I've recently started dating a great guy. He's cute, smart, has a good job, and is basically everything I ever wanted in a man. The problem? I'm so insecure I'm driving myself and all my friends nuts. Although he is unusually attentive...talks to me on the phone daily, texts me every morning that he wishes I have a good day, and usually calls/texts me throughout my work day...I find myself becoming certain that he doesn't like me and isn't going to contact me again. Basically, I dated someone briefly a few months ago and had them pull this with me...he just stopped calling me cold with no explanation. So, even though he assures me he's not like this, I keep getting afraid that he's just going to leave like the last guy did. It's almost like I'm holding my breath waiting for it. Today, he texted me in the morning just like usual, responded to a text I sent him, but he didn't call or text at lunchtime (like he usually does) and so I sent him a text at around four and he didn't respond. This has me in a tailspin. I'm sure he's about to dump me although my friend keeps telling me I'm nuts, that the text I sent was worded in a way that didn't require a response, and that of course he's going to call me tonight. I don't know what's wrong with me...every night he calls me and tells me he loves me before he gets off the phone, but I'm just not convinced. I keep feeling like he's going to be out the door just like the last one, and it's making me slightly frantic. Am I just out and out crazy? So far I've managed to hide the crazy insecurity from him, but I'm afraid he's going to see it eventually if I can't find a way to calm down.
