Too Close For Comfort: 7 Signs He Will Be Too Needy

Not happy in his job/friendships/life

A relationship is the simple fix for everything. But not really—people just try to treat it as such. Heartbroken over an ex? Just date someone new! Just moved to a new town and have no friends? Just date someone and cling onto their life! Have no idea what direction to take with your career? Just latch onto a successful person and become their cheerleader—put off your own career until later because theirs will keep you busy enough! Okay: yes, a relationship can be exciting and distracting (key word) and can actually make you feel very happy, even when you were very unhappy before. But not for long. Trying to slap a relationship onto your unsatisfying life is like trying to close up a dam with a band-aid: eventually, it just can’t support the pressure of being the only thing keeping things together! If a guy doesn’t have friends, hates his job, and is overall unsatisfied with the projection of his life, don’t date him. He will turn to you far more than the healthy amount because he’s got nothing else.
