Bf(m18) explicitly said he wants me (f18) to be more clingy. He says he wants me to initiate dates because he “always wants to hangout” and can always change his schedule for me. He has also told me that he wants me to text and call him more because he usually texts first and doesn’t want to bother me.

He’s said he’s worried about coming across as clingy in the relationship and “doesn’t want me to get sick of him”. Sometimes when we’re making out or cuddling, it feels like he won’t let me go when I pull away

I know my boyfriend is insecure, he gets jealous easily and seems to put me on a pedestal.

Part of this is my fault for being a bit closed off, as it takes me a long time to feel comfortable with people and showing vulnerability.

I’m not sure if this is healthy or if we are compatible. Everything else about him is perfect, but I wish he was more secure and assertive with me. He’s so scared of doing something wrong that it’s almost a turn off
