How to Know a Mature Man When You See One
If you've been into a few bad relationships with attractive men who turned out to be immature little brats as time went by, then you've probably wished that you could know a mature man when you saw one.
After all, if you did, then you'd increase your chances of getting into a relationship that might actually stand the test of time, right? Absolutely.
Mature men can hold a relationship together much better than immature men.
And there are ways to see just how mature a guy is - and trust me, it has nothing to do with how physically attractive they are.
#1: Mature men can weather the storm.
Mature men have been in tight situations before, and know how to handle them in such a way that doesn't step on anyone's toes.
These are basically the men who know that anyone can curse the dark, but only a mature individual can light a candle in the dark.
Mature men can also take criticism well.
When you try to talk to immature men about their shortcomings or about how you'd like some changes in your relationship, no matter how nicely, they'll almost certainly take it personally and turn into, well, drama queens.
Mature men, on the other hand, are so emotionally well-grounded that they take all sorts of criticism with a grain of salt.
#2: Mature men have other healthy relationships.
There's a saying that goes: "How you handle anything is how you handle everything.
" This saying applies a good deal into relationships.
If a man seems to have a lot of problems with his friends, his peers, and his family - and never seems to do anything about it except complain - then it's a sign that he may not be as mature as he looks.
Mature men know how to keep healthy relationships with all the people in their lives, no matter who it is.
There's no place for any politics and ill feelings in their relationships.
And if the guy knows how to handle all his relationships, he'll know how to handle a relationship with you.
Just a tip: If by a miracle you'll find a guy who's in good speaking terms even with his ex-girlfriends, it's almost a given that he's great boyfriend material.
#3: Mature men believe in things greater than themselves.
Mature men don't just think - they know - that there are much bigger things out there than themselves or their bank account.
A mature man has a PURPOSE in his life - one that reminds him, every single day, why he does what he does.
I'm sure you've experienced being with a self-centered man at least once in your life.
You'd probably cringe at how immature he was when it came to dealing with the important things - and it probably baffled you at how he never seemed to worry about the future, since all he thought about was what he was going to do when his next paycheck rolled around.
When a man has a purpose in his life, he's also more attuned to the beliefs of other people - most especially you.
If you acknowledge his beliefs, he'll acknowledge yours as well.
And since such beliefs are meant to last forever, chances are your relationship will, as well.
