Ok you said girls. Sorry for the intrusion.
Guys get clingy when they think they have someone better than they deserve.
They get afraid that it's too good to be true and that it will be gone at any moment if they don't keep checking on you and making sure you're happy, safe, having fun, don't need anything... etc etc.
Yes, we can certainly go overboard. But it's mostly just a lack of self-confidence. It means you're hot and we don't think we can keep some other guy from stealing you away. We're confused and excited about why someone like you would like someone like us, and now we're prepared to go the extra mile to keep you.
Note: If you have lots of male friends, or you're flirting with other guys, or you're still taking phone calls from ex-boyfriends, this adds a lot to the drama.
A few carefully placed reassurances and public acknowledgements will keep our fragile egos at ease and settle down the strong urge to cling.

She may be emotionally clingy because of past relationships. She sounds like a very senistive person. She may think that you're really awesome, and just doesn't want to lose you. If you tell her something like "you need to slow down" try to find a easy way of letting her down. So if you have something negative, having something at the end as positive. exmpl: "I really like you, you're beauitful, and kind, and that's hard to find these days, but I feel uncomfortable with this fast pace, I really want to get to know you really well, and I think I can do that better if we take our time." She might also have some depression/ social disorder too. I sometimes have a tendency to scare guys off when things are going well.

Oh definitely.Im a person who likes my space and personal time. I dislike a guy who has to constantly know everything im doing and who im doing it with. Its cool to want to spend time with me but respect that you're not the center of my entire existance. Let me have time with other people and i will do the same for you. That goes both ways for a guy and a girl.

Yes for sure. I have seen this. If a man is overly clingy I think he misses his mom.

Oh yeah. I absolutely HATE those type of guys. I mean, it's nice to care, but getting close and wanting to know every single thing--ugh. It's too much.

BOTH sexes can be guilty of this annoyance - and it really can be, ANNOYING! -Usually such people are not secure within themselves, to even like being WITH themselves. Some people grow up and out of it, and some never do.
If you don't like that "type" would suggest you head in the opposite direction...unless you like him enough to speak to him about it (which I doubt)
