I am dating someone for the first time in my life (not yet "partners", but I used that term in the title to get my point across). I've had FPs before, and I find it hard for me to accept they enjoy me and/or my presence if we are not in constant communication. 

I used to plan out texts in advance, sometimes days in advance, so I knew I'd have a reason to talk to them if they didn't text me first. Now I'm a bit better with this, but I find myself still thinking about what I can text them later in the day or the week &amp; I play the potential conversation out in my head. It's exhausting &amp; I know it's unhealthy. 

And then there are the days like today when I am trying to hold myself back from texting them until they text me. And it hurts to do this. 

DAE feel this way/do this? I really like this person, but I worry I'll be abandoned if I text too much. 

For reference, this person recently told me they love when their phone lights up with my name &amp; they've initiated several recent conversations. But I still read into their text tone if that makes sense...
