What does the word clingy actually mean in Englsih?

It's wonderful to give lots of love and attention to your partner, but a good trick is to remember to shower yourself with just as much love and attention. That leads to you treating yourself to special days once in a while doing your own favourite things or hanging out with your own old friends. Having more focus on yourself brings a good level of balance.

Well if your S.O. is enjoying the attention and has not said he does not like you to act that way..then I would assume you are ok. If he is complaining that you are clingy, then you need to back off some...respect his feelings. What ever you do, if it is a problem you need to talk to each other about it. :)

Well you might want to ask yourself these questions. 1.)How many times a day do you call him/her and how many times doe he/she call you back on their own? 2.)Do you allow free time to spend with his/her friends? 3.)Do you demand lots of attention from him/her? 4.)Does he/she seem to have a problem with giving you attention? 5.)How does he/she react when you say I love you or said I love you for the first time? 6.)Do you find yourself clinging onto his/her arms 24/7 when you are out in public?

The way to avoid this trap (or any trap) is to keep paying attention to here-and-now. That's much trickier than it sounds, because our minds are belief factories -- constantly spitting out ideas and interpretations and conclusions about what is going on, and we routinely take these thoughts for reality. When we do that, we stop paying attention to reality as it is, and substitute our IDEAS about it. That puts us out of touch, and we start to bump into things we didn't see. The cure isn't really a cure -- there's no permanent and final solution. In order to avoid being too much of any one thing, we have to become aware of our own thoughts, beliefs, fixed attitudes, and hasty conclusions, and challenge them. This is an ongoing effort, not a once-and-forever resolution of the issue. So when you're with your S/O, the job is to be self-aware: to just notice what thoughts you're having, and recognize them as thoughts. To study your own beliefs and conclusions... "oh, I'm having a thought that he wants to watch the ball game because he's looking at the TV guide and it's Sunday". Well, either he is or he isn't, but when you're aware of your own thoughts, you can suddenly OBSERVE what is going on and distinguish it from your own thinking, and that makes all the difference in responding appropriately.
