10 Signs You’re Dating a Woman, Not a Girl

A real woman is extremely scarce. She’s a challenge but will ultimately make your life greater.

No, she’s not easy – as in, she doesn’t just always “go with the flow.” She’s an independent thinker – she doesn’t just laugh and nod at everything, and she won’t just let a man walk all over her. She’s complicated, yes, and doesn’t put up with not getting everything she deserves. She knows her worth and gives as much back, if not more. She’s opinionated and visionary, she argues because she is passionate and she cares, and you will never be left unsatisfied. 

If you find a woman – not a girl – that has these traits, you’d better never let her get away, or you’ll risk losing the best thing you ever had:

  1. A woman will tell you exactly what she expects, and she follows through. She uses her words, because she doesn’t expect you to know how she feels without communicating it.
  2. A woman will demand your respect. She won’t let you walk all over her – and you will be a better man for it. Keeping the peace at any cost might sound easy (and it is), but it won’t make your life better. A girl might let you walk all over her and put her needs aside, but a woman’s mind is more analytical and imaginative, so she simply cannot put up with crap. She’s not simple. 
  3. A woman will call you out on your shit. She won’t let you get away with anything, because she knows her worth. She only want the best for herself and her partner, so she’ll never just go along with some semblance of a mediocre, passionless relationship. She is kind, but she’s also strong and knows her value. 
  4. A woman will challenge you. You’ll have many deep conversations with her that make you question your beliefs and ideas. She will outsmart you on many occasions, but you’ll be a better man for it. It won’t be easy, but always satisfying and dynamic. She’ll never let you get away with slacking on your talents. She’ll criticize you, but only because she sees your potential and wants things better for you
  5. A woman will fight with you but it will only deepen your bond. When you date a woman, she’ll be passionate on a number of different subjects, and will definitely be passionate about your relationship – which may cause fireworks. But don’t mistake anger for cruelty – it’s quite the opposite. Only a woman with a great heart is capable of strong emotions – it’s because she deeply cares. 
  6. A woman is your equal or greater. She inspires you every day. She has her own opinions, cultivated from her own experiences and internal beliefs, not the opinions of others. She is fascinating.
  7. A woman will not want all of your time. She understands that your relationship can only last if you’re both ambitious and independent. She understands that a man that takes chances and is excited about his life and interests will continue to surprise and keep his woman interested too. She understands that she needs her man to give selflessly but he also needs to have time for himself. She understands the need for balance for his passion for her and for his goals.
  8. A real woman doesn’t need her man to be a doctor/lawyer/banker, etc. She understands that what she really needs is for him to be happy doing whatever it is he is doing. A real woman needs and wants her man to be passionate and excited about his job, no matter what it is. The most important thing is that he has ambition, that he’s doing what he loves. A woman knows this.  
  9. A real woman hates games. She would rather be vulnerable, to connect deeply with you than look cool. There’s no pretending with her – she will always be real and think you’re a star even on your “off” days. 
  10. A real woman wants a palpable attraction that goes beyond anything she can see. She doesn’t care about dreamy heartthrob looks. She loves your soul, your aura, your swagger. Call it what you want, but she is attracted to your essence.
