So I’ve been dating recently, and my down fall, every single time, is reading too much into the amount of time it takes someone to text me back. 

For example, I went on a date last night with a guy last night and everything seemed to indicate that it went well. He paid for dinner, he drove me home, he told me later that he wanted to kiss me but then decided to wait. But, today, he isn’t texting me as often. Now, granted, he is still texting me, and he told me that Sundays in the fall are important to him because he loves NFL football, so he could just be busy. But my mind won’t let me calm down and just accept that as a potential reason.

There’s been times I haven’t texted him for hours at a time, so why can’t I be ok when he doesn’t text me for hours at a time? Do I have a reason to be worried? Or is this just anxiety and BPD rearing its ugly head?
