Insecurity and the new relationship

I have gone out with this guy about 5 times and it's going well. We enjoy each other's company and have a good time together. The problem is that I've had a few bad experiences in the past few years, and I think my ability to trust is eroded. Every time I don't hear from this guy when I think I should, I freak out, thinking he's losing interest or dating someone else. I fully realize that it's too soon to freak out one way or another, but this is how I'm reacting, whether it's appropriate or not. I want to step back and remove myself a little from the situation, but I'm not sure how. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Has he given you any reason to feel insecure?

He's been pretty reliable. I don't know if I'm feeling an instinct or just having knee-jerk reactions based on other guys I've dated. You're right - I just have to keep my head about me. I'm still figuring out how I feel about him.... Thanks.
