I dated someone who is older than me by about five years. It worked out fine for a while, but she had a child and I was too immature and scared at the time to commit to anything serious. Now I find myself attracted to women in their 20s and 30s (biological imperative, perhaps), but only if they possess a certain level of maturity and intelligence.
Honesty.
Sex drive.
Intense emotional experiences.
Prepare to wait while she mulls things over. And don’t expect a gush of affection all at once.
Be direct.
Accept that she might not like you.
Mellow the fuck out.
Get stabby.
When I’m aroused. Which is frequently.
Get high (but not too high) and relax.
Complete vulnerability.
Charge ahead. Though by the time I’m charging I know a person well enough to take the risk.
He’s a fucked up human being and strives for what he wants. So really, a human being wrapped up in an archetype.
