I'm a sophomore in high school and my new-ish (3 mos.) boyfriend is kind of starting to drive me nuts. I really, REALLY like him, but he texts me about a million times a day and he asks me every. single. day. if I want to hang out with him. Like I said, I definitely like him, but I don't want to spend every waking minute with him and I'm running out of excuses...Help much appreciated :)

Making excuses might not be the best thing because then he will ask you even more. Hang out with him like 2 or 3 times a week. Another thing is if he asks you to hang out with him the day on the day he wants to hang out with you and you have other plans say no. Then he will ask you ahead of time to make plans with you and both of you can hang out. Seems like a plan? Then he won't be so clingy and needy for you. Also hanging out with a boyfriend everyday of the week isn't so good either. And hanging out with him not at all is bad too. Just make sure he plans ahead of time so you know what your doing and so you both can have time for each other during the week. [ miranda_love's advice column | Ask miranda_love A Question ]

Reassure him that everything is fine, You are entitled to your girl time once in awhile. Bring up that you feel that you just need to get out for awhile and spend time with some friends. Communication is important, If you keep bringing up excuses sooner or later he may pick up on it and then there comes the lack of trust. Be honest with him [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]

Making excuses may be making him more insecure and even more clingy.
