Is there a way you can instantly tell if someone is worth your time, energy, and attention, or if they're just wasting your time?
How can you tell if you're dating just another man wearing the mask of a grown man, or if you're dating an actual mature man who knows what he wants in life?
There are some characteristics that separate mature men from immature ones. Unfortunately, not all of these features can be seen immediately. But if you pay a little more attention to them, you will definitely notice the difference between them.
Listed below are 8 signs that you are with a grown man who cares about you.
1. You are his priority
Mature men know how to clearly express their intentions and let their woman know exactly where they stand in their lives. There is no need to discuss this with him because he has already made it clear that you are his top priority and that your presence in his life is important. The childish games, the guesswork you engaged in in previous relationships are now just a memory.
2. He knows what he wants in life
The main difference between mature men and immature men is that mature men are fully aware of what they want out of life. They have defined goals and know exactly how to achieve them. In addition, they know that a partnership is based on mutual support in the relationship. So instead of blocking your personal growth, a mature man will encourage you to chase your dreams and most importantly, he will grow with you.
3. He is not jealous
Jealousy is usually associated with the feeling that the presence of another person threatens your relationship with your partner. In such situations, many men and women would try to somehow control their partner to calm their worries. A mature man will not make you feel guilty if someone wants to flirt with you. Instead, it shows how proud he is to have you by his side. After all, that man actually compliments him that he has a beautiful woman by his side. There is no place for jealousy in a partnership, and a mature man knows that for sure.
4. He's not afraid to talk about things
There is no such thing as a perfect relationship. There will be arguments, misunderstandings and disagreements. This is almost inevitable. It is important how you react to all this as a couple. A real man knows that talking is the key to solving any problems. Instead of keeping quiet and refusing to tell you what upset him or why he felt uncomfortable, he calmly explained to you what was bothering him. What is he thinking about? And he expects the same from you.
5. He doesn't know drama
Drama has no place in a mature man's life. Maybe the men you used to be with engaged in little mind games, gossip. With a real man who has set goals and knows what it means to live together, there are no more signs of such drama.
6. He treats you with respect
You will rarely meet someone who will treat you the way you deserve. But there are men who know how to make a woman feel loved and respected at the same time. Such men have learned that treating their woman is vital if they want to keep her around.
7. Admit your mistakes
We are all confused regardless of maturity level. But some people know how to deal with their mistakes. A mature man, admit if he has hurt someone or done something wrong. He is not afraid to admit his mistakes and ask for forgiveness.
8. He recognizes your worth
A real man would never let you doubt his worth. Instead, it will remind you of your worth every time you feel like you've lost your sense of who you are. And most importantly, he will never let you forget what magical essence you are made of.
