When you’re dating an independent woman, you need to be secure enough in your relationship to know that she doesn’t need you. She wantsย you, but she isn’t dependent on you. Thisย doesn’t mean that she’s incapable of love.ย Because if an independentย woman chooses to be with you, you can be sure that she wants to be with you for no other reason other than the fact that she truly lovesย and cares about you. But there areย some things you should know before you jumpย into a relationship with an independent woman.ย 

1- Her time alone is sacred

You don’t need to be attached at the hip to her; she has some things she like to do on her own. That doesn’t mean she dislikes your company; it just means that she needs to do this thing all by herself and that she’ll spend time with you when she’s done. Respect that she needs her “down time”.3adc5d46617c2e4f0ec55912a8c7a505

2- She is abundantly clear

She will spell out her likes and dislikes pretty clearly so you don’t need to worry about her beating around the bush. At times, this will be great because you’ll know what she’s into straight away. At other times, it can be annoying because she will voice her criticisms. But you have to admit it’s a lot better than having someone who isn’t clear at all.make-one-thing-quite-clear

3- She won’t agree with you on everything

She realises that agreeing with you on everything is not the way to go. You have your opinions and she has hers, and sometimes agreeing to disagree is the best course of actiontumblr_m566t5smtj1rqfifo

4- She will shareย everything with you in time

Since she’s been independent most of the time, she’s learnt to get through life on her own. Sharing everything with someone else is not something that is easy for her to do. Once you reconcile yourself with that face, you’ll be patient enough to wait for her to share things with you at her own pace.tumblr_mlzsdb2yot1rcl9fxo1_500

5- Marriage is not at the forefront of her thoughts

Getting married might be the aspiration and dream of many women out there. But she has other things on her mind. Working on individual achievements will be more on her mind before she ever decides to settle down.644952439

6- Ifย she wants your help, she will ask for it

She’s learnt to rely on herself in the hardest of times. Don’t force a helping hand on her and then get angry when she doesn’t accept it. She can do things for herself, and when she can’t, she’ll be sure to ask you.tumblr_nu56gnkc9f1tq4of6o1_500

7- Don’t downplay her individual achievements

She’s done a lot of cool stuff before she met you, and she will continue to do a lot of cool stuff. Don’t undermine her achievements just to add more focus to the relationship. Everything has a level of importance; individual goals and aspirations come first.unknown

8- You’re not expected to pay for her

You’re not obligated to pay for her. After all, it’s the 21st century.giphy

9- If you break her heart, she ain’t coming back

On the off chance that you lose her, you better believe she won’t have any second thoughts. She cuts ties pretty well and she will definitely not ask to take you back.tumblr_m0bwrof3oi1qkvhkao1_500

So keep this in mind if you ever start falling for anย independent woman.ย
