- generally, if one person is much more into the relationship then the other, they will seem 'clingy'. That doesn't necessarily mean they _are_ clingy, just that their feelings are different. I spoke to someone here recently how said she felt she must be clingy since she wanted to see a guy she loved every day. If that makes you clingy, apparently every couple that gets married is clingy, because that's usually part of the deal.
- beyond that though, it IS healthy to have things you do on your own or separately. Different couples will have different expectations of what that is. This is an issue of compatibility.
- are there truly needy/clingy people? Yes. They are fundamentally _insecure_. They want to be deep in a relationship, not because they've found a perfect match, but because they cannot feel good about themselves on their own. They want to be together all the time because they need constant reassurance. If you want to be together because you are anxious apart, NOT because you simply want to be with them, then that is 'needy' and you should work on that by tackling your own insecurities and not using others (or trying to) to cover them up.
you've answered your own question - a girl is clingy, annoying and needy if she is all of those things.
basically though, its a girl that won't give her boyfriend space. a relationship is great, but space and a life outside that couple is incredibly important too. what would I do? I tend to like independant, almost fiecely so, girls so it's never been an issue. maybe I'd just comment that I like being with her but we both need other things in our lives as well. if she didn't get that, end of relationship, sorry.
I once met a guy, exchanged phone numbers and then started receiving nearly 100 texts a day. He mostly kept asking when I wanted to see him again. I wasn't that interested in him and he was smothering me! That is what I consider clingy! But on the other hand, if I really liked the guy, I could text with him all day and would love to see a lot. I think clingy people are the ones that can't take a hint. They don't realize when to take a break and back off a little bit. They are too available, and don't really ever want to do things on their own. I agree with kheserthorpe, it is almost as if they NEED constant re-assurance.
I feel if there is someone I am interested and I text them three days in a row, I am being clingy. Or if each time I see him, I want to make plans to hang out. There are different levels, each person is different and responds to it differently.
Not being able to handle your sig. other having a life of their own, despite the fact that you trust them. People in relationships will spend time apart, they will want to do different things now and then. They will not need to communicate when they are busy doing other things. It's natural. Clingy people can't handle that.
The best way to solve it is to invest some time into personal hobbies and interests.

What? lol
You need to proofread.. better? Anyway..
I think that once sex has happened, hormones and such are released that have a contributing factor in wanting to be close and such for the female. Just my opinion. I've also read that in various places.
