Yes.  That's what I thought originally in the beginning whilst I first dated my girl a couple of months ago.  And I'm aware that I'm usually a romantic type of guy who likes to makes his woman feel special (or preferably "pampered") even though she's not used to these sort of things.. But I know that deep down in her heart she feels happy inside to know there's a man out there who admires and likes her for what she is, no matter what other men think negatively of strong independent women.

Yes, sometimes the more independent women are particularly stressed out and will sometimes appreciate a romance even more. However, sometimes you have to be even more persistent and persevere in being the one to plan a romantic date. For some independent women it might be hard to relax and let go to let someone else plan a date although deep inside I think every woman can appreciate a guy who is persistent in planning a nice date. <br><br>So I am saying this to say is that yes, my suggestion is to go ahead and make it happen!

So I am saying this to say is that yes, my suggestion is to go ahead and make it happen!

But now my new love of my life's special because she's sincere, nice and down-to-earth whereas my ex was demanding and very controlling.  But she lacked romance side that girls normally have.  My guess is that she's not used to it since she's been working so hard in making her career ambitions a success for the past 4-5 years...<br>My main question is that do strong, successful independent girls still like to enjoy some form of romance during the course of the relationship? If so do I need to do anything to make this happen?

My main question is that do strong, successful independent girls still like to enjoy some form of romance during the course of the relationship? If so do I need to do anything to make this happen?
