There are many things that separate the women from the girls.
We are not talking about age here, because you can be dating a 30 year old woman, yet she still acts like a little girl.
If you are a man (and not a boy) wondering if you’re dating a woman and not a girl, LifeDaily helps you identify the 12 Signs You’re Dating A Woman, Not A Girl:
12. A girl will dress in revealing clothing. A woman will dress to create mystique.
Ever heard the saying “less is more?” A women knows this and only shows a little bit of skin at a time. For example if a woman is wearing a short skirt, she covers herself up on top, and vice versa- if she’s wearing a revealing top, she covers herself up below. While girls let it all hang out there and leave nothing to the imagination, women choose one area of focus and expose minimal skin, creating mystery, which in turn attracts men more.
11. A girl wants attention. A woman wants respect.
A girl wants to be adored by many, and a woman wants to be adored by one. Girls are so insecure that they need validation from many people, but a woman knows that the respect of one good man is all she needs. Respect is higher up on her list than attention, and a smart woman knows that she cannot have both.
10. A girl is insecure about her looks. A woman is confident in who she is and what she looks like.
Girls are constantly critiquing themselves- I’m too short, I’m too fat, I’m too this, I’m too that. Women don’t speak about themselves in that negative way; they are confident in themselves and how they look, and they won’t put themselves down for anything- especially not in front of a man.
9. A girl expects you to read her mind. A woman communicates her feelings.
Have you ever heard someone say: “you should know what I am thinking?” and while this would be nice, it is just unrealistic. How can someone expect another to understand what they are thinking or feeling if they don’t tell them? Hardly anyone is a mindreader, and as a woman knows, communicating her feelings is necessary to get her point across to her partner. A girl doesn’t say a word, and blames the man for not knowing how she feels.
8. A girl expects you to provide for her. A woman provides for herself.
A girl expects things- both materialistic things, as well as expects you to do things for her, but she gives you nothing in return. She is a taker, not a giver, and she doesn’t appreciate anything. A woman works hard and knows that the only way she can stand on her own two feet is if she supports herself, and contributes to her relationship. A woman knows that this equates to true happiness, as well as a strong and powerful relationship. A man being able to provide for her is merely a bonus, and not a requirement.
7. A girl will try and hold you back from succeeding. A women will encourage you to succeed.
Girls are jealous of you accomplishing more than them, and they will discourage you from not pursuing things that might further advance your career. A woman wants what’s best for you, and will encourage you in any and every way to succeed, even if that means spending less time with her because you have to work.
6. A girl will try and control you. A woman knows that noone can be controlled.
A girl will try and control everything from what you wear, to how you act, to what you say. A woman knows that noone can control another person, and instead of trying to control you, she brings out the best in you, making you a better man than you were before.
5. A girl plays games. A woman plays fair.
A girl will toy around with your heart like a yo-yo, and it’s entertaining to her because it’s all fun and games. She thinks that this is the way to a man’s heart, but she will soon realize it’s only the way to a boys heart. A woman doesn’t play games- she plays fair. She will only give you all of her attention if you are giving her all of yours, and she plays at a fair pace- she doesn’t rush anything, she instead takes her time and gets to know you at a pace that’s comfortable to her.
4. A girl is proud of the fact that she cannot cook or clean. A women knows her way around the kitchen.
A girl will not be caught doing anything domestic. That includes cooking for you, doing your laundry, or anything that involves a spatula or a broom. A woman knows that being domestic is not a duty, instead it’s an honor and a pleasure to take care of herself and her family, especially when it comes down to having her own. She doesn’t over give to a man, but knows that a nice meal and a clean home will go a long way in his eyes.
3. A girl bounces around from circle to circle of friends, changing them as frequently as she changes her hair. A woman has a close knit group of friends she holds onto for years.
A girl will meet new friends constantly, and if she has any old friends, she will discard them like yesterdays news. A woman holds on to her dear friends, and knows that nothing can replace them. A woman has a few close friends, as opposed to a girl that has a ton of friends, but low quality ones. A woman chooses her friends wisely, and choses quality over quantity.
2. A girl will tear others down to make herself feel better. A woman will lift others up to make herself feel better.
A girl will gossip about others, as in doing so, makes her feel better about herself- it is the only way she feels validated. A woman believes the total opposite- she knows that by lifting others up, she feels better about herself, and it makes her happy.
1. A woman is aware of her goals, and knows what she needs to do to accomplish them. A girl can’t think that far ahead.
A woman has a plan. She at least knows what she wants, what her goals are, and what she needs to do to accomplish them. A girl is oblivious, and literally cannot even think that far ahead as to know her goals. She does not have much direction, as opposed to a woman who knows her plan, and executes it the best she can.
