Clingy

Again I’m stealing time… but then again it’s almost knock off time and I’ve exhaust my brain for the day, so I figure I’ll recharge myself by writing something.

A few days ago a good friend of mine had confided about her relationship. It wasn’t such a big thing but it had gotten us to start a very interesting conversation about “How clingy is clingy?” In a nutshell her boyfriend felt that she was too clingy and not giving him the space he needed. It came as a surprise to her since she felt that she had given him ample room and she didn’t feel that she was clingy at all.

To me it sounds really familiar, as a renowned drama queen my exes would happily testify about my clingy-ness and my over analyzing. But of course the question is what is considered as being too clingy? Does expecting a call at least once a day is considered as clingy while you’re apart? Or is one call a day Ok but expecting a call every morning and night is clingy? If you ask me, a call every morning and night is still Ok even when you’re busy. But then again of course I’m a girl and I like receiving those ‘no reason’ phone calls. I guess it’s flattering to know that someone is thinking of you even at his busiest time. After all what’s a 3 minutes call? A mere sms or a 3 minutes call only takes a tiny fraction of one’s time. Hey if it’s me I would spare 3 minutes to sms even at my busiest time I mean one would still need a break and sms ing someone I like is a good enough break for me.

Buuttt, the flaw of this argument is that again I’m not a guy. All guidebooks would tell you that guys doesn’t function the same way as girls are (believe me, I read tons of those books). Basic example generally guys are known to be poor multi taskers and girls can do 3 things in one time. So just because I would happily sms someone I like during my break it doesn’t mean it can be applied to a guy. Don’t ask me what a guy will think about this. Whether like me he’d also feel that sms ing someone he likes is as good break as anything or he prefer not to be distracted at all. I’m not a guy after all, but I guess the message is that we are just different creatures. Hence to answer the question of how clingy is clingy, well I guess you and your partner have to works it out since no same formula can be applied.

Oh one last thing don’t trust my word too much ok, since you who know me would know already I’m hopeless in relationship department. I just hope Mr.W doesn’t read this, or if you do… no it’s not about us babe, but if you want to call me more often I’d be happy to receive your calls hohohohoho….
