You fell madly in love with the perfect girl, there is only one problem: she is a little older than you. Would you like to know the ways to attract older girls and hopefully get the girl of your dreams?

Attracting a girl older than you is not much different than attracting any other girl. Here are some tips to help you.

1. Work up your courage and don’t be afraid to ask her out. Hey, we are living in modern times and age is not a big issue anymore. Plus, she’ll be impressed if you have the courage to ask her out on a date. She shows that you are mature and that she is not intimidating.

2. Be mindful of your hygiene and appearance. You don’t have to go all out, but at least style your hair and wear some cologne. You wouldn’t impress her if you walked up to her looking all scruffy and smelling like you haven’t showered in days.

3. She may have trouble dating a younger guy, but this shouldn’t stop you from dating her. Show him that you can be confident and mature. Avoid playing video games or joking about silly things, anything that you think will turn her off.

4. If she is only a year or two older than you, then you like her more or less the same. If her age difference is almost a decade, she may have different interests and she will have to try harder to prove herself. She is just trying to avoid doing immature things and impressing her with your good manners and behavior.

5. During conversations, some older women would be more impressed with serious topics. You can talk about the concert you saw last week, but also tell something about work and ambitions. You can also talk about books, music, and movies, as long as they’re the kind of guys your age that like them.

6. Don’t dominate conversations and let her take the lead sometimes. You can’t talk about yourself all the time and not expect her to get bored. This applies to all girls, so give them a turn to speak.

7. Any girl wants to get compliments, so tell her how beautiful she looks or how smart she is. Be honest though, she’ll find out if she just kisses her. Also, never refer to her as an “older” woman.

8. Try to relax when you talk to her. It doesn’t bite, and being intimidated and nervous won’t make much of an impression. She will be more attracted to you if you are confident.

9. One of the best ways to attract girls older than you, or any girl, is to be yourself. Don’t try to act smarter and be a know-it-all (unless you really are smarter). Trying too hard to make a good impression will only make you look silly, and you may not be taken seriously at the time.
