I completely relate to what you are saying here, I'm also considered a ''nice girl'' and I'm having so many issues because of that right now.  Sadly we are seen as weak by other people, they just assume something that is completely wrong and is completely untrue!  We are nice, not weak!  We are just kind people who don't like to be rude! 

Keeping a good balance is hard, even in a relationship, because being a ''nice'' girl is actually mistaken by weakness, I know because that always happened in the past with my ex boyfriends.  I guess that is the reason they are now ex boyfriends! They just thought they could take advantage of me because I was nice; they thought I'd put up with a lot things. 

In my current relationship I made it very clear since the start I'd not put up with certain things, I was also very direct and clear about some key points since the start.  In other words: I was a bit blunt and assertive and that is why my current boyfriend respect me.
