Hi, I'm a freshman in college and I'm dating a sophomore who is currently studying abroad in Florence, Italy. We've been dating for around 5 months, but only dated two before he left. He's the sweetest guy I could imagine and before he left I was sure that I was in love with him, and he with me. Actually, I still am. The Problem is that it is my first serious relationship and his first in a while. I don't really have any past experience to compare it to. I do trust him, but I worry constantly about what he is doing over there and my worry increases exponentially when he goes a day or two without contacting me.

My problem is that he's been traveling more and I have't been able to talk to him as much. He doesn't have a cell phone over there and we mostly communicate through an IM app that he has on his kindle. There isn't wifi in a lot of places and has been extremely busy, Lately I've been missing him so much more and I worry that he doesn't feel the same. He seems to still be making an effort to talk to me but it just doesn't seem like he misses me like I miss him. And it's making me go insane. I'm trying so hard not to worry him because I don't want him to think I'm crazy. It was such a hard decision deciding whether to stay together while he was away because we were together for such a short time.

At this point he comes home in seven weeks, but it feels like an eternity. Mostly, I'm worried:
1) that i'm going to scare him off by something I say,
or 2) that when he comes back he's not going to feel the same about me.

    Let's get some perspective here. He's in a new place and not only does he still have school work (right?) but also he has many places to explore. Put yourself in his shoes. If you were in Italy, would you contact your bf every day? Hell no! I know what you're going through...my bf was in Korea for a year but we had been dating quite a bit longer before he left. It was hard but after working 14-16 hour days through the week, he'd rather go and hang out somewhere in Seoul with his friends than stay in his dorm room talking to me which is totally understandable. We still talked pretty often but suffocation isn't the answer. Good luck!
