I cry at the drop of a hat, I ruin upcoming relationships because I become to clingy or I don't even know the word. Here's an example but he's not the only guy I've got all emotional on.

I went on one date with a guy I really was into and we had a pretty heavy make-out session. Anyway, he talked about a 2nd date, got sick, then when he felt better he didn't call he just texted me to check availability. I said I was available Saturday, because I had an X-mas party Friday.

Well Thursday he went out with friends and never called. Friday I sent him an e-mail through work, which I should not have done saying things like my brother told me he was feeding me lines, I wasn't about to be 2nd fiddle, well you get the idea, it was out of line.

I sent an apology for it that afternoon (via text). Phone and text were our forms of communication, e-mail I did by unnatural ways honestly. So some guy calls Friday I think it was him. So I text him asking if he called, and he responded by calling me a psycho and says he's no longer interested.

The latest guy I'm seeing I'm not as interest in as I was that one, but honestly I'm a mess and he who is way more interested in me than I him tells me I need therapy.

How do I learn to control my emotions? I'm still burning over the pre X-mas guy. I liked him a lot and we even worked for the same company, but he's gone. I need help getting over that as well.

I think you need to go to a counselor and see why you are so needy and better ways to get your needs met than deciding to glomp onto some guy and get confused between a date and an offer of marriage. One can't get to know another person in just one session; it can feel like we've known something forever but that's not the same as actually having done so.

If you all were sort of planning to go out Saturday, or that's the only day you had available and you really wanted to push that; why did you not make the plan at the beginning, when he asked about your availability? Leaving it to more back and forth with text and email just leaves open the probability of something getting in the way. I would have said something like, "I already have something going on on Friday but would love to try that new restaurant everyone's talking about on 10th street; would you come pick me up around 6:00?" Then, with the reservation/date set, I'd leave it alone until then and pick up where one left off on the last date during this next one. You could do all your imagining of what it will be like, what you would like it to be like, and anticipation until then.
