Is Dating Independent People a Bad Decision?
Are you ready to give them what they want?
If you always feel like your partner doesn’t need you in their life, they are happy by themselves, they have a life of their own apart from yours, and they know how to have fun without you…you may be dating an independent person.
But what are the problems of dating such a person?
They will not wait for you
You are a part of their life. Not the whole. They will always have other plans if you stood them up on the dates. They won’t expect you to open doors or help them into the chair. And even if you do not be by them, their life will go on.
They will say ‘No’ — a lot
You can’t push them over into doing something they don’t want to. They have a strong sense of ‘self-esteem’ and that will make it very difficult for you to manipulate your partner to do what you want.
They will draw clear boundaries
Independent people love boundaries. They won’t let you in and burst their perfect bubble. You need to respect their limits and always be on the watch for your behavior with them.
