If you fail to text back for six hours, he begins to panic. He starts texting asking if you’re angry with him, or if he did something wrong. He texts things like, “If you’re not interested in me anymore, I understand.” If you don’t text for a day, he starts calling friends or family to make sure you’re alive.

He assumes intimacy, and so he assumes the worst if he doesn’t hear from you for a full afternoon. This behavior will only intensify if you keep dating.
