By- Shreya Sharma
Get this straight into your head; NO MAN WANTS THERE GIRLFRIEND TO BE CLINGY. There is a fine line between being loving GF and being clingy. The best of a girlfriend can become clingy at times. It is a subjective matter because some may find you clingy while other may find you over loving. It depends who accepts things to which level. You just need to know where to draw the line to stop being clingy. Clingy girlfriends are the ones who do not feel loved in their relationship and this turns into insecurity and plea for love and attention. Here are 13 alarming signs you are being clingy girlfriend and how to avoid it.
- Personal space
Guys love their own space and want some time by themselves. Give your boyfriend enough time to do things on his own. It is their way to relax after a long day.
- You want to talk for hours and he does not
You may love to snuggle up in bed and talk with him for hours. In the starting phase of your relationship, your boyfriend too may be interested in those late night calls, but as the relationship matures, your calls may get shorter. It does not mean that he does not love you, but he is just getting back to the normal life. Do not force him to talk with you more. Instead make the calls shorter and hung up even before he wants to, this will make him miss you.
- You do not have a life of your own
Have your own life. Go out with your friends instead of waiting for him to make plans and take you out. To avoid the tag of a clingy GF, make him a part of his life instead of making him your whole life. Respect yourself and do not be available his every call.
- Do not always act like a damsel in distress
Guys love to be your knight in the shining armor and help you and protect you. Ask for help from them and it will make them feel manly. Asking for too much help from them will only get him annoyed.
- You feel insecure when he meets another girl
If you feel insecure when he spends time with an attractive girl, this show you are on low self-esteem because you do not talk with any guy yourself. Go out with your friends, meet guys, and flirt with them when your BF is not around. Talking with a sexy guy does not mean you want to have sex with him. And you will trust your BF more.
- You feel everyone has bad influence on them
Your guy was way different before he met you. He may have a few bad friends. Instead of asking him to avoid his friends, help him learn from his mistakes. When he is bitching about them, subtly reveal a few flaws of his friends.
- You do not like him spending time with his friends
If your man is spending too much of time with his friends, it could be for two reasons, either he is spending too much of time with you already or he thinks you are easily available. You feel lonely because you have nothing to do apart from being with him. Have your own life and make him want to spend more time with you.
- You are suspicious
If your man wishes to have an affair, he will do it any way. Your boyfriend loves you for who you are and meeting any sexy lady will not make him think of you less. The more suspicious you get, the more he will want to cheat on you.
- You think your relationship needs to be improved
Relationships or people are not perfect. If you are not happy in your relationship, it is better you walk out instead of trying to change the other person according to you. Be frank and bring up the problem without being frustrated. Do not force him to change.
- You want is attention all time
You just want his attention all the time. Being is GF does not mean that he does not have any other interest. You are two INDIVIDUALS who are in love. You do not owe each other. Do not think that you are the only one who puts efforts. This will make him think you are one clingy girlfriend. Keep yourself busy doing what you love and he will sure come to you.
- You want to stay in touch all time
Do not push someone to do what you want. If he is not too much into being in contact 24*7, do not force him. You can tell him about what you are doing, but do not ask him about what he is doing. Keep the calls short. If he gets the hint and likes these short calls, he will start doing the same.
- You cannot accept the fact that his life does not revolve around you only
You might feel frustrated knowing that you are not the center of his world. Instead of nagging and fighting with him over this, make him want you more. Keep yourself busy so that he misses you. When you will not be easily available to him, he will love you and appreciate you and want you more.
- You think he does not love you as much as you do
Unless you’re in a relationship where both of you want to spend every minute together, you need to take a step back and let him live his own life. Talk to him about what makes you feel that he does not love you enough and hear his reasoning for it with an open mind. If you feel like both of you have different priorities in love, rethink the status of the relationship.
