Love is a wonderful feeling, but not all things that feel good are necessarily good for us. Sometimes we fall in love with someone, praying and hoping for the best, even when their behavior tells us that we might be caught up in a mess. Typically, intuition can guide us in the right direction, but it’s only useful if we listen to it.

When you meet a man that charms you and makes you feel like the most important person in the world, it can be easy for feelings of love to develop. But, as your relationships progresses, you realize that love just isn’t enough. Of course, love is a very critical part of any long-lasting, healthy relationship, but if love is the only thing sustaining your partnership, things will soon take a turn for the worse.

I know that a grown woman has no interest in spending her life with a boy. Rather, she wants a man that can love and support her in a way that meets her needs. She needs a life partner that she can truly depend on. Boyish tendencies are ignored far too much, and women can find themselves stuck with the wrong guy because they fell in love with his potential. The problem is, potential is not enough. We need more—we deserve more.

So how do you know if you are in love with a grown man, or a boy that finds himself unable to keep up with the requirements of manhood? Below are a few signs to keep an eye out for. Now let me be clear, if your man exhibits any of these signs it does not mean he is a bad person. It simply means he has a few things to work on if he wants to be in a grown relationship, and you have to ask yourself if being with him is what’s best for you.
