youthful and fun-loving vs immature and childish

January 20 2015

So I've been thinking about this for some time and thought I'd share and see if I'm alone. I'm a big kid. Let me give you some examples. If a partner is having a serious conversation and asks me a question its highly likely i will seriously look right into her eyes and then beep her nose. Or possibly respond in a very serious and sombre tone but using nothing but the syllables "bulb", "ba" and "saur". I've been known to make lightsaber noises while cutting my steak and "pew-pew" noises while throwing individual items into the washing machine. I have a selection of nerf guns and I'm not above making couch forts as a defensive position. And if i'm in a good mood and i think no ones looking i may even skip. This has caused me problems in the past as few women are willing to put up with my childishness. Now i'm not gonna change and i can only sort of hide it if i really have to, but what i want to know (or at least want to start a topic about, because I think it'll be fun) is if anyone else still enjoys the simple fun that you had when you were a kid. Oh! Oh! And when she pulls on the covers i will roll over and over on the spot until i'm wrapped up in the entire duvet then yell "Squirmy worm!" and try to push her off the bed by wriggling over to her side.

    I'm a deep soul. I need to know someone is capable of meeting me in that space before I can lighten up and be silly with them. I also think it can be offensive to be trivial when someone is sharing something important. So, I'm all for good fun, but there's a time and place. You're examples seem way too immature and frequent for me. - Posted from rhpmobile

    grown up and left home, I don't need anymore. I like my man to be a man, not a child. There is a time and place for silliness but not when someone is trying to tell you something serious. Its disrespectful for you to trivialize what they have to say. I much prefer an adult sense of humour with wit, charm and intelligence ... leave the kid stuff for your private moments if it amuses you. LG

    I like to play... tickle..... make a partner laugh if they are being serious. But it is a time an place. I am in to practical jokes... what I give I must be prepared to receive! I think some playful fun keeps us young.

    But that sort of behaviour gets old pretty quickly. To me it is just annoying. To me youthful and fun loving is still having that sense of adventure and wanting to conquer the world, not being scared to try new things.... not someone who thinks making a dutch oven every day is a funny thing. Sorry. But we are all different, aren't we. So I am sure your special lady will love all your shenanigans.

    But then again I'm a mother and have been for 23 years. Don't get me wrong, I love a good wrestle, yes we all have nerf guns too, I still sit on my kids and do the typewriter to them, we dance around the lounge room like idiots, I love annoying the shit out of my kids, but if I was looking for a partner it would be just that, not another child, already have 5 of them and that's more than enough....💋

    Volunteer with a kid's organisation where expressing your inner child is appreciated...There is a time and place for everything,some of what you say you do would annoy the shiit out of most women...I work with kids and feel privileged to share their world,we laugh and joke around,but only sometimes...It's good not to take yourself or the world too seriously but develop your social intelligence,learn to read people and situations and continue to ave fun xxFreys

    Quoting 'Burning_Love' I also think it can be offensive to be trivial when someone is sharing something important. 'Serious' was probably the wrong choice of words. I don't mean if we're talking about something important, i just meant if we're not already being silly. And you absolutely have to have built a relationship with that person before you can get silly. You should have already tested the waters, so to speak. Quoting 'Meeka100' But we are all different, aren't we. So I am sure your special lady will love all your shenanigans. I can only hope i find her one day, but i doubt it. And a dutch oven isn't funny every day. Like romance, fun has to be spontaneous.The dutch oven is something i think you can only do once in a relationship and maybe only once or twice in your lifetime. After that it IS just immature. Same with squirmy worm. It works once then its just stupid. I'm a bit disappointed that there aren't more people like me. It has most definitely been a sticking point for me in previous relationships, but i cant help who i am and wouldn't want to. Its not my constant demeanor either and tends to only happen when i'm really happy with someone i'm also really comfortable with. People are always saying they miss their childhood or the innocence of youth. I think there's no reason why you shouldn't put your responsibilities aside for a while and tap into your inner child. The add where the guy sticks the maxipads to his arms and head... thats absolutely something i would do. Although now i wouldn't because its been done. no spontaneity you see. Here's an innocent one. draw funny faces on all the eggs in the carton and then convince your respective other to make you an omelet. You can take this further by faking grief over the eggshells.

    I'm more a jokes sort of girl. Try and find a lighter side to things. Life gets too serious but laughing smooths out the heavy bumps. Gets me in the shit sometimes when people just don't get it but really, I just find myself avoiding those people. But I have a serious deep side as well when required OP, being young at heart and childish is fine but there's a line there in the sand. You need to play both sides of it to please those that want you in their life. Annie

    Two words of relevance.... Time&Place Sure.... being fun, entertaining and hilarious is great to be around... I can be the biggest kid in the room at any given time. But it can get boring if that person doesn't know when to turn it off and communicate on that deeper level that tells a person "I hear you... I see you... I GET you". A clown can't be a clown 24/7. Dont change who you are..... just....Calibrate... when you are. DG

    can be a great thing. I know I still do childish things. But...not all the time. Once you're an adult there are times and situations that require you to put aside the childishness. I think you said it yourself, that your behaviour has led to problems keeping a relationship. I know that I couldn't handle someone who could never be serious, or take me seriously. It would get annoying and boring very quickly.

    We find something to laugh about every day, if there is not something to laugh about we will find something good of anything to keep the spirits up, especially when things are down or hectic the MAN presents and the news pushes. Hope you do find that girl who can be playful more so than not, stuff becomes much less serious and what matters becomes clearer, IMHO. Enjoy.

    Quoting 'Dryphuz'I'm a bit disappointed that there aren't more people like me. Due to posting lag this comment of yours showed up after I had already commented on your OP. And I think you got a bit of negativity because in your OP you made it sound as though you can almost never be serious, or take anyone seriously...that you can't switch off the jokey demeanour. That's the impression I got and that I think others got as well. But you've now clarified that's not the case and pointed out that you can be serious when needed...and I think you can see that quite a few people have agreed with you about being playful and getting in touch with your 'inner child'.

    i tend to misrepresent myself iin my OP whenever i start i thread... Its a failing of mine... You guys had me worried i'd completely alienated all of RHP for a bit, but i guess its just the lag between the submission and the actual post appearing. So come on, now you get what I'm on about, what have you done that was kid style that makes you smile when you think back on it? Maybe we can give some people some ideas they've never tried.

    I have the luxury of having two sons that allow me to escape and play with paint, lego, minecraft and many other types of play... just this weekend I had 200 marbles rolling around my house with pipes and tubes for them to roll through. but I have to be super serious at work... maybe why I enjoy escaping it at home. PS: and sadly I know if my partner did the things you mentioned I would hit the roof!

    Obviously there is a time and a place, but fun is fun! Don't be afraid to release your inner child, roll down that hill, skip down the footpath, spin in circles with your head back and arms out. Make stupid jokes, be spontaneous, take advantage of opportunities to be silly with friends and loved ones. Live Life Some people can be soooo serious all the time. Boring! One of our friends, makes the worst(funny though) jokes, makes squeaky noises (can't work out how he makes them), pranks and is generally a light hearted person with a gorgeous heart. The man is GOLD, pure gold!
