Hi Guys my girlfriend is a couple of years younger than me (23) but she acts like a little kid! When we're out with her friends that are her same age group she's acts completely normal and I am so attracted to her as a person when she's like this. BUT whenever she's out with my friends (their my age) she acts like a little brat, i'm a pretty patient person so have put up with it for a while now, but its starting to be a problem as i feel a little nervous whenever I take her out.
she's acts like this constantly when we're with her family too (she's the youngest child), and i guess her family has treated her like she's the youngest child like forever...
What should I do? I really love this girl, but its just in circumstances where its starting to stress me out. If its a psychological thing i wanna help her through this, just wondering what you guys thought. (link)

Dear Girlfriend acts like a kid,
That is so funny. Anyway, I read the other Avicenators answers and I agree. You should tell her that you love her and you mean no disrespect but you like her more when she acts like a mature adult.
Be honest with her and open up to her as soon as possible or it will continue to stress you out.
Remember, she is younger, and a woman. She may take it wrong if you do not word it wisely. Just explain to her that you like her when she is with her friends, but when she gets around your friends she acts like a completely different person.
If this doesn't work, maybe you should try acting like a childish brat in front of her friends. See if she likes it. That would be a last resort naturally, but it is a thought. OR just stop taking her out around your friends. When she asks why you don't want her along, tell her.
"If its a psychological thing i wanna help her through this"
This pattern makes me wonder why she acts like this only with her family and your friends, but not around her friends. There has to be something that influences her actions when in these enviroments. With her family she probably feels comfortable and is used to acting that way.(little firls often act like this around their daddies) What could it be with your friends? Is it that she's more comfortable around them than her friends? Being a woman myself, I often find that women will act wierd around guys they really like, trying to get their attention by being cute.
Just a thought. Remember, keep smiling, hold your head up and stay honest.
Hope I helped :)
Sincerely,
Honestymatters
