Read More »Be on your way, Mr NeedyNo woman likes a man who keeps needing reassurance. Here's how you can change the cycleglynda.alves@timesgroup.comNeedy men are a big turn off for women. Don't believe us? Just take a look at Justin Bieber. Constantly posting old pictures of his ex Selena Gomez turned out to be a misguided attempt to get back together. Whether you've broken up and are now trying to win her back or if you're simply the kind of guy who can't get a girl to stay for too long, being needy and clingy is not the answer. Here's how to kick that trait to the curb:The reason for neediness usually stems from trust issues. Maybe you were hurt in the past, but that is no reason to doubt your current love interest. When meeting a new crush, try to be cool, calm and collected. Don't assume the worst of someone, give them a fair chance. If she doesn't call when she says she will, maybe she's forgotten. Don't hound her or ask a million questions. Keep in mind that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. It will go a long way in helping you maintain good relationships, even with friends, without coming across as desperate.Neediness often arises when you are not completely confident about yourself. Low self-esteem and neediness go hand-in-hand. One way to banish it is to boost your feelings towards yourself. You need other things in your life to make you happy — not just your romantic partner. Having a full life is a great way to boost your confidence. Make it a point to get out, meet your friends and even improve your appearance. It helps to be single for a while so that you can learn to be happy with yourself instead of basing your happiness on the woman in your life.Stop needing and start wanting. The minute you register this shift internally, it shows on the outside. A guy who needs something is often looked at as weak and well, needy. But if you just want it, it is automatically seen as driven and strong. When a woman feels wanted as opposed to needed, she'll realise that you feel your life is great as it is, but she would make it nicer. Then you appear more attractive. Don't blame us, we didn't make the rules.It's great to be told you look dapper in your new suit. It's lovely to hear that you've been missed. But when you constantly need to be told that you are great and that she won't leave you — it's going to drive anyone crazy. Women don't want to be with a guy who is so unsure about everything in his life.

Read More »According to 2020 OKCupid data on 6,000 people shared with mindbodygreen, 62% of people think you should say "I love you" "as soon as you feel it," whereas 22% think you should wait "several months," and 3% think you should wait "at least a year." On average, research has found men take about three months to say "I ...
In general, if two people love each other, it doesn't matter who says "I love you" first. If you're not sure whether your partner feels the same way you do, you can still tell them how you feel—just be mindful of why you're doing it. If you just want to let them know where your heart is at and don't mind whether or not your feelings are reciprocated, go for it. "There is so much taboo around what 'I love you' means and who we say it to," Brown-James says. "I suggest taking a bit of time to inventory your feelings. Honoring your feelings of vulnerability is risky and can be scary. It is, however, a way to build intimacy." That said, Manly points out that those three little words can carry a lot of weight for some people, so it's worth considering how your confession might affect them and your relationship. "A person's proclamation of love can bring a 'not-so-ready' person closer, yet it can also scare someone away," she says. If it's important for you to have the other person love you back, Manly recommends paying attention to body language cues as well as the other types of language they use to describe how they feel about you. "Couples often test each other out by paying attention to key phrases such as 'I'm catching feelings for you,' 'I really like you,' or 'I feel so close to you,'" she says. "Notice if these precursors to 'I love you' are in play. If they are, it may be the right time to voice how you feel."
