Dating a Needy Person

Meeting a new guy or girl is a great feeling. It’s especially wonderful when they are really into you. But what if they are so into you they become needy? What if when you try and leave they act weird or pout? How do you handle a needy person? Here are some tips.

Encourage Mr. or Ms. Needy to Spend Time With Friends

When you spend time away from your needy partner, you’ve got to make sure it’s okay if they have some “me time” as well. So make sure you let your partner know that while you are going out with the boys or having a girls night, you expect your partner to do the same.

Plan Time to Be Get Together

Sometimes needy behavior can be remedied by making plans. If you’re someone that likes to keep your plans up in the air until the last minute, try a different approach. Ask your partner what they’d like to do on Saturday, and set up a time. That way your guy or girl won’t wonder if indeed you’ll have some couple time during the weekend. Once you take care of plans, you can spend time with your pals without guilt.
Find Out if the Neediness Masks Another Issue

If the neediness becomes a real problem, you’ve owe it to your relationship to figure out why. Put yourself in your partner’s shoes. Did you cheat on your partner at one time? Lie to them about your whereabouts? These could be behaviors that cause your partner to get clingy and feel insecure. Talk to them about it. Make sure that your relationship is secure, because eventually the neediness could be a factor in your happiness.
