In any event, if she begins to withdraw her attention even little, a needy male will respond by wanting and requiring more of her time, affection, and confirmation that she loves him and only wants to be with him. Sometimes, even though he loves you, your guy will not call you or draw away from you since it is what he needs to do as a man. Men unconsciously understand and believe that their relationship and proximity to you does not make them more deserving of being a provider. Emotional intimacy does not always pay the bills or get things done. You've probably heard ladies complain about how their boyfriends can't live without them. While part of you says, "Aww," another part of you wonders how clingy their boyfriend really is. When you get to know a man, you're more than persuaded of the same. Mr. Needy, as we call him, is someone who wants to be around you 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
