If you are looking for advice on dating a younger man, you should know that you are not alone. In fact the number of women dating younger man has increased tremendously.

Why is it when men date younger women, society gives him a wink and an “attaboy” pat on the back, but when a woman dates a younger man everyone around her seems so eager to hang the scarlet A around her neck? Has our society changed yet to where this double standard no longer exists? It depends on the couple. It depends on the gulf between their ages and what each party is looking for in this relationship.

Since women mature sexually much later in life than men, dating a younger man can make sense. But how young is too young? Obviously, both parties must be legal adults. You could face possible jail time if you don’t adhere to this advice on dating a younger man!

But if you are both legal age, how old is too old? How young is too young? It depends on the individuals. Do you share the same interests? Does he intellectually stimulate you or is it just a physical thing? If what you two have is merely physical, you already know this relationship is temporary.

What do your friends and family think about the relationship? Sometimes your friends and family can be more objective than you can. If they are all saying the same thing, maybe they are seeing what you cannot or will not. Is he only using you to gain “experience” with women or does he truly have feelings for you? Perhaps you are mutually using each other. Do you trust each other when you are apart?

Is it possible for an older woman and younger man to have a strong, beautiful relationship? If the age difference doesn’t bother either of you and you are both in this relationship because you care about each other and can both flourish in this relationship, go for it. If your relationship can withstand the critical remarks made by people who don’t understand, go for it.

But if you build your relationship on communication, trust and love, it will blossom into a thing of beauty. This is the best advice I can give on dating a younger man.
