subject: How To Date Older Women [print this page] There has been quite a surge in the number of men who want to date older women. Dating an older woman may seem like a challenge to some guys. For others, it is the thrill of breaking a dating taboo. Still, some men actually have a genuine interest in connecting with and dating a woman who is older for reasons that go beyond the superficial. If you are a guy who truly wants to find a meaningful relationship with and to date older women then there are some things you need to start doing to improve your chances of catching and keeping that older woman's attention.
Let Go Of Age
An older woman is still a woman. Do not forget that. She is no different than women your own age. You need to respect her and treat her as if you would any other woman. However, avoid any temptation to emphasize the age difference. If you simply cannot get past the age difference then perhaps it is not the right idea for you to date older women.
You have to be able to let go of the age thing. Think of her as a woman. Do not make assumptions that because she is a certain age that she will like specific things or that she will want to do certain things. Do not put her in a mother role either. This is common when younger men date older women. Remember she is your girlfriend, not your mom.
Show Respect
One thing that can be quite different between younger women and older women is that an older woman knows what she wants. She has lived life and she is at a point where she knows what works and what does not. She also knows that no man is worth giving up who is she is for and that no man is worth her time if he cannot show her a little respect.
When you date older women you have to be respectful. This does not mean calling her ma'am, though. You should probably avoid that at all costs. Respect is actually very simple. It means showing up on time for dates. It means calling when you say you will. Respect means listening to her when she talks and showing an interest in her and her life. If you constantly disrespect her in any way, an older woman is far more likely than a younger woman to simply walk away.
Simply put - older women do not put up with as much crap as a younger woman does, so be aware of that.
When you date older women you should be ready for a real relationship. It is time to let go of the games. If you are a player or someone who likes to toy with a girl's emotions then older women are probably not for you. However, if you are looking for a deep relationship where you can make a good connection with a woman then an older woman may just be the right choice.
