Being clingy

Rach91

Hello through lockdown I decided to do some online dating not thinking I would meet anyone nice but I have done. I met a guy that I really like and he likes me as well. We haven’t met yet as he been busy in work but I have his phone number. I feel I’m to clingy if I text him and he doesn’t reply I get paranoid or I get over excited if he texts me. I don’t want to be like this as I’m afraid I will push him away I am also afraid that if we do get closer I’m going to mess things up. Is this normal for an autistic adult to behave and if so how can I control it.

  • you could just as easily be neurotypical  I mean yep thats a normal reaction, a wee bit over the top because you havent met him yet. Its ok to be paranoid and and over excited and to be clingy. The sooner you meet the better,  remember he may be anxious as well so take it cool. 

    Thats it,  be cool. 

    PS I'm happy for u --- A girl mate of mine told me she met her husband on line --- they are such a nice pair
