Texting and dating


I’ve been talking to a guy through a dating app – we are just texting – but he doesn’t seem to engage with me unless I engage with him – How do I not make this mean anything about me?
I get super excited every time he texts – I also get super disappointed if I don’t hear from him – why am I giving him all my power as to how I feel? It’s like I know our thoughts create our feelings – but I still can’t help but make his texting affect my mood…
