Don't
Be Clingy - Or
You're in Trouble
Clingy-ness. Cling-osity. Clinger. Klingon
- No, sorry, not quite that last one.
What do those three words have in common? Something
that you shouldn't be, that's what.
Many guys are desperate to be in a relationship
- and when they meet a woman that seems interested in them, they
tend to cling to her in a way that is not only unattractive, but
almost 'creepy' in a woman's eyes.
Learning how to not cling to a woman is an
important step. If she thinks that you don't need her, she wants
you more. And besides, who really, truly wants to be clingy?
Don't answer that question.
Don't Call Her 1,000 Times a Day
The first sign of being clingy is keeping in
contact way more than you need to. Don't call her several times
a day - don't call her several times a week, even. Once to twice
every week is enough, trust me.
If you talk too much with a girl, especially
in the early stages, on the phone, you're going to run out of things
to talk about. Fast. Women don't like men to call numerous times.
It's annoying to them, and makes them uncomfortable.
Don't Be Too Available
"Hey, my friend skipped out on me. Want
to go out tonight?" The answer? "Sorry, I've already got
plans."
Why?
Being available at the drop of a hat isn't
good, because it shows her that you're willing to push plans, and
friends, out of the way for her. If you haven't known her that long,
it's weird... she might even think that you're a 'loser' for not
having plans, even though that's just a stupid assumption.
Don't do it then - but make solid plans for
several days in the future. You should not ever
be the guy she calls when she has no one else to go with. Be the
guy that she calls when she wants to go somewhere.
Don't Be Too "Creepy"
There's not a fine line between being
a gentleman and being creepy. There is, in fact, a huge, gaping
chasm - and you need to learn the difference in order to avoid the
clingy routine.
This tip is very general, but use your head.
Don't breathe down her neck when she's making choices, never 'randomly'
pop up somewhere because you really did hack into her online day
planner to find out where she's going, and try not to search for
everything about her online before your first date.
There are just certain things to not do. Try
to keep them in mind when you're doing things if it's 'creepy' or
'odd'. Think about a TV show with a couple. If he wouldn't do it
there, you shouldn't do it.
Overall...
You don't need her. You don't need to be clingy
to be cool - and she certainly won't like you more if you are. Remember
that it will hurt your blooming relationship, and more often then
not, she's going to just say goodbye before anything gets off the
ground.
