For emotionally intelligent women, trust is not built overnight; they take time to trust a person. Before she gives her heart, she gives it a thought. Intelligent women don’t fall for sweet words or good morning texts; instead, they notice what the man can do and how he reacts when something doesn’t go his way. She doesn’t get impressed by grand gestures, such as surprising gifts or a lovely Instagram caption. She never begs for your time; she just quietly watches everything. If you’re confused, you’re already out. Does he keep his word, or does he make excuses? She watches every single thing.

Things emotionally intelligent women do before trusting a man
So, in my opinion, intelligent women look for a guy who spends time with her, not out of habit, but because he truly wants to.

1. He talks sweetly, but is this the real version of him?
This is the first question that arises in every intelligent girl when a new guy approaches her. Life with cute, romantic messages full of compliments is not all she wants; she is soft-hearted from the inside, but her mind is. Sharp.
2. She’s not trying to hurry up, but she takes time to understand what’s real.
She’s not fond of fairy tales, or building a love story like Romeo & Juliet – she’s building trust, step by step, noticing the gestures, and respect.
3. Smart women notice – Does he stay sweet (polite) to people he doesn’t benefit from?
She had seen it before. Is he the fake charm, or the real one who is truthful, polite in his words, for other people who aren’t important to him?

4. I’ll let you in slowly when I feel safe
She doesn’t open up everything at once; her heart is like a book. She shares one page at a time, not the whole chapter of her life.
5. Is his friend circle kind and respectful?
Every circle tells a story of your character. If your friends are respectful and nice, that’s a green flag. But if they’re rowdy, unpredictable? Hmm.
6. I want someone who chooses me in every crowd during their hard times.
I just don’t want someone who just says he loves me but doesn’t give me time. I want someone clear about his intentions, who is real, gentle, and caring.

7. Does he stay when things aren’t perfect?
I want someone who comes to me when I’m bored and feel low, not only in my good times.
