I've been doing a lot of thought and observation and I've come to the conclusion that neediness or appearing needy or clingy is all in your mind. Now I don't mean you're imagining it when the girl thinks you're needy. I mean you come across as needy because you feel you do. Like if I was to say I love you with different inflections in my voice, the person would read it differently. Same thing with my actions. The actions/text messages/phonecalls/whatever aren't needy in and of themselves, but depending on your thoughts and feelings they come across that way. It's only as awkward as you make it sort of thing.

I know a guy who gets tons of beautiful looking women and I once asked him when I was younger how much was it okay to call a girl if she didn't answer. He says he usually does it about 20 times a day no more. I thought that's ridiculous and a bit stalker-ish, but it works for him because in his mind hell no it's not needy.

You have to sort of reign in your girl, like a bull. If you like talking on the phone and she doesn't call her anyways. When she bitches and says I don't like talking on the phone say well I do so put a smile on your face. You lead the way and if you decide to do that by texting her the next day if you asked her a question and didn't hear back, then hey if you don't feel it's needy it won't come across as needy.

Ever call in sick to work? If you feel you came across as fake it's a good possibility your boss thinks you did as well. I've found most women don't inherently think you're needy, and whatever your actions, if you do them with confidence and with the intent to lead, you won't come across as needy. Meek is needy.

If I'm driving and I make a right turn with my foot on the pedal and the steering wheel in my hand I know how to make a right turn. But if I eek my way around the corner, lightly pushing on the pedal to test the waters, full of fear, it's going to show a difference from anyone watching outside. And it pisses people off. Actions are not needy. I see too many guys on here and other sites and I've been guilty of it myself, doubting is this needy is this clingy is this wrong, and I say you're reading way too much into it. If you feel it's what you want to do then do it. Inner Game means you don't doubt that your actions are in and of themselves the right actions.
At least that's my opinion on it.
