TIP 2: PREPARE TO BE SPOILED

As people get to know you as a couple, they may become more open minded. TIP 3: DEVELOP TOUGH SKIN

[{"selector":"#anim-f3f78fce-f6a8-4319-bae5-218c1c05fa67","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"fill":"both","duration":1000,"delay":0}] Since your age isn’t something you have in common; you may have fewer interests in common. Try to learn more about their favorite things. TIP 4: CREATE “BRIDGE GAPS”

[{"selector":"#anim-9d63d422-f06c-4748-bf71-cb325dd1fed8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"fill":"both","duration":1000,"delay":0}] The older person might not be as “energetic” as you or be aware of the “latest trends.” They also may be more concerned with retirement and health issues. TIP 5: PREPARE FOR DIFFERENT PRORITES

Ultimately, you may have a lot to face when dating someone much older, but at the end of the day, it’s your decision based on what you find comfortable in your dating life!
