Just wondering if anyone had any tips on how to best go about dating 'older' women. In my particular case, I'm 21 (and undergrad) and she's 23 (vet student). She's kinda religious, but I don't mind as much as I am pretty mellowed out now. I'm not looking for anything serious, just pretty much having fun and figure that since she's a grad student and pretty busy, I won't have to call/text every other minute (as I've found is the case w/ freshman chicks) which is definitely less hassle and fuss. Any thoughts? Thanks!

From my perspective (middle-aged) you're both in the same life-stage, approach her as you would any other woman without regard to age. Any obstacles will have more to do with your personalities, values and backgrounds than an age difference at this point in your life.

Thanks for your input. I was generally thinking we were in the same age setting as well, but was unsure if perhaps there was some type of difference. Once again, Thanks!

Gotta agree with shiiboi on this one. I don't think there's a single bit of difference in two years. Hell, for a minute I thought you were gonna say you were going out with a 40 year old.

maturity doesn't go with age.

if you don't mind the 2year gap, then there's no problem. if she minds the 2year gap, you have a problem..

A 19 year difference would be waaayyy too much for me, though for others, it might not be such a big deal. Thanks for the input.

Edit:

Yeah, that would be a setback if she had a problem with the 2 yr difference...I'm just hoping she doesn't. ;)

NO, it's not too much of a difference, as long as each of you know what the other expects from the relationship. I dated (wrong word, "went off" is a better description) a couple of my high school teachers. Those women taught me a lot.

Don't EVER write off an older woman! Remember those words....
