We all know that one gal who has been single for what seems to be ions. Whether she is a friend, sister or yourself, we all know her. After all of her time spent alone, she has learned to love herself and be on her own. She is comfortable going out alone, she is comfortable making her own decisions, she is comfortable doing what she wants when she wants and she is comfortable with herself. When she is met with a potential romantic match, the idea of someone showing interest in her frightens the daylights out of her. Its not that she doesn't want someone to show interest in her, it's that she doesn't know how to be with someone, she doesn't know how to be anything other than independent. An independent woman will love her significant other in many different ways.

She will be the girl who lets you know she cares, but isn't always there. She doesn't need to tell you every second of the day how much you mean to her or how amazing you are. She will let you know in the smallest of ways how much she cares about you. When she tells you she cares, she means it. Those words are not said to many people often.

She will not text you 24/7. Independent women rarely have phones attached to their hips and you will rarely see them use it. If they do go out of their way to send you a message or reply to one of yours than feel special, it shows she cares more about you than most people.

She will not want to hang out with you all the time. Do not take this personally at all. It's not that she doesn't want to hang out with you, it is just that she needs alone time sometimes. Independent women are used to doing what they want when they want. Fitting someone else into their plans isn't always the easiest task for them. It truly isn't you, it's just the way she is.

If she falls off the face of the Earth, do not panic. Chances are she is going through an "I don't feel like being around people" phase. As an independent woman she is used to shutting herself off from the world and it not affecting anyone. Don't let it bother you. Everyone needs their alone time and it is guaranteed that she will be a lot happier around you if she is given this alone time.

She will love you the way no one else has. Even though she is independent she still knows how to love. She will go out of her way to make you feel loved and when she devotes her time to you rather than herself, you know that it's real. Independent women are not conceited, they just aren't used to devoting time to others and scheduling around other people's plans. But she will still love you in a way others never have. It won't be in the words she says but her actions.

If you get a chance to be with an independent woman, give it a try. She will be full of surprises and quite a roller coaster ride, but the good kind that makes you want to ride again. If you find an independent woman, hold on to her, you won't find another girl like her in a million years.
