How To Date Younger Women

Step 1: Look The Part

You won't score a twenty-something when you're fat...so get fit. Pick up a copy of GQ and see how out-of-style you really are. Lose the ball cap and wife beater. At this point in your life, you should know who you are - be it corporate or creative...so own it.

Step 2: Play It Cool

Younger men seem to think talking about doing it and video games will get them somewhere, but you're wise to that and know better. After easing into her radar, evaluate her interest. She may not be looking at you as a love connection. It just hasn't crossed her mind to leap 20 years. If she's not even friendly, forget it.
If she's sending friendly signals...pursue, but play it cool.

Step 3: Act Your Age

She's going to be interested in you because of your age so don't try to act young. Remember, you're a man! Little by little, reveal yourself to her, she loves to imagine you taking her places the younger gents cannot afford. Remember her interests are probably radically different than yours so talk to her about whatever she's interested in. It doesn't hurt to brush up on a little pop culture either.

Step 4: Date Tips

To make sure she knows you're interested (younger girls can be a little naive at times), touch her at every socially acceptable opportunity you get. This doesn't mean you have permission to get all Pepe Le Pew on her. Touch her hand as you admire her bracelet or guide her through a crowd with a hand on the small of her back. Be casual and relaxed at all times. She probably has a lot of emotions running through her and is concerned with how she'll be viewed if seen with you.

Step 5: Embrace Your Differences

Once you've begun regularly dating, remember that you and her are in completely different places in your life. Her life is most likely full of "life-or-death" situations, while you know how to handle the curveballs with finesse. She loves Linkin Park, while you enjoy The Bee Gees. She prefers to gossip about the latest celebrity break up, while you prefer chatting about Sunday Night's big match-up. Remember that she is still growing up...If you decide to go long term.


It's all uphill from here. She'll never go back to him again. He doesn't know where to find the little man in the boat…you do.
