That's a typical clueless male response in most situations where they are trying to get that first date. Apparently, all single women should be grateful just to be asked out by a man, any man at all... so when we are asked out, of course we should accept every invitation with great enthusiasm!

I think OP simply happens to like someone who is older than he and is not sure how to go about attracting her attention. I say, just go ahead and ask her out. Five to 10 years is not that big a difference after age 30.

I think that in all fairness to this older woman, samston should think hard about what sort of relationship he wants from her. Sure, he's attracted to her maturity, lack of drama and game playing, and currently her looks, but what about further on down the line? So is he looking for a short term relationship until the women his own age settle down and mature? Does he have any common interests and activities with this woman? Do they have the same tastes in music and movies?

And why on earth would this older woman be interested in dating him? We know why he is attracted to her, but from his previous threads, I don't get a sense that he has much to bring to a relationship as a good companion. And women tend to get more emotionally invested in their relationships than the men do. So what happens to this older woman when samston decides that she's getting old and wrinkly looking and isn't attracted to her sexually anymore? It's not enough to say that an older woman should know better and not expect a long term commitment from a younger man. She still has feelings that can be hurt.

And not all May-October romances are about short term sexual flings. There are a good number of couples that have a happy long term relationships and marriages.

I just stand on the sidewalk outside starbucks with an open box of chocolate turtles.

If that doesn't work just hang a sign on your front door that reads "50% off all Coach products" in large block lettering.

Now that we got that out of the way would you like to grab lunch and then maybe swing by my place? I have a hella lot of laundry and dishes piling up.

What? Wait! Was it something I said?

Can you just answer yes or no when a man ask you out? Do you absolutely need "an offer", like some dating website profile? That must put off a lot of men, it really sounds high maintenance. One could mistakenly assume you're talking about money.

The purpose of a date is to get to know the other person and see what that person has to "offer".

For most people it takes a lot of courage to ask someone out. You should consider that and have the respect to say yes or no politeley, without looking down on them and act as if you were too good for them.
And we wonder why people aren't seducing each others anymore.

Hey I was single for a few years and the first guy that had the balls to ask me out was 21, I was 38. Ok, I was wearing a skirt and he dropped to his knees and got "lost" first..........but if a young guy asks me out....I'm going. Guys my age have always said, hey, you're good looking, are a good Mom, have a nice house, and good teeth...........Sorry I want more than that ! I'm not looking to swap dentures/reading glasses at early 40s. Might have to stick with those sweet young things........................

OP, if you're looking into an older woman just because you want an "experienced woman", think again.

Throughout my personal experiences, I've notice that most young girls nowadays are more experienced and open-minded in bed than older ones.

We're not in the 30's anymore. Most women have had a lot of sexual experiences by age 25.
