I understand that you like this guy... but if he makes you feel uncomfortable, tense, etc. due to his being clingy, then you either need to have a serious conversation with him and set firm rules about what he can and cannot do, or you need to end the relationship before deeper feelings get in the way of making logical decisions. I have seen boys/men like him before, and they tend to become manipulative (intentionally or unintentionally) if you don't address their issues right away. He may not fully realize how uncomfortable he's making you feel, and he could also be excited about the idea of being in a new relationship (hence the over-the-top behavior). If you set firm rules with him (e.g., "Only text me once - don't keep sending me texts, just wait for me to respond") and he disregards them, then it may be best to end the relationship. Trust me, you'll find someone else who can be loving AND respect your boundaries... and he'll learn a valuable life lesson that can be applied to future relationships.
