Dating and Older Woman Advice

[Tex2008]

Hey Guys,

I used to work with a very attractive woman who is 40. I am 26. When we worked together, I sensed some chemistry and she mentioned she likes younger guys. Dating older women does not bother me but the age range between the two of us is quite significant. She no longer works at my company, so we don't have to worry about running into each other at work. I'm thinking about calling her up to go get drinks. Does anyone see anything weird about this?

[{aspiring_to_clarity}]

In general I don't find it weird.

Go for it.

It doesn't matter whether someone else finds the things you do weird.
Just do the think that you feel is the right thing to do.

I don't, but that's not relevant. Do you see anything weird about it?

Honestly, I don't see anything weird about it. I am attracted to her and we are both single. However, she got pissed off and stressed out very easily at work. She has since quit, which I think was in her best interest. She was not a good fit for her job role at my company. So I am somewhat apprehensive for fear that may be the way she is general but now that she doesn't work there anymore she may have a lot less stress. Which is why I think it will be good to go out for drinks and see how things go.

Listen to your inner sense and trust your judgement. Would you want a relationship with her and her stress levels. The chances are if that is the way she is at work you would be likely to see it at some stage in a relationship with her.

Age can be an issue for things like having children but other than that it is whether it is a problem to you, rather than others

But this doesn't have anything to do with her age.

I can see how it could be a concern for you. If this is her natural reaction to stress, it will probably show up in other situations too.

Why do you want to date a woman whom you already know to be often pissed off and stressed out in the first place?

As Rose mentioned, none of this has anything to do with her age, does it? If you're attracted to her, explore the attraction with an open heart. What is there to be afraid of? If you don't like to be around her because of her pissy/stressy then all you've lost is an hour or two and the price of some cocktails. She's not going to haul off and clock you, is she? You're not signing up for an arranged marriage, are you?

Go, have some fun, find out more about your attraction.

Rose, this line made me laugh, because I've known a few men who were only attracted to pissed off/stressed out women. They never wanted to go out with ME, of course!

Just ask ALL of these people if they think there is anything weird about it!

I am in sales and she was my inside support. Besides her getting stressed all the time she would mess up orders quite a bit that ended up costing me. So naturally in the workplace it was difficult to fully see myself dating her because I would be frustrated with her. She added a lot of stress to my life at work. But it was difficult to get too mad at her because she is gorgeous and it's not like she is a bad person. In fact, some times when I was on the road we would talk for awhile.. of course.. keeping topics limited since we were at work. I found myself trying to encourage her, even though every time she messed up, I got hit financially in the process. Now I don't have to worry about that. Think I'm going to give it a whirl..

If you're awkward, she'll feel awkward.

If you're cool with it, she'll feel cool with it.

Even if she says it is awkward, but you maintain you that its not, your confidence will rub off on her.
