I think this is a classic example of why younger guys don't generally work well with older women. Women mature faster, making that transition from playful teen to full-fledged adulthood at a younger age. The guy who is the subject of this question is realistically 5 to 7 years away from turning into the "man" he'll ultimately be. He's having fun, not burdened with tons of responsibilities.

OP, I encourage you to talk to your guy about your concerns, but do it in a delicate way. You should also accept that he is younger and maybe just isn't ready to move to the "next level" in his life. But I'll echo the sentiment that waiting around hoping he'll change is not a good idea. If you're genuinely unhappy then it may be time to move on. People being at different stages in life is one of the primary reasons things don't work out between them.

dirtball agony auntHe's lazy, but he's still developing into who he is. Discovering his identity and what not. I would be willing to bet he loves you by his definition of love. Maybe not by your definition. The thing you need to think about is if you're waiting around for him to change. If you are, that's not good. You should love him as he is, not how you might want him to be.
