Age
Gaps When You Are Dating
When you’re picturing your perfect date in
your mind’s eye, who do you see? What’s her age? Is she younger
than you? You might not want to rule out women who are older
than you.
Most women who are more than a couple of years older (currently
referred to as cougars – think Demi Moore with Ashton Kutcher)
have no problem dating younger men, and as long as
you have things in common and are attracted to each other, there’s no
problem with this.
Likewise, you can date younger women with relatively few troubles
as long as you have common ground. When you allow for dating
that’s maybe a few years out of what you might call your ideal
range, you stand to meet many more interesting and fun women,
possibly the right one for you.
Even though you’ve opened yourself to the possibilities of
more dates, there are things you need to be aware of when dating
out of your age range. Consider carefully whether or not you
want to partner up with a woman who wants to have, and can
have children.
Some women who are older have children already and are not
interested in starting another family. You’re going to find
older women in both groups – those that do want kids (or more
kids), and those that don’t.
Depending upon age, an older woman may no longer be able to
have children. Younger women, especially those who are significantly
younger than you, can be lots of fun, and they certainly can
be attractive.
But younger women may or may not have the maturity that you’d
like to see in someone you want to be in a committed relationship
with. Very young women, or younger women who are new to dating
after a long-term relationship, might just be looking for fun
right now.
That’s great, but if you’re looking for a possible real relationship,
someone who’s just looking for a roll in the hay or a fun night
out doing shots might not be your best bet. There are young
women out there who possess maturity and are very well developed
emotionally.
Another caution where younger women are concerned is that
they may just be looking for a sugar daddy. Of course, this
could happen with older women, too. Sometimes young women are
attracted to older men because they are established professionally
and are more financially stable than men in their age group.
Unfortunately, they might be looking for a stable, nice guy
to foot the bill for continuing education or just a lot of
clothes and a nice house. Be sure you get to know any younger
date very, very well, before you commit to her. Gold digging
is a common practice in some circles.
Just remember that you’ll meet great, stable, healthy (both
physically and emotionally), beautiful women in their twenties,
thirties, forties, fifties and beyond. If you’re happy being
with them, and you share common interests and goals, then go
for it.
But you’ll also meet gold-diggers and women who want someone
to take care of them financially and otherwise – they come
in all ages as well. As with any dating situation, know what
you want, and what you don’t. Click here to learn what goes on inside a woman's head. It's a man's guide to the female mind. It's my KissMeGoodnight recommendation.
