Are you needy?

Yes, neediness is a turn off. We're not talking about when you need him to shift the furniture or move heavy boxes/suitcases. We're talking about when you need him to be there all the time and therefore stick to him like Velcro!

No one wants to suffocatingly clingy girlfriend who he has to lie to/avoid so he can maybe plan a guys' night out or even have a conversation with someone else at a party.

So, are you needy? Check for these signs:

His approval is everything

We all love it when our man takes care of us, but some women can become unhealthily dependent on their boyfriends/husbands. Men have their own problems without having to solve yours too!

Asking his opinion about hair cuts, pedicures and shopping is enough to drive him crazy. Unless it's something you really need his input for - like planning a holiday, the weekend, how to handle money issues - take it from us, men don't really don't give care that much!

He's your ticket to fun

You don't need to spend every minute together. Learn to spend time with your friends - do your own thing and give him his space too. If you rely on him too much, you'll be spending weekends home alone when he has to go out of town on business, work late nights or even spend some time with his friends! So don't cling to him for your entertainment.

You analyse everything he does

Man is a simple creature, so don't read too much into his actions. For example, if he doesn't say "I love you" after every conversation, it doesn't mean he's breaking up with you. Or if he is out of town every week that doesn't mean he is having an affair, he might just be working harder to buy a diamond ring so he can propose to you!

A little trust is a good thing and taking things at face value saves you a lot of mental trauma.

I'm his little Koala bear

Clinging on to him in public all the time is annoying (for him). And don't introduce him as your boyfriend/husband and cling to him unless he initiates it.

It might be obvious to everyone that you are a couple but compulsory hand-holding, continuous
