I don't want to seem clingy, but end up looking distant instead!

I have a constant problem in all of my relationships. I know that I could potentially seem very clingy in the beginning stages of a relationship, so I back away for a bit. But my ex from 3 years ago (we're just friends now) told methat I always seemed kinda distant in our relationship back then. (Before I get a whole bunch of he wants you back junk, he was just trying to help me after I told him about my break up a few weeks back. There is nothing there anymore.) Can anyone tell me when is a good time to start spend more regular time with a new bf and how regular of contact? I feel I need some sort of timeline for relationship if I'm ever gonna fix this tendency.

 

Thanks for any input,

Roxy

Just wanted to say I hear you on this. I think I make the same mistake. I don't think it's about time; more about attitude and behaviour during the time. I'll be interested in the replies!

I would think that a "one size fits all," arbitrary timeline would ultimately come across as contrived. Perhaps just letting the boyfriend take the lead (I know. Old-fashioned.) and going with what you're truly comfortable with would be and seem more natural.
