The solution is either constant conscious effort to prevent harmful behavior, or perhaps finding a partner who is just as clingy as you, and hope that you two don't eventually kill each other from mutually overreacting in an argument. | ||

(a) Make plans that sound fun, not a last resort. Don't say, let's hangout, say, let's watch a movie, or go someplace, etc. (b) Give her some slack for being 15; she's really young and should be allowed to make a lot of mistakes. (c) Give yourself some slack for being 20; you might not realize it, but you're still really young. You probably have a lot of stuff to learn, and lots of chances at romance ahead of you. The odds are that this relationship won't last your whole life, and that's a good thing. Enjoy what you have, and try to be less insecure. Don't worry about not being perfect. | ||

From the sounds of it, it's not her fault either. Human relationships don't magically work, you need to make them work. I suggest: (a) Make plans that sound fun, not a last resort.

Talk things over. Know what's on her side and make sure she knows what's on yours. Probably two most important things I've learned past fire years from two failed(sort of) relationships. And what munchmunch said in c) ! Edit: You probably know that but I'm gonna write it anyway. Conflicts in relationships are not a bad thing. It means your relationship is strong and alive. The seemingly more violent conflict, the more vivid and pure emotions are involved and even if they are bad, if you resolve the conflict they recoil in good emotions  | ||

The only cure I can say will most certainly work against something like this is getting more experience\more relationships\more girls or whatever, that can go a long way to getting rid of neediness. But that is a more long term solution i guess. If you can't pull yourself together I predict a not so good end for you in the not too distant future though, it seems like you are way over invested in this compared to her, and stuff like this can go into an evil spiral of doom real fast. =p If you want this to last then you are just going to have to stop being needy. If you ever think sometihng MIGHT come across as needy, even if you have somehow convinced yourself that it is not out of needyness that you want to do\say it, don't. | ||

Ellis had exaggerated fears of speaking in public and during his adolescence he was extremely shy around women. At age 19, already showing signs of thinking like a cognitive-behavioral therapist, he forced himself to talk to 100 women in the Bronx Botanical Gardens over a period of a month. Even though he did not get a date, he reported that he desensitized himself to his fear of rejection by women. You can quite literarily train such things  | ||

I'm not generally too fond of generalizing people like this, but there's a good point to be made here. Even though they can seem like they are mature, they aren't really at that age. You should take that into consideration. She, the same as you, still have a lot to learn. | ||

She is 15 years old and I am 20 years old. It's 4 years between us on paper, but in reality its pretty much 5 years I can see why the title of the blog is 'what's wrong with me'... | ||

I suggest trying your hardest to start taking everything positively, and do things to take your mind off of negative thoughts. Everytime you argue about the same thing , it probably puts a small rift into your relationship that could possibly blow up some time later on. I would advise backing down a little and resisting the urge to argue. In general its good to be calm and level headed in every portion of your relationship, and would benefit not only you, but her aswell. Lastly realize she is very young, and most likely has a completely different mindset than you regarding all kinds of things. Even if the relationship doesnt work out in the end, dont treat it as the end of the world and learn from it and build on it. After a while you will find its much easier to remain calm and basically roll with the punches. | ||

Thats like the #1 thing girls hate is clingy as fuck guys | ||

saying this, I am not judging, but pointing out the fact that for example, work may be a priority for you but job/career may have absolutely no bearing in "annie's" life. I'm sure there are many other observable comparisons from inane (TV shows and demographics based on interest) to more serious (status of getting a new car/new license). Next, from these observations step back and realize that at 15 you were seeking different life experiences than you are now. Since TOCHMY at 15 there has been much learning thus TOCHYMY at 20 is not exactly the same OP. I think I'm trying to say that if nothing else you have to be patient when a younger person is not on your wavelength, or even someone at your same age cannot see things how you see them. If it helps, do my exercise by comparing your current self to a 15 year old cousin, or a young kid you see in the supermarket. Can't you imagine them in vastly different life circumstances? Does that mean that two such different people should necessarily always agree on how to live or interact with each other? To give a wild answer to your last questions: logic doesn't always work, and personal experience doesn't work except maybe to temper your reactions to feeling icky. A relationship is what it is, there is no "coasting on good, sometimes hitting bad spots or potentially becoming ruined." Friends, family, girlfriend. They are all just how they are, you choose how you interact and react to them. btw since you've read this far in my post, imho some of the above advices may be useful to you, just don't take some of them to be mean-spirited and outright ignore them. Consider them as different points of view (even if you feel insulted a lil lol) phew, glhfhfhfhf!!! | ||

If you had sex, or even if she just SAID you did to someone, you could end up in jail. She's jail bait. Get the hell out, it's not worth the risk. Not even going to get into how crazy/ignorant/unstable 15 year old girls are. Date someone done highschool at least. | ||

Was planning on posting about age difference, looks like it doesn't matter, gl hf! Seriously though, there has been some really good advice in the comments, I'd take some of it and apply it the best you can. From what I was reading some of your issue may also stem from not completely trusting her. If I'm mistaken I apologize, but it's certainly not out of the ordinary to feel distrust at times, especially when you know she's young in school with other dudes all the time, etc. One thing to keep in mind is that YOU'RE that older dude the guys at school can't get your girl to forget about. Most relationships I've noticed with two people as young as yourselves end up with the older person breaking up with the younger one. If you're clingy, that rule goes right out the window, so as long as you give him her space and try to be mindful of when you may be going too far, I think you'll be fine. | ||

You just gotta learn to stop being clingy; apparently you know what you gotta do. Now just... do it. | ||

She could feel/be completely different in a year, or even tomorrow - you never know. Just always be aware of that fact bud. Also, being clingy is a bad thing. I know how you feel though because I sometimes do it myself, but, do try to avoid that the best you can. And not to be mean or anything, but if in fact this doesn't work out eventually, which honestly it probably wont. Date someone closer to your age because dating anyone that young will only cause you problems since they're still young and going through changes like I previously stated. Above all, don't get too attached this early or you'll just hurt yourself in the long run. Take it slow and steady man and try to be understanding to a girl of that age and things should be alright. | ||

While the relationship is having it's problems, I think you should focus more on the title of your blog-- what's wrong with you. Ultimately you can only change yourself, and regardless of how this relationship turns out, fixing yourself will be a long term permanent fix, rather than a bandaid on something that may not last. Why do you have so much insecurity? Either you are creating problems that don't exist out of your insecurity, or you are so insecure that you got into and are staying in a relationship that is not good. If you address your insecurity the problems will go away in one form or another, and hopefully prevent the same thing in any future relationships. | ||

Yes. The truth is, everything is going to be okay. Just keep telling that to your self as you continue to pursue her. And pursue her. The perspectives that munchmunch provided aren't just pieces of knowledge, rather, they are wisdom; a way of thinking that can become part of who you are. I can be hard, but remember these things. Remember. Work at them. | ||
