Okay, Ive been with my bf for about 2 years now and its been a rocky romance. We actually broke up in May and haven't officially gotten back together because my family and friends would freak out and we wanted to build a relationship from the ground.
I really love this kid. But he is horrible with the phone. Last night he said he was going to call me, and when I tried texting him asking if he was going to call he never responded. This makes me really anxious and upset cause I always feel like he is just going to leave.
We would be doing long distance and there are plenty of guys where I am living. The only thing is...I am completely hung up on him but am tired of not being appreciated as much. I dont want to threaten to leave anymore because it just ends up us talking again and him professing his love for me.
Normally, I would say this guy isnt really interested since I have to bug him to respond sometimes. But its the weirdest thing because if I just stop trying or get mad, he starts talking to me like crazy and saying how much he loves me and how he really wants to marry me one day.
Ive tried saying we should just have a more casual relationship so that I dont feel so alone, but he immediatly ignores it and says he would never go for that. So i know its not just the sex.
Basically, I am feeling anxious because he never called me last night or responded to my 3 texts. The last message I got was at 930 with him saying "Can we talk at 10 Im sorry Im at walmart with my mom school shopping and I didnt hear my phone. Im sorry I ignored you :[" Now its 1230 the next day and I still havent heard from him. Im terrified that since hes moving into his apartment maybe he will meet someone new or not have time for me.
Please just help me either calm my anxiety or give some advice how I can not freak out and think hes leaving when I dont hear from him for a day. He always ends up calling sometime or another but I just get upset :[

He has won your heart and you are no long a challenge. Become a challenge. Stop texting him, stop making the effort, go out and have fun, date other guys and do things that make you better.
Excercise, go places, spend time with friends.
Create an exciting life not centered around him and he will want to be in it. Men are turned off by women who sit around waiting for their call all day. In some cases, they move on to girls who are more of a challenge. Girls who actually have fun and enjoy life, not girls who spend their lives obsessing or thinking about them.
I think you know what you need to do.
P.S.
When you are on a date or with your friends, dont answer his calls. Let him try you until he gets you, but only after you are done having fun! [ changecanhappen's advice column | Ask changecanhappen A Question ]
