I'm getting sick and tired of the fact that every time a man is socially awkward he gets recast as an unstable, psychotic, criminal. He's a clingy boyfriend, they have different ideas about how much time to spend together, the first advice should not be, "you may eventually need a restraining order, kick him to the curb." How about a more tempered, "talk to him about how you feel smothered but you'd still like to spend time with him but also with your friends."
