[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not into this level of clinginess.

In my experience, men don't have the kinds of social connections that women do, so as soon as they meet a woman, even it's been one date, and often even in the pre-dating phase if you've met online, they're texting all the time, nattering on about what they had for lunch, what they're doing at the gym, etc. I've had guys I literally just met texting me good morning, sending me photos of their dinner, sending me videos of them at the gym, asking me what I'm doing all the time, texting me good night. It's not flattering and not a sign that they're interested. It's a sign that they have no one to talk to and/or can't bear silence. [/quote]

The reason men do this is because they're carrying 95% of the load of the interaction. It's totally on them to entertain you. You just sit back and expect to be entertained. Your responses to him don't give him much to work with, so he's reduced to nattering on about mundane stuff. He also thinks, rightly or wrongly, that you are getting spammed with texts from lots of other guys, and if he doesn't stay on your radar screen the other guys will drown him out.

If you, as a guy, don't keep sending texts because you don't want to "look clingy" then the conversation will die. Guaranteed. Good luck expecting her to say anything spontaneously to you, because she won't.[/quote]
