Texting Older Women – Dos & Don’ts
It’s always exciting to get to know a potential partner for the first time. However, there are certain do’s and don’ts that you should keep in mind if you’re dating an older woman. Although you want to get to know her on a more personal level, you shouldn’t be too straightforward with your text messages. It is very common for older women to get turned off by younger men who don’t respect their needs. If you want to make sure that your relationship will grow into something more than just casually texting, here are some helpful tips for you.
Texting Older Women – DO’S
1. Reply to all of her text messages
One of the most common confusions involved in texting a potential romantic partner is how often you can text them. It’s important to know that there is no one specific answer which fits everyone’s needs. However, the main rule to follow is that you should continuously have back and forth conversations with her. Similar to how you would flirt with an older woman in real life, you should also provide her with the same attention in the form of text messages. It doesn’t really matter who texts first. As long as you have an ongoing conversation, it sends a good signal to the other person that you’re interested.
2. Give her time to think and respond
It can become very annoying for an older woman if you start texting her with continuous messages which contain different topics. Most older women have a lot of responsibilities on their plate and even though they might be interested in you, you shouldn’t come off as a needy boyfriend. For example, if you text her and say “Do you have any plans for tonight?” and then after two minutes you’ll text her again saying, “When is your birthday?” Don’t break up good conversations by asking her random questions. Make sure that your text messages always involve a sense of intimacy.
3. Respect her personal time
Although you may be really into this older woman, you should still respect her personal time. This means not texting her at 2AM asking how her day went. Doing so will make her assume that you’re just looking for a booty call. The best thing to do to make sure that you’re respecting an older woman’s personal time is by waiting for her to respond to your text messages. She may be busy at the time that you texted which is why she wasn’t able to reply immediately. Be patient and wait for her reply even if it takes a few hours. This will make her feel that you will be a good potential partner for her since you know how to respect her personal time.
Texting Older Women – DON’TS
1. Never talk about negative emotions, feelings or events
One of the biggest turn-offs for an older woman is a younger man who constantly talks about his problems in life. Generally speaking, during the early stages of a relationship, negativity should be completed avoided. An older woman doesn’t want to hear about how much you hate your boss, how bad your day went or how much you’re struggling to make ends meet. Even if you’re having the most terrible day of your life, it’s always important not to go rambling about it to an older woman through texts.
2. Avoid playing hard to get
There is a common misconception that playing hard to get is an important part of every relationship. However, it doesn’t really work out for everybody. Most of the time, people who didn’t play hard to get are now currently in a happy relationship with their partners. On the other hand, those who are still playing hard to get are still playing the dating game. Don’t miss out on all the wonderful memories you can share with your partner. If you like an older woman and she obviously likes you back, don’t miss out on your chance. Don’t ignore her texts and pretend that you didn’t receive any of her messages. Instead, show her that you’re interested by sending relevant and caring text messages.
3. Never send her lengthy text messages
No one has the time nor the patience to read lengthy text messages anymore. Since older women are generally very busy trying to fit all their priorities in one day, they don’t like reading lengthy text messages. In order to ensure that you’ll have a continuous conversation going throughout the day with your potential partner, only send her short text messages. It’s always best to wait for a reply and then send her your response. Make all your conversations lively and engaging by talking about topics which both of you are interested in.
