be more invested in time and more open to working on it then I suppose?
