When the woman you're dating gets insecure

What is the best thing for a guy to do if a woman he is dating starts getting insecure? Should he reassure her that he is into her and take the chance of acting like a wuss?

OK, I'm going to address this one because it's also relevant to guys who have only gone out with a woman a few times and the woman is acting this way (insecure, etc.).

A few observations:

1. INSECURITY is a problem that SHE ALREADY HAS. It just happens that your behaviors are allowing you to see it sooner than most guys would.

2. It's ALMOST ALWAYS good when the woman you're dating knows that other women are attracted to you.

3. You should not change your behavior to suit a woman. In other words, if it's natural for you to talk to women, then talk to them. If you're ONLY doing it to make her jealous, then this is probably an insecure behavior on YOUR part.

I've personally found that if I start to tell a woman "Oh, baby, you're the only one for me and I want to be with you forever and ever, and you should feel secure in the relationship no matter what" that the only thing it accomplishes is her seeing me as a Wuss Bag.

If she isn't secure in herself, then she's not going to be secure in the relationship... and there's probably not much you can do about that except hope that she grows out of it.

I think that most of us guys KNOW where the line between "reassuring the woman we love that we're in this for the long term" and "giving up our power" is.

Just don't cross the line.

A healthy relationship starts with trust and honesty and a big warm genuine smile.
 

A guy is not a wuss when he reassures a woman he is dating. You should definitely try to talk with her about her insecurities. It's more than likely that something triggered her recent insecurities and you may be able to alleviate them just by calling her out on them.

In the words of the great romans.......Duh.  If you had a doubt would you want to be reassured, or would you want her to blow you off with a tough girl act?  Put yourself in her shoes, while the insecurity is mostly her problem, a little reassurance is like relationship insurance. 

 If her insecurities get intrusive, then it's time to put the breaks on and politely tell her "I have chosen you, I'm with you and your who I want to be with....... so what is your issue".  I actually had that exact phrase used on me by my husband after we met, as I was getting jealous over a friend who later proved she wanted more.  Anywho, it provoked thought and I agreed, if he loves me and wants me, what is my major malfunction.

Give a little love here, and pet and reassure her. 

Best of luck!

there's not much you can do about it... if she feels that way, it's due to a lot of things, and whatever it is you say, won't change much..... it'll take a long time for her to feel secure, but it will take time..... so don't expect much of a change in a few weeks...

cheers

There's a lot you can do about it!! First of all, women are not naturally insecure. A man can make a normally confident woman VERY insecure. And there's a million other things that can make a normally confident woman suddenly insecure, women are like that (for all you men who don't know!) Now, if it's something you did or said to make her feel this way, you should definately find out what it was so you can make sure you never do it again. Secondly, once you find out what the problem is, or even if you don't, you have to try to make her feel good about herself again. It may take some effort, but you have to do this. Reassure her that you still think she is beautiful, you are very much in love with her and very attracted to her. Just make her feel good about herself again... not just verbally but physically. Kiss her, touch her, look at her like she's the hottest thing you've ever seen. Trust me, most men don't want to put in the effort and chalk it up to "there's nothing I can do, woman are just always insecure" Please don't be one of those men. There's PLENTY you can do!!

Pace, read T D Katz, The Female Guide to sensual leasures.  This book teaches woman to rethink themselves.  It builds self esteem , and trust me, if you give this to her as a gift, she will change for the better.  Security is the best friend you can have in a woman.  Her confidence will glow forever and you can only benifit.  If you go on catering to her needs and reasuring her for the rest of your life, you will grow tired fast.  Insecurity is a deal braker and a couple buster.  Fix this now if you want this woman.  the book is by

T D Katz
