Title says it all. I love my girlfriend but good Lord, sometimes I just really want my space. She totally felt that not seeing each other every day was a good thing when we first started our relationship. 8 months in and now it's like she tried to find a way to see me or at least chat everyday. It's not that she doesn't trust me either. I've tried the "oh I have blah blah blah to do" but she still tries to talk or whatever later on that day. I want my damn space! How do you tell her that she's being clingy without hurting her feelings. Yes, without hurting her feelings. You know as much as I do that she'll find a way to be offended.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
How do you tell a girl she's being clingy?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Just be honest with her.
Tell her that she is being clingy and that you need your space.
Everyone needs space from time to time, you're no different.

Yes you just have to be honest with her. Tell her its not about the amount of time you spend together, but the quality of time you spend together. Say something like, when i am with you, i wantto be 100% with you, and to do that i need time away to get everything else sorted.... so you have my undivided attention

Break dates, don't answer calls, don't answer texts, don't respond online. You know, be an ashole.
When she confronts you, tell her to don't be so clingly, otherwise the door is over there, and your boots were made for kicking.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Seriously? Is this what SoSuave's quality of posts has dropped to? Besides, that is the worst advice for this situation because then she'll just become more clingy, or (even worse) get frustrated and leave (in the end).
Thank you Energizer, that was the closest thing to advice so far.
