It's easy to make a low-maintenance woman happy. That's because she enjoys the simple things in life—an afternoon by a fish ball cart can pass for the best date she's ever had, as long as you've shown her a great time. She doesn't expect you to always have your best foot forward. She'd rather have you honest and relaxed because that just means you're comfortable around each other.
On a regular day, you'll see her in a classic shirt-and-pants ensemble, which she accents with a tailored coat or a casual jacket, depending on the occasion. She prefers flats and sneakers over heels because she doesn't like being restricted by what she wears when she's off on one of her many adventures. She's straightforward, practical, but somehow still remains to be the classiest woman you've seen, and that's probably because she's content with who she is.
She finds beauty in the oddest places and happiness where most see none. You may think that she wears rose-tinted glasses when in fact she just has a view of the world that is unobstructed by drama. While she remains grounded in reality and goes through the same aches and pains that many do, she refuses to have her life be complicated by them.
There's no use worrying about a low-maintenance woman; she can handle things by herself. You don't need to drive her around or buy her things that she likes. She can do all that without your help. Independence is her second name, and while she appreciates that she can rely on you, she treats you as her equal. Respect her enough to treat her the same. She was strong on her own before she ever met you, and she still is now.
A low-maintenance woman does not ask for a lot. It's easy to purchase gifts, but she knows the weight of love and loyalty, which is why she values them more than those that are tangible. A low-maintenance woman is, after all, still a woman with high standards, and she will never allow herself to be treated less than what she knows to be her true value.
As much as you enjoy the lightness of her company, remember that she is her own person: She may fall in a dark place if ever you make the silly and illogical decision to leave her, but she won't stay there for long. She'll rise above and beyond you without bitterness and complication because that's the way she is.
So do yourself a favor and stay a while. She may teach you a thing or two about living and loving. Dating a low-maintenance woman is more than just being with someone who enjoys cheap thrills; it’s about being with someone who finds beauty in simplicity.
