How do I say sorry for being too clingy?

Question

I was too clingy on my crush and now he want even text me anymore. He said in the beginning that he liked me and now he is ignoring me? I don't understand?

I did a similar thing.
I had sex with a friend who I had always liked, but totally freaked out afterwards. I did send him too many messages, I got myself in a tizz, he didn't reply so I'd send him more. He probably thought I had gone crazy.

I stopped the messages and just gave him space for a month. I then bought some chocolates saying sorry, wrote a card that just said 'i didn't mean to act so stupid, I didn't want to ruin things, sorry' and dropped it to where he works. I didn't intend on seeing him but he came out, I was actually shaking I really thought he hated me. Or just thought I was a twat. He knew I had been going through some shit when it happened and said I just gave you some space to figure things out. And gave me a big hug. So it can work out!

Keep positive x x

How do you know it's bc you were clingy?

Can you tell us what you think clingy is?

If you say you don't understand then you can't be fully confident you know what's going on.

Also a lot of people just use clingy as an excuse not to talk just bc they don't feel like it. Or bc it gives them a power high.

Don't go apologizing just bc you like someone... It's not like you hurt him.

Don't apologize because it will make you appear more clingy. Just ignore him back and try hard to keep busy. Let him talk to you instead. After all you dont want to bother someone who has not interest in you.

If you say sorry at a certain time you are possibly still being too clingy.
You need to make sure Its the right time to tell him and that your alone and in good spirits. You need to try really hard to be mature and just be like "hey man I just wanted to say I'm sorry for being such a stalker, I just think you are really cool and I got all caught up. give him a slap on the shoulder and laugh while you walk away with a small tear in your eye. You will feel a lot better after you do the things that you think will make you feel better. good luck and don't be too clingy when your telling him haha ; )

Being clingy is a delicate thing. It's definitely a way for a guy to know a girl wants him, and sometimes it can be over the top. But I recommend not apologizing, and instead just dial it back. He might not be ignoring you for that anyways (could be any of a number of reasons). Try letting it rest, and then go back with a creative twist... like say you were thinking about him, so you decided to text and see how he's doing.

First, everyone is different. I was always independent. Clingy woman are often seen as a threat to that. Specially early on in a relationship. As a guy you find yourself wondering what is coming next?  Friday  Night with the boys, soccer on Saturday or Sunday (not both), those were my days. Now, I put no constraints on her, that would be unreasonable, but she preferred to sit at home and sulk. It did not last. I think that ThinkingHead probably came up with the best suggestion. I will add just one thing, you should also look inside yourself and try to discover why you are like that. Is it insecurity, jealousy or what?

You're very young. accept that some people will have different relationship energy levels. If yours and his aren't compatible, find someone whose is. It's cliche', it's trite, but there are other fish in the sea and you shouldn't feel the need to change yourself for anyone.

Yeppeeee · Answer

Don't say sorry, and don't change for nobody. He don't like it he can find some other girl that don't care. If he don't realize what he has he's undeserving

chrisbigman · Answer

I think you meant "won't", not "want". Anyways, I hate to say it, but I don't think you can get with your crush anymore. Unless, you can see him in person, forget about him. If you can see him in person, go up to him and tell him that you're really sorry. But don't tell him why, especially if you two are in front of people. Tell him you want another chance. If he still rejects you then, then I guess you for sure can't be with him.

WWLifeBegin · Answer

Don 't say sorry, just act aloof instead, make him wonder why you are not clingy anymore, then he will want to chase you again. When you are clingy, you give him control over you... try the aloof strategy for a bit, alternate.

sharesthis · Answer

Don't apologize, just pretend it never happened and then act less clingy. Otherwise I'm afraid you might have scared him off.

evemitchelll · Answer

What I think you should do is definitely no text him you're sorry, because obviously he will ignore it. What I would do is go up to him when he is alone, so he doesn't show off in front of his mates, and just say that you're sorry for being clingy. He may or may not accept it, but at least you tried

planetary · Answer

If you say sorry for being clingy you are recognizing that you are clingy and being even more clingy in the process.

classybabe · Answer

you're only 16, you have plenty of time to find another crush and to learn to not be clingy. Dont worry.

posted · Answer

You don't, if he's already ignoring you another message cements it.

Tokana · Answer

Don't apologize since it will only put him on a higher pedestal. Pretend it never happened and just give him more space and let him go after you.

Some guys like clingy but those guys are the dominant type and will want you to do what they ask you to. Just fyi

etpige · Answer
