Last week everything was great between us but I admit I was being really clingy I IMed him every 5 seconds wrote him tons of emails and called him every hour but now this week hes avoiding me could it be because of me being clingy and him needing space or am I over reacting?

I'm sure you're just over-reacting...but what I do when my boyfriend starts doing that is I don't talk much at all for a few days...let him approach you...you don't gotta be the only one puttin in effort...make sure he cares enough to notice when you're acting different.

It could be.



He may not be thinking "boy she was clingy last week." But he just may have lots of things to take care of and at a certain point you have to turn off the instant messenger and get your work done.



Use this time to review how you communicate. When you call him on the phone, etc, do you actually have something to say, When you call 40 times a day, nothing has a chance to happen in either of your lives that is so great you can't wait to tell the other. Because you are on the phone or IM'ing eachother and are not out there experiencing life. As they say absence makes the heart grow fonder.



Even if that just means only calling him once a day (if you don't see him in person that day) not really leaving

IF you like him don't stop communication completely, but make plans with girlfriends or with your family sometimes too and don't always be available every moment of the day.

You're kidding?



hmmm...



Oh no, you didn't do anything wrong.



You should have IMed him every 2 seconds and called him every thirty minutes. You obviously didn't show him you liked him enough so he's upset by your lack of attention.



...but seriously...



thats pretty steep...why don't you try calling him and leaving him this message...



Hi, I know I really zoned and called you a lot. I'm sorry, but I really like you, and if you can forgive me for being overzealous, I really would like to try to see you and get to know you. But, if he doesn't call, don't get upset. Just chalk it up as a learning experience and move on.



Try watching "How to lose a guy in ten days". Good Movie and there are some good tips on "what not to do"...



wow...

it could be just that. give him space, dont be so clingy,

let him chase you., the things that you are doing stop.and

let him call you. email.etc. see how that works.

Yes, give him some space...don't make him feel he should follow everything you said...
