How To

How to date someone older than yourself

There are many things to take into consideration when you're dating someone older. Age isn’t just a number. Experience, wisdom and maturity are all important. If you're looking for love, these tips will help you avoid common mistakes and find happiness with someone much older or younger than yourself.

Although experience doesn't always equate with age, living longer can give you more chances to grow and learn, make better decisions, and be a better person. It opens up whole new worlds that you might not have had access to if it was your youth.

As you age you become more mature and wiser. This is true not only for your personality but also for how you act, think and feel. You can use the lessons learned from your youth to better understand yourself.

Here are some tips to help you find a partner who is older than you.

Be open-minded

It's important that you remember that everyone is unique and no two people can be exactly the same. While you may be able to relate to someone older than your age, you might not. That shouldn't stop you trying! Remember that everyone has something special and valuable to offer, whether they're older or younger.

Don't be afraid to ask questions

Don't assume that because someone is older than you that they know everything. Ask them questions. Listen carefully to their answers. This will allow you to learn why they behave as they do and make it easier to establish relationships based on mutual respect.

Have Fun

While you should never forget that you're dating someone older than you, you shouldn't treat him or her any differently than anyone else. Enjoy the relationship and the experience together, not worrying about who is the "younger" partner.

Learn from each other

As an older person, the best thing you can to do is to help others. Mentoring, teaching, volunteering, or just sharing your knowledge is a great way to gain experience and knowledge from someone who has lived and grown over the years. And learning from someone else is much less intimidating than asking someone for advice directly.
