Relationships Between Older Men and Younger Women

Let me start with saying that I am not an expert at relationships by any means. I just know about a few things that work between older ment and younger women when they find they are attracted to one another. There aren't any guarantees that all relationships like this will work out for the best, but there is no harm in sticking your neck out to learn. Personally, I have been attracted to certain older women most of my life, but it always tends to turn me around to find a younger woman who is interested in me.

If you are an older man finding out for the first time that a younger woman is attracted to you, by all means don't fool yourself into thinking a relationship like that won't ever work out. It just might. Now if you are married, I don't suggest leaving your wife for another woman. That is not the point of this article. I am writing in regards to the men who are single either by choice or through divorce. There are younger women attracted to you, but they might be a bit timid about telling you.

There is some body language that is more apparent than others. So men, if you are talking to a younger woman and you begin to notice she is inadvertantly mimicing your stance that is a good sign that she is in to you. Also, if you both are consistently making eye contact and laughing at each others jokes then there is some chemistry there. One way to test this out is to take the first step. What worked for me once, was asking a young lady, "What are you buying me for lunch today?"

I was completely joking, but she took it seriously. We ended up dating for nearly a year when we both decided that we both would rather just remain friends. I still call her up once in a while to see how she is doing. She is married and has three kids. Her husband is okay with the fact that we have remained friends all this time. You never know what life will throw at you.

Anyway, back to the older men. You are the man! Make the first move. Unless the woman you are interested in would rather be the dominating person, so to speak, you will need to "break the ice."

Young women, you also need to not keep a man guessing until he drops dead or turns up one day married. How will that older man ever have a hint of your feelings if you don't say something? If you are going to wait for someone to say whatever magic words you are waiting for you might as well put a sign on you that says, "Spinster." Men can't read minds anymore than you can.

My father and step-mother have nearly a ten year difference between them. Three of four of my siblings have a minimum of an 11 year difference with their spouse, and I don't see them leaving each other period. Age differences should not be an issue if you really care about one another.

There are women that come into where I work all the time either older or younger that end up giving me a business or personal card putting the ball in my court. I am rather leery of this because, I have no idea what they are really like.

I am trying to help all of you to understand that it is YOU that is putting limitations on your selves, and not the other half. You need to decide if being the older man or younger woman are ready for this sort of relationship. You may find that you are more alike than you thought you are.
