Why are younger guys so "clingy?"
| Sat, 01-20-2007 - 8:17pm |
I've been going out with one of my guy friends for the last few weeks, and it still feels wierd! The thing is that he's 19 and I'm 22. It's a bit of a difference, but it matters a lot to me. At least for now. How can I make this work for us? Also, he's a bit "clingy," why? I've NEVER had this kind of attention, and it feels wierd, even though I've wanted it for sooooo long, from someone else! What do I do???

Pianoguy read your post a couple times and came up with the following possibilities:
1. Perhaps the age factor is a little intimidating for your b/f? After all, you're '3 years his senior!'
2. He might be looking for more emotional protection---akin to what a mother might provide to her child?
3. If you're uncomfortable with too much attention...ask him nicely...to "back off!"

It probably feels "clingy" 'cause it's someone else you want the attention from -
what do you mean by clingy in his case - he's wanting to hang out all the time? In which case if he asks about getting together at certain times you can say, sorry, sounds like fun but i already have plans for that nite
