Depends on what you mean by clingy. A guy who responds quickly, shows interest in seeing you, and likes to touch you is great especially when there’s some yearning thrown in. A dude who’s desperate, insecure, doesn’t value personal space or boundaries, and is super needy isn’t.

im not a clingy person myself. i’ve even been described as avoidant or even detached at times. im extremely independent and really appreciate my own space. i absolutely adore my boyfriend but id be overwhelmed and uncomfortable if he was texting me all day every day and asking to see me all the time. i have a busy schedule and need alone time

Clingy guys are good, controlling and obsessive can be a bit much though

Because clingy guys make me feel like their mother and that's disgusting

I’m talking about guys that re obsessed with their partner and always want to be around them, touching them (not sexually per se but like cuddling), lots of texting etc, because as a guy I want that from a girl but I find it’s something women don’t like in guys in my experience

I thought being clingy and obsessed are hand in hand? And I def don’t mean controlling, just like someone who wants to hangout constantly and be with you constantly and do things together all the time

Sometimes the issue isn’t the action but how you’re doing it and why. I’d say my bf is kinda obsessed with me but he still has healthy boundaries, his own hobbies, and values his alone time. That’s a pretty different vibe then someone who’s obsessed because they’re desperate to be with you (or in a relationship), don’t have anything else going on in their life, and are co-dependent.

Clingy and obsessed are totally different. Clingy I view was wanting to cuddling or spending time together. But obsessive is when they won’t leave you alone or are constantly in your space.
