She Doesn't Ask For Much, She Just Needs To Know You Care

May 31, 2019 by apost team

Men think women are hard to understand, and that a girl's mind is never truly made up. That isn't the truth at all. Regardless of what she says, all women want one thing: to be shown love.

She won't lie to herself when she is unhappy. She has been through enough now to understand that her word is valid, and her expectations aren't too high. She knows she doesn't have to lower her standards for anyone to love her, and that includes you.

But she doesn't want to fight all the time. She doesn't want to constantly stand up for herself, which usually leaves her standing alone. She wants, more than anything, to fall into the arms of someone she can trust, someone who will always support her and understand that she isn't "too much;" she's more than enough.

Men in the past have told her she's too needy. They've told her she's demanding, stuck up, and a brat. They may have called her "princess" to make her feel like her expectations are just entitlement. But they're all wrong.

A boy will think of her as spoiled, but a man will see her strength. This is a woman who knows herself. She knows what she wants, and she knows what she deserves. Her standards are not dealbreakers. Her desires are not unrealistic. 

The right man will gladly go above and beyond to make her feel loved, wanted, and appreciated. More than that, he will make her feel respected. She will never have to question whether she wants too much from someone.

The right man will make her feel assured that her standards were right all along. She was keeping the lesser ones out to let the right one in.

Some men have told her that she likes to play "hard to get," but really, she couldn't care less. The ones who can't measure up mistake her disinterest for playful teasing, and they will delude themselves time and time again that she just can't accept someone because no one is good enough.

But there is one man out there good enough, and he will never ask her to change or lie to herself to make him happy.

A mature man will see this woman for who she truly is; he will be amazed by her strength and commitment to her values. Her self-love is one of the things that will cause him to fall in love with her.

She refuses to settle, to give in, or give up. She is hard to understand at first because all her past encounters have left her somewhat jaded. On her worst days, she may even be cynical and distrusting. So many have tried to get to know her and failed; so many have been let in only to let her down.

She does not want to be hurt, so she is cautious. The right one waits. He demonstrates his interest in her and her mind, and he continues to revel in each glimpse into her wild spirit. 

He knows she is not meant to be tamed. He does not seek to "own" her. He only wants to know her, and, if he is lucky, stand beside her. 

Behind her tough exterior resides a girl who wants to be cherished. She wants to be able to be vulnerable without feeling weak. She wants to be held, and she craves someone who she can ask for affection for without feeling like a beggar. 

She does not need you to give up everything to be with her. She does not want someone to forsake themselves to please her. In fact, this is one of the easiest ways to lose her interest. 

She just wants someone to notice her and include her. She wants to become a part of your world, not become the center of it. She doesn't need someone to give up their values and follow her blindly. She doesn't need someone to say whatever she wants to hear.

She needs a man who will give her stability and security. A man who isn't afraid to let her speak her mind, and who will earnestly speak his in return. She needs a man who treats her like a priority because she is. 

He will love her and hold her as much as he will encourage her to stand on her own. He will be happiest when she is most confident. He will not convince her she does not need armor against the harshness of the world. Instead, he will help her polish it, and she will not be afraid to let down her guard around him.
