Older men dating younger singles: a perfect match?

Have you ever heard the saying, “Certain things get better with age”? That’s definitely true when dating older men. For someone younger, dating a man 10 to 20 years older can provide more than simply great experiences or memories. These relationships can turn into something serious and be a solid foundation for a long-term commitment, primarily because of how younger singles’ outlooks and characteristics often complement those of an older man. An older/younger relationship is not only one of the most common motifs in dating, it’s also one of the most popular.

Older men, dating, and the perks of age-gap romance

There’s something romantic, alluring and even reassuring about dating a man who’s quite a bit older than you. These men tend to be way more well-established and courteous, they’re chivalrous and you’ll never hear the words, “let’s hang out” ever again. Straightforward and assertive, older men act with intention and focus because they’re usually busy living thriving lives with great jobs they’re passionate about.

They’ve also spent enough time in the dating world to know exactly what they like and what turns them off. You’ll never be in an unsure space or gray area when dating an older man because they have neither the time nor the inclination to play games. This aversion to game-playing also means that with an older man there’s more than a modicum of stability and more than simply a “chance” for talks about the future and long-term commitment. In fact, when dating, older men are likely to be as intentional and focused when it comes to planning for and talking about a serious relationship as they are in business.

What can older men get out of the situation?

An older-younger relationship can work wonders for the younger part of the equation, especially if they are looking for older men dating with permanence in mind, men who will stay present with them, who are calm and stable and who have spent time building their lives independently. When a younger person finds the right older man for them, these foundations can make for a soulmate type of love match. But what does the older man get out of the relationship?

Younger singles drawn to older men bring a lot of youth, vibrance and vitality to the relationship. It is a mutually beneficial match that both individuals can experience and can partake of. Often, the younger person tends to be more spontaneous and romantic, which is perfect for the romantic and “old school” older man who knows exactly how to wine, dine and court his beloved but also wants to break up the routine and be surprised every now and then.

Dating older men: taking the search online

As game-changing as dating an older man can turn out to be, nothing changes up the dating world quite like online dating. Taking the plunge and immersing yourself on a dating platform like EliteSingles means that your opportunities for developing a long-lasting relationship with someone compatible are multiplied tenfold. What’s more, online dating is a safe and fun space for younger singles dating in their 30s (or even their 20s) to meet and interact with older men dating over 40, dating over 50 or dating past 60, without being in intimidating surroundings.

It can start off with simple profile appreciation, and can move into a longer, deeper conversation, and even a great first couple of dates. The entire process is much more drawn out (if you’d like it to be) or it can be much faster — but with online dating, both parties have a say. And it’s efficient too: if you find yourself living a more hectic schedule, online dating lifts the constraints of having to trek down to a social setting to interact with local singles.

What’s more, with EliteSingles, you’re not constantly bombarded with messages or meaningless interactions that are not going to result in what you’re really looking for. EliteSingles will send you a handful of compatible matches each day, between 3 and 7, so you’re spending time with an already-well curated list that you can choose to take initiative on and really consider.
