 While I agree with Greentea's "You're either immature or you're not" comment, I don't think it quite applies to the situation. The reason for me to believe this is that I believe that I'm pretty mature, but at the same time, when I'm with a girl, I like to have a laugh, and I don't see how that immediately switches from "Having fun" to "Being immature". I think Mary-lee, it would be more accurate just to say that he likes to have a laugh some of the time. You did say after all that you like him most when he acts mature.
So let's say that that is the case; If you ask me, you just have to make it perfectly clear that he isn't being funny, it's just stupid, and it's really starting to bug you. Tell him that you appreciate why he's doing it, but it just isn't working. This way, it puts your point quite firmly across, but it makes him feel a little bit easier about the whole thing.
I hope that was of some use. Good luck with it

well he is immature. You can't act immature. You either are or you aren't. If it bothers you that much just leave him. If you think that is to much then dont leave him and get used to it.
I'm gonna tell you this though: You cant change a guy. Date him based on who he is. Dont ever date based on his potential.
