How to Date an Older Women

Dating an old women is a quest full of difficulties. Known colloquially as "cougars," these rare creatures are graceful, elusive, and often found in their natural habitat in luxury hotel bars and art galleries.

But despite the danger, they are beauties worth getting close to. Like the big cats that earn their nicknames, cougars are solitary creatures, successful predators, and definitely worth the wait.

So after Mrs. Robinson is right in front of your eyes and manages to catch a cougar, what do you do next? The doorframes will move when you join the club from May to December, but read the unwritten rules below and you'll soon have your cougar snoring.

Don't be immature

This goes without saying, of course, but let's start with the basics. Unless she has a distorted and unhealthy obsession with chasing, in this case running from, a much younger man, then their age difference is probably just a byproduct of a normal relationship.

She likes you for you, you like him for him, and age, as the old saying goes, is really just a number. But while age doesn't matter, attitude does. If you're still in your twenties, still drinking regular jugs, and leaving the house on a deckchair is acceptable, chances are you'll get bored in no time.

So it fits. Dress like a boy, not a boy (you don't want people playing "toy or son" while you walk), and start whetting your appetite to the mild end of the spectrum.

No need to order beer to go, or sit at home and eat dry granola straight from the breakfast box. Instead, learn to like decent Scotch whiskey, overhaul your diet as a whole, and invest in cufflinks and coffee.

Older is not necessarily wiser

We are commanded to respect our elders and seek their advice and guidance, but this is the truth: older people are not necessarily wiser. These may take a few years, but they will be just as full of mistakes and misjudgments as any others.

Therefore, it does not specify the connection address. The balance between responsibility and decision making should be divided equally between the two of you and should not "follow". What are we…

Be confident and independent

Since they are of different ages, they may have different interests and it is important not to lose them. She may not have Snapchat or Instagram and will often make pop culture references that will really disappoint you, but don't let that bother you. You are a different person, so celebrate your individuality.

Certain. Don't hide your addiction to apps or keep your youthful taste in music from your partner. She should like you for who you are, and that proper youthful energy is attractive, as long as you don't revert to the reckless, addictive college lifestyle. She is looking for a man, so be it.

Don't mention age

She may be looking for a man, but she will never set an age for what a "man" should be. So don't try it yourself. When you mention or emphasize the age difference too much, the entire relationship will sink into the depths of novelty and eventually boil down to nothing more than a number.

Be happy that you both like each other enough to be together. Don't worry about the future, enjoy the present, and respect each other for who you are, not for the years you've struggled with them in the courtship arena.

But when someone mistakes her for your mother, it might be time to move on...
