The push and pull of wanting to be in a relationship but being “set in your ways” can be tough. Once you’ve crafted a pretty great life all by yourself, you realize that anyone who comes into it in a big way better be worth it. You take dating more seriously, which is both good and bad. It’s good because you want avoid game-playing and wasting your time; but can be bad if the pressure to settle down leads you to force a relationship that isn’t working. It’s harder because you’re pretty much the fully formed version of yourself. The more you know yourself, the less willing you are to change, the “pickier” you become with your partners—and the harder they become to find.
There’s no point in dating a woman that you know you don’t want to spend your life with. Break things off and move on before you feel too invested to leave. You, like her, might be dealing with scarcity bias. The dating pool has shrunk for the both of you.
Regardless of what the older woman you’re talking to wants, you’re going to know what it is. She’s not going to cryptically hide it from you or make it some detective game for you to try and guess what she’s thinking or what she wants. She’ll know what she wants, and she’ll make sure you know it as well. Some people pointed out that you’re at a very different stage in life as a 21 year old and as a 32 year old. And emotionally an older person is an established and emotionally developed adult whereas someone who is younger than 25 is still emotionally developing.

My friend, she dated her boyfriend over 5 years before they got engaged. Her boyfriend wanted to give her time to become her own person. She is iwantu a widow now but they were very happy together. Not really enough information to think anything. Gone to any work or church functions with him.
My problem is that the guy i am seeing thinks i am 45. Im nervous about telling him i am actually 50 because i really do like him now. I agree that older men now a days don’t know what they want in life or they have way to much problems to bring with them. My bf knows exactly what he wants in life and how to achieve his goals. Like my bf is 6 years younger than me but he looks older than me cause of our difference race. I’ve been together for 15 years now, with my boyfriend who is 8 years older than I am.
Older Women Are More Appreciative
For example, if you start dating someone who is 20 when you are 26 years old, they are within the acceptable age range, according to the rule, but it is the very limit of your minimum age range. As we’ve discussed, pressure can mount and force you to make lasting romantic decisions when you’re in your 30s. You’d date someone for a few months and then hop into a new relationship, unworried by the need to start a relationship and settle down. Sure you don’t want to settle, but there’s also a reason you’re still single. Could it be that your standards are too high? That just one blemish could turn you off?

I think I found it easier to be alone or maybe just without him. My best wishes to all of you older women dating younger men.
