    that's not true, the true situation is if guy doesn't love the girl then he pulls away when she shows interest.

    It's because the guys were not interested anymore, probably were just looking to get laid and didn't want anything other than that.

    Because he's either not interested in you or you are more interested in him than he is in you. This is a human thing, not a guy thing.

      @Nazgol Don't make the mistake of thinking this anon guy's comment about "hunting" is normal. It's not. Most guys don't see it that way at all and appreciate when a woman shows interest them if they are interested in her.

      You don't have a fucking clue why I'm called that. It's not what you think in your petty little mind, and it's not something you would have any clue about, which is not surprising given your general cluelessness about women.

      Don't you think it's more exciting if a woman doesn't give you pussy right away on the 1st date but makes you squirm a bit and is a hard nut to crack before you can have sex with her?

      I didn't think of that as "hunting." I also thought hunting was a very uncomfortable term.

      My opinion is from the fact that it's not fun to try to get a woman who isn't interested in you.

      I pretty much just meant the face value of what I said. A lot of guys have experiences with women where they thought the woman was expressing interest in him, and it turned out that she was just being friendly. Lots of women also like leading guys on.

      I agree with both. But what is considered clingy?
      What if she's just genuinely excited to talk to him, and does this a lot, and she's also not afraid to communicate her feelings. It's not obsessive or desperate... So when would that be clingy? Maybe he's scared of showing feelings, or commitment

      @SnowyOwl i guess clingy could be both good and bad. A sign of being committed and interested, but could also be a sign of desperation and a lack of independence.
