10 Reasons Why It’s So Good To Date Someone Older

1. Older people are incredibly empathetic.

They tend to be more empathetic. They are incredibly attuned to the emotions and feelings of others, especially those around them. Often, they will be able to sense (sometimes even before you) when you need space, or when you simply need a hand to hold.

Their heightened awareness of what their needs are at any given time makes them wonderful partners.

2. They don’t play games.

Older people are not interested in playing games to get something that interests them. In fact, they think the rules of modern dating are downright exhausting.

For them, it makes no sense to act like they don’t like someone when they do, or to leave someone they really like with. Someone older than you will always show you how he feels and never leave you in doubt.

3. They don’t care about being the one they love most in the relationship.

Older people recognize that they experience the world very intensely and express what they feel very deeply as well. This includes the ways they will love you.

They understand and appreciate that not everyone will love or can love the way they are, and therefore they are happy being those they love most deeply. After all, they know it’s not a matter of loving more. It’s just that they love differently.

4. They are fiercely loyal.

They will always stand when you can’t get up and they will always be there for you when you need them most, especially in the most difficult times of your life.

I want more than love, I want a partner in crime.

Loyalty comes naturally to older people because they have learned that loyalty is the foundation of strong, healthy relationships.

5. They will continue to care for you even when you don’t believe in yourself

When you’re at your worst and need a shoulder to cry on, they won’t abandon you and they will never judge you. They understand that going through difficult times is part of the human condition and will love you through your darkness because they still see all of your light.

6. They will love you in the day-to-day details.

Older people know that it’s the little things that make up our lives. They won’t just be another date to hang out with, but instead they will look for the fleeting moments of everyday life to show they love and care for you. They know it’s these little cases that matter most.

7. They will always fight for you.

Even when they’re frustrated or angry with you, even when all hope seems lost. An older person doesn’t give up on true love so easily.

8. They know that love is not easy.

They understand that love takes work. They also know that it is made up of compromises and sacrifices. They don’t have an idealistic and unrealistic view of love, as they know it will never be perfect, but that if the two of you work hard together, everything will work out.

9. They will open your eyes to a whole new way of seeing the world.

Older people have a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. They look at the way life happens in a unique and appreciative way, the way you never thought to consider before meeting them.

10. They’re not afraid to show you how much they love you.

Despite the rules of modern dating, despite being part of a world that fears intimacy and connection, an older person will love you openly and proudly, embracing the vulnerability that is necessary for deep love with grace and passion. You will never experience another love like your lover.
