I need you all to slap some sense into me. Regular, namechanger, due to pathetically embarassing nature of post...
I've met someone (online) that I like. We've only had two dates, both of which went very well, and we are seeing each other this weekend too.
It's going as well as I would expect after a mere two meetings. He is funny and attractive and smart and appears to not be a nutter or an axe murderer. He has been in regular contact and has arranged 'proper' dates (i.e. going places/booking things rather than just propping up a bar) and each date arranged within 24 hours of the last one. He asked me on the second date (after hours of rather delicious snogging ) if I was seeing anyone else and seemed happy when I said I wasn't. He has given me no reason to think he is anything other than interested in me.
So why am I bloody panicking that it's all going to go tits up? I've barely gone 24 hours without hearing from him (phone or text) but still I'm sitting here tonight thinking 'Why haven't I heard from him today? Maybe he's not that into me? Is he out with someone else?' etc etc etc. I know it's been just TWO dates. He doesn't owe me anything. He certainly doesn't need to be in daily contact with me. But - aaaaaaaaargh.
I'm usually such a laidback, whatever sort of person. Generally very philosophical about stuff, if it's meant to be it's meant to be etc. I mean, it's not as if I'm planning the wedding (!!) - but why am I so incapable of chilling the fuck out when it comes to someone I like?
Please tell me I'm not the only one who loses all sense of perspective or, alternatively, beat me with wet fish until I accept that I haven't moved on since my teenage years and am a NIGHTMARE who will never be in a functioning relationship again

Why does meeting someone I like turn me into someone I loathe?
