Women become clingy for different reasons but usually it has to do with the relationship we’ve has with our parents and our past romantic partners. This neediness can lead to your mate feeling frustrated and can lead to him ending your relationship. So that you can avoid a dating disaster, here are some tips to stop being clingy and reduce the neediness factor in your relationship.

Plan Your Together Time. Do you know when you’ll see him or talk to him again? If you don’t know you’ll be more anxious about your relationship. Have regular planned time together. A regular time to call or text, a date night, a regular day trip. It’s importand for both of you to make this time a priority.This planned time together can help decrease clingy behavior and give you something to look forward to.

You must learn how to trust him. You shouldn’t think “what if?” when you’re not together. Don’t worry about what might happen if he sees a prettier woman, if he sees his ex or if he’s on the phone with a woman. The “what ifs?” can drive you crazy. You need to focus on “what is?”. You need to remember waht your relationship is, what values it’s based on and stop stressing what might happen. Focus on the things that you know are true, not what you imagine. If he’s given you reason to think there may be a reason not to trust him, then that’s something you both need to talk about.

Have a life of your own. Before you started dating, you had friends, hobbies and things that you did with your friends. You become more dependent on him when you center everything you do around him because he becomes your source of happiness. The only person what can make you happy is you. Keep up with your friends and family, keep active with your hobbies and activites. You’ll be happier. You’ll be less fixated on him and you’ll have things to talk about.

Remember how wonderful a woman you are. Remember why he was first attracted to you. You’re smart and beautiful and fun. Remember you’re an amazing woman. If you have a problem believing this, write it down, repeat it throughout the day. Go around people that make you feel good and do things that make you feel good. You need to feel good about yourself. Confidence is sexy and makes you more attractive , and he’ll notice.

If you know why you’re being clingy, let him know. If he’s doing things that make you feel like you don’t matter, it’s time for the two of you to talk. When a woman doesn’t feel secure in their relationship, they start showing needy and clingy behaviors. Talk it out. You need to know if he didn’t realize how you felt, or if he’s just not into you. If he refuses to work on improving your relationship, you need to decide if you really want to stay with him.

Remember in the end you need to do what’s best for you, not him. So stop being needay and clingy and become a cool, confident woman.
