very independent

Recommended Posts

It means I don't need another person to survive or get by in life. I'm self sufficient.

I dish that out quite often myself, because it's true, and I hear it from the other person as well, because it's true. We don't NEED another person but at what point do we decide that it's okay to WANT another person to not make our life and our way, but to ENHANCE it? :S

As a male, hearing that from a female would not scare me off, it would do just the opposite...

From my experience, I see it as one of those Mad magazine's "What They Said...What They Really Meant" spoofs.

She said: I'm very independent."
What she meant: I'm a opinionated, hard-headed bitch that can't get a second date.
My reality and yours are quite different.

I was told, about 7-10 years ago, by a very dear friend that he would never have wanted to have me as a girlfriend. As close as we are, and as much as he cares about me as a person, he told me that I was just too independent. He wanted/needed someone that he could feel that he "took care of". . . . :)
I didn't see it as in insult. We had different desires and needs. But we have been very close and wonderful friends despite my "independence."

(Going from memory here...)
From a Jeff Foxworthy monologue:
Quote


When a woman tells you: "I need some space."
That is only half a sentence.
What she means is: "I need some space without you in it'."
