The majority are plates from dating apps, they're great but when the connection is semi-long distance (she's at a city an hour over) it gives clingy a whole new meaning.

What does she expect? I do talk to other women, and not because I'm hitting them up, I'm not even the cream of the crop. It feels like it comes from some insecurity that they have.

I've often tried to tell them that even though I work with other women, I'll still be loyal and talking to you. I'm not sure how else to word it because I'm a dumbass and that's why I'm asking for advice.

I've had several cases where they were so into themselves that they suspect every long silence from texting equates to cheating on them. The context is that we met from online dating.

A few things that have helped was when I started blocking them or deleting them after we've met. But I still had numerous plates just break because of their hysteria, I haven't been able to find anyone in my city yet but long distance is perfect if the woman is not clingy.

I don't want to be having to call her every single night or reply to her text right away, it just gets a little irritating and makes me want to just get more plates instead of giving her calls for exclusivity more attention. We haven't even been dating for a month and I've gotta keep growing, but it's suffocating at the same time.

Is there a way to condition or just build trust with the plate? How should I go about communicating this? Hi, I know you probably assume I talk to other women but boy, it takes me awhile to find a better one like you, but at the same time, you're suffocating me a little
