I've been dating this guy and things are going downhill fast. We had an amazing first date and even first week, but ten days after the first date he asked me to be his girlfriend I said yes even though I told him I felt we were rushing things. Then for an entire week he asked me every day over and over "Am I doing good as a boyfriend? Am I a good boyfriend? Am I doing good as a boyfriend?" I felt a lot of pressure and a weight on my shoulders because he was outwardly "fanboying" me...literally...he'll tell me I'm his dream girl and telling all his friends how amazing I am...and I felt it was too soon, so I called off the boyfriend/girlfriend and he said "it's just a label, I still want to be long term" and would never acknowledge why he needed to be in a relationship so badly. Then the next week, he told me that if we want to be long term I'll need to accept that he needs constant reassurance, so whenever his mom's death or cancer or PTSD or him having a bad day is mentioned, I'll sympathize with "I'm sorry" and he'll reply with "Meh. It's cool. Whatever." So now I'm getting really irritated. So now all week this week he'll text me "How are you doing?" and I'll reply with "I'm fine. I'm okay" or if he says something and I reply with "Ok" he'll reply with "You don't sound okay, you don't sound fine" So this morning we do this again and he says "Your clear lack of communication says otherwise."

Now I'm the bad guy for hurting his feelings every time I feel overwhlemed. I'm concerned about his actions and how it's making me feel. He's a good guy otherwise when we're together in person, my parents approved of him when he came over for dinner and they don't say that about anyone and has even begged me to "go steady" with him, and even my brother approved and he's seen all my friends and dates and he was very impressed. But 99% of the time the problems are over text, but I'm just beyond overwhelmed looking back and feeling awful. I like him a lot, but I know I'm doing something wrong and I just don't know how to fix it. I don't know what to do.
