Romantic Dating

I'm not sure if it's true or just a marketing ploy, but every time you turn around it seems as though some guy is dating young women. Now, personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with dating someone younger than you.

To me, it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman who is dating someone younger than them, as long as the relationship is between two adults and is based on love and respect, age doesn't matter.

However, that doesn't mean that dating young women doesn't have some possible challenges. There are some things that you should be aware of before you consider entering into this type of relationship.

If you take the time to think things through at the start, you have a better chance of making things work out.

So, think of these things first:

1. Age isn't just about numbers, in most cases it is about life experience. Some things can only be learned by experiencing them. That can be one of the biggest problems if you try to date someone younger than you.

It's about more than immaturity, it's just about being young and not having had many life experiences. Sometimes that chasm between the two of you in terms of "worldliness" can cause frustration and eventually may even eat away at the foundation of the relationship.

2. Maturity, is closely related to point number 1 and life experience. Though some people who are older and have a lot of life experience can still act incredibly immature. Unfortunately, life experience and immaturity are not mutually exclusive.

So, when you start dating anyone, but particularly a younger woman, take it slow and make sure that the two of you are not only compatible but on the same level in terms of maturity.

3. Another very real issue is the stamina issue. And no, I'm not talking about sex, I mean just in general. I have a friend who is married to an older man and he can't keep up with her.

She likes to go out dancing and hiking and a lot of active things and he simply can't keep up. In the early years of their relationship, she was so in love and everything was new so it was pretty easy to overlook it.

But now, after a dozen years, she is starting to get unhappy because the man that she loves can't (and won't) share in the activities that she enjoys doing.

Make sure that you will be able to keep up with a younger woman not just in the bedroom but out of it as well.

Even if you are older than her, there is no reason you can't keep up as long as you take good care of yourself and stay in shape. Age, to a large degree, really is just a number.

I don't want to make this article sound like a diet and exercise article, but by keeping yourself in good shape and exercising you will be better able to keep up with your lady.

That will make it easier dating young women.
