Dating Older Men – Does Age Difference Make Any Difference?
By Olga LeFevre
Now and then I hear stories about women dating older men. Does age difference make any difference when dating? That depends on the circumstances. I would like to clarify that in my book, the term “age difference” can be applied to 10 years or more. Anything less than 10 years is not really a difference since we all know that boys mature slower than girls. That means, if you are dating a man who is less then 10 years older than you are, you are really dating a man that is on the same maturity level as you are.
When it comes to age difference of 10 years or more, there are certain factor starting to kick in that might make a difference in your dating life.

Men are like shoes, sometimes you have that old pair that cannot even be donated to charity, but you still wear it until it actually falls apart right on your foot. Or maybe you have an old pair in your closet that you purchased long time ago but you really have to outfit to accompany it, so you just keep it in the closet and try it on once in a while just to make sure that it still fits you and then you put it back into the closet and put on your comfy tennis shoes. There are also men, I mean shoes that you see in the store and they are brand new and so stylish that you know you cannot leave without owning them. Then you bring them home, just to find out that they are not that comfortable and you most likely will struggle wearing them. So you take them back for a full refund.
Men are like shoes indeed. When you choose to date an older man, you have to know that the number of years between you will make a big difference. When you are dating an older man, keep in mind that he is from different generation. His mom was old school, he likes different kind of music, his idea of recreation might not match with yours, his friends are older and so are his friend’s wives and girlfriends. He most likely did more running around than you did and he might be ready to settle down at the time that you are just starting to have fun. Unless you are an older soul and you are prepared to retire early, I suggest you do not get into serious commitment with an older man, because age difference makes difference.
There are positives to dating an older guy as well. He has more experience that you can borrow, ha (hopefully) has his career on track and house paid for, and he is not going to be missing till 4 am on Fridays. The best way to find out if dating an older man is something that will better your life, is to date one or two.
