While it may not be the norm, younger men dating older women is becoming much more prevalent. Men who prefer mature women enjoy the things these women bring to the table that their younger peers simply can’t. Older women, for instance, tend to have more self-confidence and life experience while also being better conversationalists as well as more supportive partners. They are rarely clingy or demanding and aren’t into drama.
With all of that in mind, is it any wonder why some younger men prefer to date women who are older than them?
That said, older women do have different expectations of their partners than, say, a woman in her 20s. So, guys, if you want to date an older woman successfully, here are the mistakes you need to avoid both in traditional dating and if you’re looking to be successful online.
1. Thinking you come first
If you’re dating an older woman with children, you’ll need to come to terms with not being No. 1 in her life. While the constraints on her time do change once her kids are over the age of 18, you need to be OK with the fact that she will drop everything to help them when they need her. In other words, she will always be a mother first and your lover second.
Depending on the age of the lady you’re dating, she may also be caring for aged parents and, while you may be just as important to her as her mom and dad are, there will be times when she needs to devote her attention to them.
So, if you’re used to being the center of your lady’s existence, that’s an attitude you’ll need to change
I’m a 20-something stay-at-home mother and wife. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful daughter, two loving dogs, and a lazy cat. I wouldn’t change my life for anything! I love to read, listen to music, cook and blog!
