I met a guy about 2 months ago, really hit it off right from the start. Had loads in common, great chemistry, he just seems a great catch all round.
Unfortunately about 3 weeks after we met he had to leave the country for work and is going to be away for the next 4 months ish. We agreed that we would both stay single and free to see other people but that we would stay in touch and potentially get together when he gets back. We talk every day and he is still quite affectionate, sends me little videos and pics to show me where he is and what he is up to which helps me feel like we aren't quite so far apart.
I'm just getting worried now because I really like this guy. Really, really like him. He is the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about before I go to sleep. My heart leaps when I see that I have a message from him. I'm scared because I feel really strongly for him and I'm not sure if he feels the same. I don't want to come on to strong and freak him out but I just can't stop thinking about him! I get really down when I don't hear from him for a while (although I know he is at work and busy so I don't expect him to be messaging me 24/7) and I'm really worried he is going to meet someone else or lose interest in me before he comes back.
I realise a lot of this is my own insecurities talking. I think its just that I've never been in a situation where my prospective love interest is so far away and I can't see him. Tbh I hate it and can't wait for him to come back.
WIBU to try and take a step back from him, not message him as much and maybe just try to distract myself a bit so I don't miss him so much? Or would be then think I'VE lost interest? Don't know what to do!
