7 Traits to Have That Will Make You a Great Girlfriend to Any Lucky Guy ...

Whenever you're in a relationship, you want your boyfriend to consider you an aweseome girlfriend. Of course, sometimes it's hard to figure out what guys are actually looking for from you. Thankfully, Pop Sugar knows what men like. According to them, here are the traits that make a woman an awesome girlfriend:

1 Independent

Men like to be needed, but they don't want to be needed all the time.

***

Being independent means you have your own life, hobbies, and passions. It's attractive when you're self-reliant and not clinging to your partner for every little thing. Guys appreciate when a woman has her own aspirations and is able to handle her own issues. This isn’t to say they don't desire to be helpful or supportive—they do. However, a balance is critical; it’s about being a partner, not a project. Your independence is empowering, not just for you, but for the relationship too, as it fosters mutual respect and admiration.
