Nerve Dating Confessions

I am in my mid 40's and I like it (usually) but I know other women my age that don't so there is no clear cut answer. Just approach us, our reaction will tell you if are interested. Just FYI my general rule is if you are over 21 you are fair game, I might have fun with you but I wouldn't plan on a real relationship.

Be super sure she knows you're being sincere. I'm an attractive, well built 40 year old, with good self esteem. When a young man approaches me, I'm always a little suspicious of a gang on frat boys laughing on the sideline.

of course it's ok...don't be creepy and start talking about how much you like older women. i dated this guy who was five years younger than me who wouldn't shut up about that, wtf...

Early 40s here, and I agree with all three posters above.

I'm not sure what you consider older or what your motivation is. I'm 35, and I constantly get approached by much younger guys, but it's more because I look younger, so they actually think I'm younger than I am. I have dated a few guys 8 years younger than me, and I don't really feel comfortable with an age gap bigger than that. I have friends of all ages, though, so I welcome anyone to come and talk to me. I'm not really into casual sex, and I'm wary that younger guys just want to sleep with me and aren't interested in an actual relationship. If they really are serious about actually dating, it's going to take some time to convince me.
