Is it weird for me....

Every relationship I've been in thus far has not had the closeness I'd have liked.. I mean, we'd be affectionate but it wouldn't be one of total need I suppose.... I don't know how to phrase it. Honestly, I always felt that I liked the girls more than they liked me.

Anyways, I started going with this girl who is VERY clingy... and the strange thing is I like it. She sends me text messages saying "I miss you" like once a day. She tells me how much she cares about me all the time. She asks me when she's going out if it's okay. She tells me who she'll be with and if there are more guys, she asks me if I'm okay with it (i always am). And I know some guys get freaked out about it, but I always get a little warm inside when I hear her pine for me..

Is this just a bit weird... or what? I mean, she's cute, reasonably intelligent... I feel like it could work out because our personalities click well.

Just looking for some feedback I spose... I am not going to stop going out with this girl but I am curious to see what people think... different strokes for different folks, just keep in mind 🙂
 
You might like it for about 6 months, but after awhile it gets old esp when you cant do stuff on your own without having to answer to her.
 
My girlfriend was like that when we started going out. Thank god that she stopped it a few months into the relationship.
 
well its the newness of it all..now fast forward a few months..years and you will be pulling your hair out...wondering why she wont leave you alone..

by the way clingy like this implies she will expect he same from you eventually....

she will want to know when and who you are goign out with love messages..etc...etc...otherwise she will start to wonder why the hell should she put in all the work for you when you dont reciprocate
 
It will be difficult when you try to break up with her in 6 months because she is driving you nuts with wanting to be with you every second of every day and when she is not with you sending you text messages and phoning to say she loves you and asks what you are doing and when you are coming over to get her and what are you buying her for her birthday and ......

I see a stalker in your future.
 
Everyone has their own limits as to what they need and can take in terms of demonstrations of affection. It seems you're a bit starved at the moment based on previous relationships, and so that might be causing you to require a bit more constant reassurance than you normally would. Just keep in mind that, as others have said, in a few months you may start to require, or be able to handle, less.

But, in the end, if you're happy then that's all that really matters.
 
Having a clingy girl is a great short term ego boost. But, at least for me, it burns out real quick and becomes annoying.

I truly prefer strong independant women. That, to me, is a bigger ego boost. It means she could be out doing whatever she wants, yet she chooses to spend her time with me.

The difference between the rush of crack and the long term high of a good life I guess.
 
Yeah, it's nice to be wanted, but eventually that clingyness may display itself in other fashions - her nosiness, demanding where you're going, what you're doing, etc. I mean, it's cool if it works, but just be careful, mate.
 
If you like it, you like it. Nothing weird about that, in this case. Don't rush into anything though, as others said, you may hate it after awhile.

She might just be overdoing it right now because she wants the relationship to last. So don't be surprised if in time she tones it down.

I never thought about it like that. Good point 🙂
 
I appreciate the fact that the gf appreciates certain situations that may cause "trouble" and checks in with me first. otherwise, i don't really care as long as it's safe.
