4 Reasons You're a Girlfriend and Not a Wife...

1.If your relationship is built upon s3x instead of an emotional connection, it's more likely you'll remain girlfriend status. One of the reasons online dating actually works is due to the long emails and getting to know each other well prior to intimacy. If you think the guy is someone you really like, take your time with s3x (take your time with it in all situations; women who have s3x when they feel best about it are much happier).
2.You move in with them in hopes it will turn into something more. Living with someone may be cheaper, but it's not the best situation.

3.Weak boundaries and always being there at his whim. When you make your life about someone else and no longer invest in your own interests or priorities, you're setting yourself up to be taken advantage of. People born into homes with poor boundaries never have structure, personal space, or respect for one another. Clingers or needy women tire their partner. Keep your own goals, interests and dreams intact. Don't change your life to accommodate theirs, and encourage them with your upbeat behavior to aspire to yours.
4.women are s3xy to insecure men. Women tell me frequently they are passive, quiet or dishonest because they don’t want to upset their boyfriend. What? Lying to your partner is not okay, and if you feel the need to lie, you're not in a positive relationship. Advocate and stand up for yourself and your needs. Strong, smart women do not intimidate men who are secure in themselves.
