Some people like receiving and giving affection and attention; some people don't and call that clingy.

What astounds me is when someone would rather run to the internet (forums, Yahoo Answers, etc) for advice instead of just communicating with the poor girl. But she's the one with "potential personality problems?" :rolleyes:

Eg. She "acts" up when I don't speak to her for a day or two :erm:. Even when she knows I'm out and about. Will add a more in-depth example when I get home but what is clingy in your opinion and what has been your experience with clingy women.

I'm the same. I can easily go a day or two without speaking to my SO, but most of them don't seem to appreciate it. I don't think it's really clinginess, though. They just like to know you're still there and thinking of them.

Just say hello once a day and save yourself the nagging. :p

I'm asking for a different opinion. We have mutual friends so 3rd party advice is appreciated as usually there is something you don't see from your point of view. Thus the thread.

Keep in mind that you mentioned SO..We are still friends.

Pffft. Just unique. I'm 34 and single, happy with it.
Thought you were in your late 20's :wtf:
When you like someone, you don't just ignore them.

And if you were into her, you would have called expressing great regret at not being able to spend the weekend with her instead.

He clearly is not that into her, judging from his behaviour, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

You telling the op what he should've done, is dictating how he should have behaved. It grates my carrot when people do that.

+1

I'll be honest my interest has waned a bit since she started doing such.

Oh, I just read through our previous conversations and this has happened before and I mentioned that I'll let her know if I'm not interested but she shouldn't over-react and bombard me with calls and messages.
She agreed and we left it at that.

I understand that I some people want you to know your thinking of them but one sms, call, whatsapp is enough in my book unless it's an emergency(which it wasn't). Where can you draw the line between enthusiasm and clingy.

8 missed calls + 10 whatsapp messages when she knew I was out with some friends for a weekend? I'm terrible??

I hate that. Lol. Men just need to get used to being wrong and getting in trouble.

That being said, when a woman hits 28, she has already questioned if she will ever find a man, if she will be infertile by the time she gets married. They start to get very anxious as they approach 30 and this makes them more likely to cling onto someone they really like.

But women will always require and deserve constant attention. If you don't want to give it, you are with the wrong woman.

28, clingy, over-enthusiastic, gets a bit ape when you don't call her.
You're in the friend phase. She's looking for a husband.
Unless you are looking to get married - walk away very fast.
This. Either make sure you can control her or walk away. Else you'll have a broken condom and a bundle of joy on your hands sooner than planned.

Also if she reads Cosmo then run for the hills.

dunno if that's clingy then again you do tell her you out for a bit. One possibility is that she is expecting it to go somewhere/be serious. if so now would be the time correct(a wrong perception? or too soon expectation) and make like a tree

I only learnt after my concussion,cleanliness is bad!
if she`s like that now,Imagine when things get serious and you get married :erm:
Maybe talk to her about it? without incurring her wraith and anger ofcourse...

You prefer she smells like fish?
