How do I control my emotions and stop being clingy?

This post ties to my previous post about me being clingy to this girl I like [ Here it is: http://help.com/post/246866-ive-been-... and now she is not talking to me. We have not talked to each other for a month now [ we say hi to each other once in a while but no conversation ], except the day I sent her a gift for valentine’s day which she really liked. Lately, I’ve been trying to get myself together and doing all I can to make things right again, mostly looking at myself.

On my time alone, I’ve been trying to get involved in a lot more stuff than I usually do just so I won’t act as clingy as I was. But it just seems to be doing no good. I don’t value the stuff I used to get into as much as I should anymore. All I can really think about is her…..which is really scary.

I feel like I’m hitting brick walls here. Can anyone help me and give me advice on how I can just stop being so clingy?

Yeah, you shouldn’t be too obsesed with someone you like, some people may think of you as a stalker. Maybe it’s one of those relationships that moves alittle slower then most.

Sometimes….it helps to try and talk to other girls for a while. I hope everything works out for ya with this gal….but worse case scenario, if it doesn’t it will be a great learning experience.

I can’t find your previous post so I can’t really advise you on what to do different. Can you give me the short version and maybe I can help from a girl’s point of view.

That pretty much what this one came off of.

To be honest that really doesn’t sound all that clingy. It really sounds like the way mu hubby and I acted when we first hooked up. We would actually wake up early to wish the other one good morning and we would talk while we had coffee.

It really sounds to me like she just got scared of how close you two were becoming and she is not ready for a serious relationship. I hate to say it, but get out and meet some new people that are into talking and communicating because to me her actions seem a little flaky.

Thank you for this post, I am in the same boat. Except for the fact that the woman in question is my wife. We are separated, but live in the same apartment for financial reasons. I am trying my best to recover our relationship, but she says she doesn’t want that, And my emotions are getting the best of me.
I am by nature a very emotional guy, and the stress of not being her “Man” is amplifying all feelings involved, on both sides. I never cry,EVER! Except when we fight about out relationship.. Then I turn into a big suck.
I HATE it but I can’t seem to get a grip on it. She is the only part of my life that makes me so frustrated I cry. And all I can ask myself is, “How do I fall out of Love?”
