11. Being Clingy
A good example of this is when you have a date with someone, they don't hear from you within 24 hours, so you get a text from them that says "Are we ok?"
"We"? There is no "we"! This is called DATING; not WE HAD ONE DATE SO NOW I'M YOUR GIRLFRIEND. Give your date some space and chill out. Not every date is going to hit it out of the ballpark for you, and vice versa. Some people find it easier to avoid the "Let's just be friends" conversation. If you get no phone call or email, then that's the message they're sending.
On the other hand, if you had a good time with someone, it's perfectly fine to text, email, or call them later to say so. Just don't get upset if you don't hear back from them. Yes - returning ones phone call is the polite thing to do, but not everyone does it (and we've all been there).
Here are some clingy behaviors to avoid when it's still early in the game:
*calling every day
*asking to meet the parents
*asking to meet their friends
*sharing too much personal information
*expecting them to help you out emotionally and/or financially
Confidence is sexy; neediness is not. Act accordingly!
