Do you enjoy receiving clingy texts?

[fonduegirl]

[HawkPerception]

Some are good and some are bad.


"Hey... you haven't texted me in like 2 hours. Is everything okay? Are you mad at me?" Neutral (It might be a little insecure, but a good partner wouldn't see it as a big deal to ease their mind)

"What are you doing? Who are you with? Send me a pic 😊" Neutral (Again, might be a little insecure, but sending a pic to ease their mind shouldn't be that big of a deal)

"I just miss you so much right now. I can't focus on anything. What are you thinking about?" Good (Just shows they miss you and want to know what's going on in your head. A loving partner would happily share)

"Good morning! 😘 Did you sleep well? What's your plan for today? Tell me every detail!" Good (maybe a little excessive on the every detail)



"I just sent you that funny video. Why haven't you laughed at it yet? 🙁" Bad (Everyone has a life and shouldn't have to watch a video their partner sent asap. Although, if they've used the app recently and willfully ignore it, it might be sign they're feeling distant)

"You read my message 10 minutes ago but didn't reply. Is something wrong?" Neutral (They might be on to something here. Being left on read can sometimes be a sign something's up.)

"I'm having a really bad day. I need you to call me RIGHT NOW to make me feel better." Bad (We all have lives and this does not respect your partner's time at all. It's inconsiderate and selfish)



"I saw a picture of a wedding dress that would look perfect on me. Just imagining our day! 💍" Good (They're in love and imagining a future together. Unless you have commitment issues, I only see this being cute)

"I don't like that you're going out with your friends without me. I'll just be home alone and sad." Neutral (It's honest and blunt, but sometimes you just want time alone with your friends to shoot the shit. It's nice to hear that they love your company)

"I deleted all my social media apps because you're the only one I need to talk to. You're my whole world." Neutral (Social media is fine as long as you use it healthily. Not for validation and getting attention. It's nice to know that you like being exclusive and are not giving others attention though. Can't imagine guys really complaining their girlfriend being off of social media)



"I guess you're just too busy for me. It's fine, I'll just talk to the wall." Bad (Insecure, needy, and manipulative)

"Saw you liked Jessica's photo. She's really pretty, huh? Have fun talking to her instead." Bad (insecure, needy, and manipulative)

"If you really loved me, you'd want to text me all the time like I do." Neutral (It might be too much for some peopple, but there may be some truth to this. You make time for the people you want in your life and if you really love talking to someone, you'd want to talk to them pretty damn often, if not all the time. However, they do need to understand boundaries, space and alone time, and work)

only a little bit... too much and most especially if im at work and it does aggravate me a bit. like just chill until i got a break at least lol

[Bitter_Sweet94]

It depends on the context.

A thoughtful message is nice, but constant clinginess feels suffocating.

I appreciate attention that respects space and trust as much as it shows care.

[rosemilk]

nooo thank u. i've had my fair share of those, hate it. especially when they're like "um you haven't answered in 2 minutes, why?" "?"

[Simslover92]

Not necessarily clingy, but showing a keen interest and being very romantic I do enjoy.

[jmr2191]

Yes- they are very endearing- even uplifting. However, there is a caveat. If the clinger is quick to anger, frustration, or anxiety without prompt response to every text- especially at certain times of day and night depending on schedule, this becomes an issue of trust. When a trust issue is at play, it goes from cute to unhealthy. Expressing affection is awesome- using affection expression response time as a reassuring crutch for one's own issues is not.

That being said, there is a responsibility for the recipient to respond in kind within a reasonable amount of time- taking into consideration the amount of messages, space to breathe and daily/nightly responsibilities.

[aaron13547]

Yes and no. I do very much if its done correctly... But I also dont want to be the thing you have to have to be happy. It can go both ways. There is a super fine line for me

I want it to be like - I wish you were here to see what im doing it would be more fun that way.

I don't like it to be like - I miss you and want to go to the gym but I can't without you when can we go together.

[Kaneki05]

Of course, though without the ability to understand why someone may not reply right away will become annoying at some point so the best is clingy but understanding the rare find

[Nikki1989]

I have messaging disabled on my personal phone, and so do most of my friends. We actually talk to each other—crazy, I know!

[YourExLover69]

Yes. Currently I'm single and no one is clingy and chatty. But I love quick replies, romantic chats, words of confirmation but not repetitive texts.

[TallAnon]

There's a limit; I once talked with a girl that expected me to respond quickly and would get paranoid if I didn't respond within ~30 minutes.
I broke that off. (Bit of a situationship for a few years)

[PeachyPie93]

If I seriously like the guy I don't care if he sends me a little bit clingy texts but if they are blaming or over the top then I'd ditch him quick..

[DryGermanGuy]

Not like this, anyway:

[Zionne]

Yep, especially if it comes from my boyfriend. Not too clingy ofc.

[WhitneySnow]

Not super clingy, but I love getting texts that just show the person has been thinking of me

[Anonymous]

For me “clingy” is a guy who shows emotion every once in a while.. (when it’s genuine)

[Noredcarpet]

No, I don't. I am not a big text fan to begin with.

[lilBigPotato]

Within moderation they can be nice every now and then... But not permanently

[Dina88]

Just enough not to much from my girlfriend let each other we appreciate each other. And safety reason.

[loveslongnails]

If I say yes, will you send me clingy texts, or message me in DM?

[WonderingManII]

I would say no but I don't have much experience with texts.

[MysticDevice]

Sometimes and sometimes not. There's a lot of factors to consider

[Jerre]

That all depends on how clingy they are. If they are in jest and humorous, i like them. If not, I do not care for them.

[snermcger]

If I haven't hit it yet or if I really like the chick.

[jordanb8989]

It depends on who it is and if i’m interested. I like someone clingy in moderation if i’m interested in them.

[RavVid]

I am fairly OK with girls being clingy.

[Anonymous]

What about those "I love you" tiktok messages?
You like those?

[queenofcardio]

Sometimes yeah depending on the text

[Chazmatazz269]

I loathe it.

[abc3643]

No. Men want a partner, not a project.

[beenherebefore]

Is nice once in a while.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Sure I don't see an issue with it

[Bloodparadise]

I like clingy... as long as it is not scary

[blackeagle007]

They cause my hair to fall out

[ABC1x1x]

A little. I prefer sloppy head.

[Anonymous]

I never had such texts.

[berserk945]

Depends on the person

[Gagforlifetime]

Depends how busy I am

[Celticwolf78]

Sure nothing wrong with it

[TheInvincible]

Nope

[Grond21]

Like what?

[Clyde_123]

Exactly. Like what? Lol

[Grond21]

Haha, I don't really know. My wife is a little clingy and I really like it. But I don't know what that would look like in a text message

[Anonymous]

No..

[blondfrog]

Only from my wife.

[dudeinohio]

Absolutely

[shortster]

Generally

[Nice222]

Love it.

[krin_m]

Not at all

[Sebastian100]

From partner? Yes

[Jmmmfi4]

Yeah
