Age Difference
How to take an older woman out on a date?
I'm 19 and a single young college guy. I met a beautiful older woman the other night who I would guess is between the age of 27-30. Somewhere in that range. She gave me her number and I told her I'd call her next week and we'd get together. Next week has arrived and I want to call her but I don't really know how to go about this.
Anyone have some advice for me on taking an older woman out on a date?

Hey HomeBoy, First of all, right on man...
Hey HomeBoy,
First of all, right on man, congrats! Next thing to point out is to avoid cliched dates, such as dinner-and-a-movie. Instead, choose some activity or event that doesn't include drinking (or some environment that allows you to drink also, like a party). If she can drink but you cannot, that might further exaggerate the age difference.
She may prefer a one-on-one, as opposed to meeting a bunch of your "younger" friends. Maybe not though, so test the waters on that one.
When I flirt with a girl who's older than me, I like to joke that I'm too young for her (*NOT* that she's too old for me, remember that), or accuse her of "robbing the cradle". By doing this, it acknowledges the so-called pink elephant and lets her know that you're OK with the age difference. If you're comfortable with it, she'll be a lot more comfortable too.
Generally, age and maturity can be closely related, so assume maturity (not necessarily to be confused with "well-mannered" or "more appropriate"). Matching the maturity level is much more important than trying to down play the age difference...it's only a few years anyway.
So, to recap:
- Plan the date well.
- Find out if she's down for hanging out with your friends (have a backup plan if she's not down).
- Flirt in a way that makes her feel more comfortable about the age difference.
- Connect on her level, not just with her "age group".
Let us know how it goes :)
