Mature women are quite something aren’t they? They have their own opinions, values and beliefs and they are confident and comfortable with who they are.
Men looking to date can find them intimidating, but it need not be so if you consider this advice:
What women at this stage are seeking is someone honest, both with themselves and with others
The 50+ woman does not want to play games – life is too short. She’ll give straightforward answers to questions and is wise enough to know when to share or not share any sensitive topics.
If they do not feel a connection with you, it is far more likely that they will tell you directly but gently and wish you well, rather than ghosting you – and what’s more they will welcome the same behaviour from you.
Mature women value reliability
Men who are reliable are sure of themselves – they know what they want and mature women like that.
50+ women appreciate men who know how to dress appropriately and do it well
This is a mark of respect and mature women notice when you have made an effort.
Older women appreciate attention and know how to receive genuine compliments
The woman you are dating should be the sole focus of your attention during any meeting. If you can achieve that you are doing well. Flirting with others or playing with your phone will not endear you to her.
Leave your troubles at the door, especially in the early stages
Diatribes about exes are a red flag for mature women, as they signal that the man is not really emotionally available and the date is going nowhere.
Women over 50 are attracted to men who are good company
These ladies prefer men with a sense of humour, who make them feel at their ease. They prefer not to be subjected to any ‘wit’ that could be open to misinterpretation….
Your willingness to be realistic and to take things slowly will be very welcome
Life brings its challenges to all of us in later life, but there is no reason to stop having fun – finding common interests and shared values early on will cement any interest in each other and is a great way to start. Love can blossom at any age.
