How To Date Younger Men
Monday August 11, 2008
Dear Mona Lisa,
I'm 38 years old, and I always have been attracted to or dated people people about my age. Now I'm single and I haven't dated for a while (I mean seriously dated). A boy about 20 years old seems very interested in me and I like him. But, I don't know how flirt or approach him. I don't have experience dating younger guys. I hope you understand what I mean. I'll appreciate your advice.
Sincerely,
Arc
Arc my love,
I wouldn't worry too much about this younger dude. The 20-something gays are bolder, more aggressive and much more self-aware than previous generations. If he's shown interest, then he's definitely digging your vibe.
You've been out of the game for a while, so it may seem like you've forgotten how to flirt, but a man's mojo never really fades away. A guy's ability to flirt is somehow embedded in his DNA. We don't lose it, it can just lie dormant sometimes.
But, is flirting with a younger guy the same as flirting with someone your own age? In many ways it is... more

My advice is for the ‘older’ man to do absolutely nothing other than smile and wait to start a conversation at just the most propitious moment - fate and chemistry will do (or undo) the rest.
Thanks Ramon,….whewww what a relief I was begining to worry about that my self as Ive not dated anyone in over 28 years!!
Still,the Vibes as we always called them instead of the ‘dar’ do indeed still work it’s I suppose the new words new converse that worrys many of us especially when a 21 year old shows interest in a 40ish or even 50ish guy.
