    When she was around, when you hug her kiss her, etc, wait for her to she some kind of action to show she felt like being that way at the momment. like a big smile or kissing you back that kind of thing. if she smiles and turns the other way or pulls away she wants to be around you but doesn't want you all over her. a lot of women like this only want to get touchy in the bed room any other time the want their space other than holding hands or an arm around her shoulders to show you're there.

    If she wants to go out with her friends don't ask to go with or call her more than once if at all while she's out. and if you do call wait a few hours. Never invite yourself unless you're invited.

    The most important thing is have a life. Your job, hobbies, friends, make time for her when you want and don't make yourself an accessory to her life. make her feel like shes something special in your life. that way she will feel the same way. instead of feeling like she is your life, she will feel apart of your life. which is really important so she doesn't feel smothered.

    There is nothing much more you could have done for a woman who is independent. We think we can conquer the world without the help of a man and that is wrong. Even a independent woman needs a man to keep her grounded. We just wont admit it.

    You said she was in an abusive relationship. If she did not deal with the previous abuse, there is really nothing you can do that would make her think you are any different than her abuser.

    If you guys are still on speaking terms, be her shoulder to cry on, because she will cry. Be her listening ear, because she will need to vex. Overall be a friend and not try to be a mate.

    Give her space when she asks for it and don't make a big deal about it. Some guys think it has to do with them when a girl wants space, but if she is independent, she HAS to have space or she will go crazy. However, an independent woman doesn't mean she wants to do everything herself...if the trash needs to be taken out- do it, but don't ask her if she wants it done. Don't be a puss. Independent women need strong men. Not wussy boys.

    Just treat her well. Be open and honest and let her know what you want and how you feel. Make her feel comfortable enough to be able to talk to you about what she is feeling and what is going on. Just be a good guy and treat her right and then you should be ok. Just because she is independent doesn't mean that she doesn't want to be with someone.

    Why did you break up?

    Independent women like to do things for themselves, so don't be too clingy or try too hard. Treat her nicely and with respect. Show her you're different than the guy who abused her.

    That depends on what you did.

    But, just a little tip, a lot of independent women don't give guys a second chance. Because they're indpendent, they don't need you.

    Independent women like to do things for selves, so just treat her nice and with respect. Or else they'll flip out at you for no reason. =/

    It depends on why she is upset with you. There has to be a reason you are not revealing.
