How to Not Act Clingy & Needy With a Guy
As a general rule, women tend to be more clingy than men in relationships, and some women are much clingier than others. Whether this is because women are "programmed" to be clingy or because men just hide it better, the world may never know. Let's face it, clingy is not attractive. Fortunately, the act of being clingy is easily overcome, and, hopefully, the psychological aspect will follow suit.

Make your own plans. Make plans to see your friends and to focus on your hobbies. If you don't have hobbies, now is the time to pick one up. Men love independent women, and if you're doing something you love, you'll keep your mind off of him, making it much easier to avoid appearing needy.

Trust him. If you are confident that your guy makes smart choices, you don't need to be around all the time to regulate. He'll appreciate that you trust him, creating the foundation for a healthy relationship.
