See I don"t. I like having someone around. I"m not sure that"s clingy or needy, necessarily. If I enjoy someone"s company, I"m not going to mind just hanging out and doing nothing. Obviously, some folks aren"t like that, and I"ve certainly dated girls who I really needed a break from sometimes but that usually arose from some other defect in the relationship. Everyone has days where they just need time off, but I"m not one of those people that needs it very often.
Take today. We texted back and forth while we were both at work for pretty much the entire day not really talking about anything in particular. She had a slow day, and so did I, and it was a way to pass the time. I don"t really think it"s because she needed to talk to me specifically, or I to her. It was just a diversion. Since the work day ended, neither of us has tried to contact the other. Clingy, to me, would have been spazzing out over why the other person stopped talking.
