Why are you always asking me this? I told you, I need some space! Jeeeeeeeeeeez.
If a guy actually uses the word "clingy" to describe you, chances are it's not in a positive sense, unless he's deciding who should help him scale the side of a building. And even then, your odds are like fifty-fifty. Flymen need alone time, too.
Let's not make this a boy/girl thing. I'd say a more appropriate question is, "do humans like clingy people?" and sadly, my answer is going to thoroughly disappoint you. I don't know.
It completely depends on which particular human we're talking about here. Some people need constant attention or they wilt, and some people would prefer if their partner only saw them via webcam once a week. Most of us fluctuate wildly between these two poles throughout our lives, depending on how secure we feel, what our circumstances are, and who we're with at any particular moment.
The balance between smothering your partner and ignoring them, and between feeling their presence in your life and resenting their intrusion, is a delicate one. Navigating it is one of the primary jobs of any relationship. Hence, you know, the divorces and all.
Good luck! :O
What did that emoticon at the end mean? Is Swaim trying to flirt with us?
I don't know, am I? O_O
If so, it's working. ;)
I like your answer Funny guy....nothing is wiser than saying I dont know! =)
I personally feel that this answer changes depending upon what stage of maturity and inner growth the man is in. I know several friends who haven't really had that first big relationship, and to them a Clingy girl sounds like the best thing that could happen. They are searching for someone to make them feel important, and nothing makes a guy feel important like fourteen phone calls to see if you really are in the bathroom.
Indeed, I was the same way at the beginning of my journey (not all men go through this phase, but I did). I felt that having a girlfriend that was clingy simply meant that I was THAT important to her. However, after going through several "Clingy" relationships I have realized that this simply isn't the way to be.
The healthiest relationships are the ones where each party holds on to 100% of their original self and simply work together to make the relationship happen. In most cases (I am betting) clinginess develops FROM the relationship, therefore its a change that doesn't need to be initiated. It only spells doom for the couple. Unless they are republicans.
I hate clingy guys.
I feel like I can't breathe.
Could be wrong, but I get the feeling a lot of guys like the chase... at least a little. Don't be constantly available and hanging on to his every move.
From experience I guess I've learned that a little space can go a long way.
I dated a clingy guy.
I wanted to stab a fork into his eye.
Instead I just broke up with him and broke his heart.
But I still wanted to stab him with a fork.
