Don't get involved with a man before you evaluate his maturity level in the beginning.  Do you remember meeting the guy who left you thinking, 'I don't want to raise him and my children'?  Don't you wish the immature guys came with big neon signs that read, "Warning ' immature man'?  If they did, chances are you'd run and hide as soon as you saw the glow.  Unfortunately, it doesn't work out like that.  For that reason, here are a few questions to ask yourself that should help evaluate a man's maturity levels in the beginning. 

Question 1 - How does he resolve difficult situations he encounters? 

If he simply complains about the problem without presenting any solutions, he's immature.  If he can calmly and rationally evaluate and resolve the problem, he's mature. He's a probably a keeper.

Question 2 - How's his relationship with other women in his life (i.e. mother, sister, ex's)? 

If he's immature, he disrespects his mother, treats his sister like property and can't go within 100 yards of his ex-girlfriends.  Immature men don't communicate or cultivate relationships with their family, friends or colleagues.  They dictate and dominate others to be who they want them to be and if the person doesn't conform, he disregards the relationship. However, a mature man will cultivate and nurture his relationships.  He knows the value of others in his life and he appreciates their existence.  If he can cultivate other relationships, he certainly has the abilities to cultivate your relationship. This kind of man is worth taking a second glance at.

Question 3 - What are his long-term goals in life?  

An immature man will tell you of personal grandeur and personal wealth.  He dreams of ways to make himself rich and strives to be envied by others.  A mature man tells you of goals that improve the world or others in his world.  His lifetime dream won't be personal glory; it will be to make life better for someone or something other than himself.

Remember how you felt when you talked to that man who was so self-absorbed that he couldn't talk of anything but himself.  He lived paycheck to paycheck and had no intention of changing his lifestyle.  On the flip side, how did you feel when you talked to a much different man that valued his family and spoke positively of his past relationships? The difference between the two men is maturity.

Don't be afraid to ask some questions.  Get some real answers and evaluate the answers honestly.  Remember, if there are no answers, it is also an answer. If he avoids the questions, he may be hiding something. 

A mature man can have an open and honest conversation. He will respect your thoughts and opinions. An immature man can't wait for you to stop talking so he can start taking your clothes off.  Discover a man's level of maturity in the beginning.  It will save you some frustration in the end.
