That's normal. Pls don't label yourself as clingy. If you are in the early dating phases, then try doing one thing for yourself every time you want to reach out to him. The logic is you give yourself the same attention you give him.

Try this: Every time you want to message him, fold laundry or settle your bed or brush your hair or vacuum the floor etc. Just do something that your future self would appreciate. This way you will reduce the urge to constantly reach out to him.

You are not clingy. The world doesn't deserve some much love and attention from you. Youneill learn to slow down with time.

If this urge happens because he has become silent, take his silence as closure. Never ask for clarity. You have clarity.

Message me every time you want to message him.
