Your Prince Charming may seem grown up enough and it’s not until a few days later (or worse, months or even years into a relationship) that you realize he is just a big baby. Yes we can all spot the more obvious signs of immaturity in a man: like finding his own farts and burps hilarious or playing videogames. But what about those subtle signs that may go unnoticed until you move in with him and take on the role of his mother?

Here are just a few of those less than obvious signs that your date may be immature:

1. He drives with very loud music in the car.  Yes, you know the type: not only is he enjoying the latest Miley Cyrus hits, he want everyone in the eight block radius to know that he is enjoying the latest Miley Cyrus hit.

2. He wears sneakers to a nightclub.  No, no, no, no, no!  No matter how casual the club may be, grown men do not consider it sneaker-worthy.  Unless you’re about to strip down and play basketball in that club, your feet should be dressed in nice leather shoes.

3.  He does crazy dance moves.  Yes, ladies, those were funny once… In middle school.  By ninth grade, crazy dance moves are considered a sign of severe immaturity.

4. He shows off about protein shakes/weight-lifting/how much he ‘lifts’.  Ladies, if that is your first (or even second) date conversation, run the other way.  Unless you want to spend the rest of your life watching him lift hundreds of pounds of metal and never lift a pinky to help you carry groceries home on your way from the office, run the other way:  the boy is not grown up yet and may never be.

5. He hates books.  He may have different reasons: short attention span, they’re boring, etc.  Whatever the reason, unless it’s blindness (and even then there is brail!) a mature man reads.  And ladies:  comics and animes do not constitute literature.  If he tries to convince you otherwise, don’t even argue:  just quietly exit the restaurant and never look back!
