What are some things to consider about dating someone older than you?
Cupid’s Advice:
Dating an older person seems very appealing: established, experienced, mature. However, there are some things to consider before dating someone older. Here are some tips on how to decide if dating older is right for you:
1. Big age gap: Dating someone older than you definitely has its perks. The idea of dating someone who is mature, distinguished and experienced is appealing. Though, how old is too old? The more years there are in the age gap between yourself and your potential partner, the more difficult it may be to have things in common.
2. Different places: When trying to decide if dating someone older is right for you, think about where that person is currently in their life. The two of you may be looking for two completely different things. While you may be looking to casually date, they may be looking to settle down within the next year or so.
3. Age or maturity: One of the most alluring ideas of dating someone older is the impression that they will be more mature than people your own age. However, age does not go hand in hand with maturity. Maturity, experience and success differ from person to person. All of these positive traits are not guaranteed with dating someone older than you.
