Independent women are running the world. Although they definitely don't need a relationship, they are the definition of relationship goals, and here's why.

1. She doesn't need you to pay for things.

Girl bosses work hard for their money, and they take pride in their ability to pay for their own things. That being said, she won't say no to the occasional treat, so definitely keep that in mind.

2. She doesn't need validation from anyone other than herself.

This girl has confidence, (but not cockiness), coming out of her ears. She doesn't worry about whether people like her because she's too busy doing her own thing, (and probably building an empire simultaneously).

3. She doesn't need a man to define her.

Your girl boss is perfectly fine being single. In fact, who she is when she's in a relationship and who she is outside of one is exactly the same person, which makes her all the more real. And since she doesn't need a man in her life, you know that she genuinely wants you there.

4. She is most likely very organized.

She has things to do, so she won't have the time for a confusing and cluttered schedule. 9 times out of 10, she's on top of her things, and she's totally got it under control.

5. She isn't afraid of failure.

Fear of failure is a waste of her time. She knows that without failing, she will never know the sweet taste of success, and that living in fear will only hold her back from achieving everything she has planned for herself.

6. She may not know what she wants, but she knows what she deserves.

Even girl bosses fall into indecisiveness, but just because she is a bit unsure of what she wants out of forever, she knows her worth. She will never settle for less than she deserves, guaranteed.

7. Her independence will help yours grow.

The best part of dating a girl boss is that you will grow alongside her. She is a strong, independent woman, (who won't let you forget it), but when you're with someone like that, how could you not become strong and independent yourself? It's science.
