Can a friendship between someone who prefers passive friendships and someone who prefers active friendsips work?

I'll keep this short.

I have a friend who is an introvert who "values his alone time"

He told me that his ideal friendship is one that is passive, e,g, you go weeks/months without contact.

He told me that he saw a friend of his that he didn't see for 3 months and in his words they were still cool and didn't take it personally.

I, on the other hand, am an ambivert.

I do not relate to the idea of "valuing alone time".

I prefer active friendships, e,g, we converse and see each other regularly.

In 2020, I had a friend who I saw 7 weeks in a row and we chatted every day, I felt really close to him.

My friend and I both have a lot in common and we get along but we don't chat much.

We've currently not chatted for 3 weeks.

We are friends but I don't feel close to him due to the lack of communication and I am going to talk to him about this.
How do you think a friendship can work between us?
