a guy told me that I'm childish

Post Reply New Topic

but then he told it was in a good way, that I'm very pure and simple, but I really can't understand what he really meant? Can it be a good thing? I just think he thinks I'm stupid. Does it mean he don't see me as a woman (ie. potential partner)?

I think he failed to distinguish between childish and childlike. The latter is a good thing: lots of energy, a sense of wonder about the world and a playful personality. The former usually denotes immaturity, pettiness and irresponsibility.

I'd like a partner to have some childlike traits, but preferrably not be childish.

Childlike: "Lets go ride the bumpercars at the fairground. I love those!"

Childish: "What do you mean you can't? We never do what I want!" *gets mad*
