I agree.

I don't think so... I crave "overly affectionate" and adore it back

overly affectionate=aggressive...........on both parties.....

I find I have to pull back sometimes or I do become overly affectionate towards my freinds or someone I love. And yes, timing has alot to do with it, it can be too soon to be too affectionate especially if someone is turned off by it or is taken aback. Reminds me of that movie, How to lose a guy in 10 days. LOL

The "overly" part seems to say to me that it's too much for someone.

It does depend on compatibility and on mood. Everyone's mood changes.

I hate clingy. If you're clingy and don't understand alone time, move far away from me. Please. NOW! If you are very affectionate, that may be ok. I love affection and am good with lots of it--in private. I don't do well with public displays of affection, if it's too much. Hold my hand and give me a quick kiss hello or good bye, but don't French kiss me in a McDonald's, lol.

I'm romantic and affectionate, but I do get my moments where I just like to be alone and untouched (though not a lot).

I am an affectionate person but you have to know when, where and how to be affectionate, not everyone is the same and if you can't sense when it's not time then you're not in tune with your love.

Nope. It IS possible to be overly affectionate when you DON'T mean it, as all you're doing then is putting on a show.

Yes. Smothering is a possibility.
