Newish man is lovely. Makes it very clear he wants to see me, arranges the next date at the end of the previous one, turns up on time, never cancels, calls when he says he will. There is none of the usual will he won't he dating anxiety.
Even so, I still find myself anxious when waiting for a response. We don't text much because we see each other often so there no need in between, messages will be things like do you fancy xyz to eat tonight. He always replies, the only time he reads a message and doesn't reply straightaway will be because he plans to call instead, which he does within an hour. Sometimes it takes a while to read a message, which is probably because he hasn't looked at his phone, but I still find myself thinking he's probably read it from the notification and not replied. But even if that's true, I'm not worried, I know that he'll reply (or call) when he can, I just hate the waiting.
It's not that I'm anxious about how he's feeling or what he's up to, it's the hold the phone has. Ridiculous!
I sent a message earlier checking arrangements for tonight. He's been away this weekend, which hasn't bothered me at all, he's called everyday, but now I feel on edge waiting for a reply.
