If you’re interested in dating an older women, there are a few things you need to know. Here are ten tips that will help you when you are dating older women.

1. Be Clear about What You Want

When you initiate contact with an older woman, you need to be clear about the things you want, whether you want a relationship or something else. State what you want upfront and stick to it. An older woman knows what she wants and doesn’t mind letting you know.

2. Time to Introduce Yourself

When it’s time to introduce yourself, texting is great, but this is one time you may want to refrain from getting to know an older woman through texting. The best thing to do in this situation is to make all dating arrangements over the phone.

3. Be Aware of Tradition

An older woman is custom to tradition and is not afraid to initiate contact. If the woman prefers to call you first, let her. You must keep in mind that this woman has been in the world longer than you have, and she has her mind made up about the way things should be.

4. Things You May Want to Avoid

One of the last things you want to tell an older woman is she looks good for her age. Compliments are never a bad thing, but when you tell an older woman she looks great for her age, you’re sending the message that she looks great to be old, and that’s a subject and situation you want to avoid altogether.

5. Be Honest and Straightforward

An older woman has been there and done that, and the last thing she is looking for is a younger man who enjoys playing games. Be honest and direct with her and she will appreciate it more than you will know. Older women do not mind showing you who they are and what they like, and you should not be afraid to do the same.

6. Being a True Gentleman

You have to know that an older woman can have an older man or any other younger man that she wants, so don’t think there’s anything too special about you. An older woman is used to being treated in a certain manner and it may take you a while to grasp it, but use your basic manners, and you should be fine. On the first date, more than likely, the woman will offer to pay for dinner or the movies, or wherever you decide to go on the date, but offer to pay. An older woman enjoys younger men, but they don’t want a child to care for.

Here are six tips and things you should keep in mind when you are dating an older woman. Things may be new to you at first, but with time, you will learn the rules and guidelines of dating an older woman, and you may like what you find.
