+1 yobviously within reason and the ideal is a good mix of balance.
1) when a boyfriend is too clingy, not only is it annoying and can mean a lot of different things (psychologically), but when he's falling out of love or has someone else, it'd feel awful seeing/feeling him grow distant in such obvious ways
2) when a boyfriend is too aloof, not only would I not feel invested in and loved/cared for (sometimes even feel used for sex), but I wouldn't even notice (even worse, know him enough) if he grows distant15 Reply- +1 y
I wasn't calling you out or anything and was literally talking in "general sense"
Also, a lot of people have different standards for what they consider clingy (and a lot of the times, without meaning to, I've seen a lot of girls call ex bfs (or guys that didn't work out in their favour) clingy out of bitterness. Its stupid and I agree, but I noticed that those people a lot of the times genuinely don't know that its emotional and not objective) - +1 y
I had an acquaintance that fell in and out of love very easily and would call the guys she "dated" (I'm putting it in quotation marks bc she was basically obsessed with online dating apps) those kinds of names out of bitterness (for ex. would talk about how awesome he is one day and clingy the next when she gets dumped)

I would want it to be a balance of clinginess rather than in between distant and clingy. I don't know if that makes sense. I would want him to show his affection and you know need me but at the same time we have an understanding of each other and what's up and can just be even without eachother from time to time, like not obsessive clingy deranged maniac just you know I need and want you and I know you need and me too
12 ReplyWhat if I have both mushed into one xD I know it sounds weird but my boyfriend is clingy but doesn't care what I do when were together he'll never let go of me when we not together he doesn't necessarily care what I do as long as I'm not cheating or flirting with other guys
14 Reply550 opinions shared on Other topic. I'd rather have someone who doesn't care what I do than a clingy boyfriend tbh, I've always got to have me time otherwise I get super annoyed with whoever it is

11 ReplyA mixture of both. I'd like to have a boyfriend that is clingy but still gives me enough space to do my things (aka hobbies and such or night with the girls.)

+1 yI'd rather tell both to get railed while I find an even-tempered man.
31 ReplyI think a clingy boyfriend is kinda cute haha, but not too much like doing pda all the time. He still should know the limits.

yup! also protective but gives you freedom. It's about trust anyway. But for the clingy part, maybe when we're alone, it isn't really pleasant to be very clingy in public, holding hands is okay since it's an indication that he's proud of his girl. But I think it's really cute to be a bit goofy.. well it depends on the girl anyway, just an opinion 😊

ohhh.. not that kind of protective, but I'm glad you are though. I mean someone who will allow me to drink or go travel alone but still tells me to stop drinking too much, gets a bit angry (I think it's cute) when I hitchike, someone who'll tell my limits.
I'm glad you're protective like that though, I can kick ass anyway so that's not the kind of protection I'm telling XD

Just not overly clingy or nosy

+1 yA boyfriend doesn't have to be clingy to care. clingy is controlling
12 Reply- +1 y
A guy can care about u and still have a life of his own. that doesn't mean he doesn't care. that would concern me if he wanted to be around me 24/7 bc that would mean he has no life. thats unhealthy

I think that's not okay. It's okay to give each other a little kiss in public or hug each other, but nothing more than that.

Holding hands is okay

Girls, would you rather have a boyfriend when going to things he doesn't like to do be truthful or lie about the fun he's not having?
