These 17 Things Don't Actually Make You a Bad Girlfriend ...

1. Looking at Other Men

You're in a relationship, but you're not dead. That means you're going to notice attractive men. As long as you don't act on your lust, it's A-okay.

2. Wanting Attention

You're not needy for wanting attention. Your boyfriend is supposed to be there to give it to you.

3. Wanting Time to Yourself

You don't have to be by your man's side 24/7. In fact, it's healthier if you two spend some time apart.

4. Being Scared of a Serious Relationship

We're all a little scared of getting serious, because we don't want to get our hearts broken. Of course, if you push those fears aside, you can still have a happy relationship.

5. Getting Annoyed by His Parents

You're not always going to love your boyfriend's friends and family. You just have to learn to deal with them.

6. Getting Jealous

It's natural to get jealous when your boyfriend talks to other girls. Just don't give him ridiculous rules about who he is and isn't allowed to associate with.

7. Telling Little White Lies

If you lie to your boyfriend about liking his new outfit or haircut, don't feel bad. Everyone tells those little white lies.

8. Fighting with Him

Arguments are unavoidable. As long as you deal with them in a responsible, mature manner, there's nothing to worry about.

9. Turning down Sex

You won't always be in the mood to have sex. Your boyfriend should understand that.

10. Having Male Friends

Having male friends doesn't mean you're a horrible person. It's entirely possible to be friends with the opposite sex without cheating on your partner.

11. Having Different Hobbies

You've heard that opposites attract. That means you don't have to love everything that your boyfriend loves. You're two different people, after all.

12. Being a Bad Cook

It's the twenty-first century. Women don't have to be the ones to cook anymore, so don't feel bad if you can't whip up a nice meal for your partner.

13. Giving Him Orders

We all get a little naggy after dating someone for a while. It's part of a relationship, so don't feel bad about it.

14. Taking a While to Text Back

You should be there for your partner when he needs you. But that doesn't mean you need to drop everything in order to text him two seconds after he texts you.

15. Wanting to Stay in

You don't have to go out on exciting dates every weekend. Sometimes, you'll have more fun staying in and watching Netflix.

16. Annoying Him

He won't always be in the best mood. Some days, you'll get on his nerves. Don't worry, because the next day, things will be back to normal again.

17. Being Selfish

Even though you love your partner, it's normal to do the things that'll benefit yourself. It doesn't make you a bad girlfriend. It just makes you human.

All of these things are completely normal, so you shouldn't feel bad about them. Chances are that you're an amazing girlfriend that your man is lucky to call his own! Do you consider yourself to be a good girlfriend or do you think you need some work?
