Hit the weight room. Some of the older women can be heavy to pick up.

The first thing you should do is read up on menopause. She is going to go thru it soon and then we'll see how much you want an older woman! Because I hear it can be very !

Just don't pressure her; she's obviously testing the waters to see what your motives are. Probably wants to be sure you're not just looking to "score" w/ a "cougar". The age difference isn't the problem- she's got to be able to see that you're mature, etc. and not running back to your friends with a story

Thanks for the input. I am let it develop slowly and see where it takes us. I doubt it would be a long relationship but you never know. I'll use some of the ideas you guys have suggested.

WHAT???? I think YOU need to read up on that for 44 is NOT the age where this normally begins. Sheeesh.....

But to OP, just take it slowly like you said. It takes time to get to know someone no matter what the age. However, from what I read, it is not a good start due to your attitude as well, for you too, are not that positive about it. I am 62 and my man is 20 years younger than I am, yet we have so much in common it is like there is no age gap.

Um, no, don't do that.

This!

A friend sent me this message she got on a dating site-- sent from a 32 year old man to a 40 year old woman. (Names were changed to protect the innocent!) Note the use of the word "older" and "more mature" SEVEN times in one paragraph. Total no-no.


My name is Arthur. I reside in Chester Heights. I came across your profile and felt intrigued by what you wrote and your photos. You're probably wondering why a man of my age chooses to write to an older woman.
I was 15 when I entered college and my fellow classmates were double, if not triple, my age. Being surrounded by older peers allowed me to adapt to a more mature environment, which molded me into who I am today.
I feel very comfortable around older individuals because they have more life experience, and this quality makes older women very intriguing to me. I feel that I can connect with a woman of a more mature age much easier than one around my age. My close friends consider me to be an old soul. How do you feel about getting to know one another and having dinner over a glass of wine with me?

Thank you, I await your response.

I told her to take her time and I keep avoiding the age gap so she will "forget". It kinda worked, she went from talking on the internet to texting now..lol

Menopause can start to happen as early as the mid thirties (peri). But it usually starts around 45.
