<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

My ex and I recently started seeing each other.  We've been taking it slow and went on our first date last weekend.  The days leading up to the first date, he seemed to be so in love.  He called me and texted me all the time; he constantly told me he loved me and was very sweet.  We had a perfect first date. There was a kiss good night but not much more than that.  We live about two to three hours away and we are both working during the week so we can only see each other on the weekends.  He's been not as attentive as he was last week and perhaps the novelty of us getting back together has worn off?  I go a little crazy every time he doesn't text back or call me when he says he will.  I'm trying really hard to contain all those crazed feelings.  We date on and off for about a year and a half.  Am I just being over emotional and needy? 

How do I keep him from losing interest in this budding but long-distance relationship?  I'm worried because we have broken up before, but I really want it to work out this time.  I don't think he's lost interest yet--he decided to forgo seeing his family so we could spend time together this weekend, which I really appreciate!  We are both 20-year-old college students.
<bot>: Ex and I are exploring getting back together.  How do I make sure it works this time and hold onto him?
