Don’t date the grown kid. He is usually very immature and seems like he will never grow up. Don’t waste your time waiting for him to grow up. Some guys have that “peter pan syndrome” where they want to act like a kid forever and never grow up. A lot of these kind of guys may still live with their mother too. They don’t want to get or keep a job or act like a responsible adult. They expect for you to be like their mother and take care of all of their needs, including financially. It is hard to carry a mature and deep conversation with them. You feel like dating an overgrown kid instead of dating a real man.
