How To Get An Older Man To Like You

Act mature for your age

If you want to get an older man attention and get him to like you, you need to act mature for your age which means the following:

• Control your outburst by not overreacting
• Don’t go too far with joking around as it could be seen as childish
• While having a conversation with him, do not randomly change to too many different topics
• Don’t argue over stupid stuff just to make a point, respect other people’s opinion.
• Be sincere by talking less and listening more to what he says when he is talking to you
• Be confident but not too much
• Don’t be an attention seeker by trying to be the center of attention. Older men don’t like it.
• Don’t obsess about what people think and say about you.

Get to know him a little

When trying to approach an older man, make an effort to find out what he likes by carefully observing him or speaking to people that know him, like his friends. Find out the things that he is interested in from the sports he may like watching or taking part in, the music he enjoys listening to and seeing, like, the musical theater and even the books he likes reading.

If you don’t know much about his passions then educate yourself about some of the things that he likes so that you will have something to talk about. Find out if he is the type of man that would enjoy receiving small gifts from you by reading up on Do guys like getting gifts or if he would feel offended.

Figure out what he likes and wants in a woman. Some of these things could be:

• A woman who respects his personal space
• A woman who’s independent and confident
• She is open and honest with him by being herself at all times
• A woman who loves life and is seeking new experiences and adventures
• A woman that is emotionally mature and stable 
• A woman that accepts his lifestyle, his commitments to work, and if he has his own children.

Talk to him

Once you have learned what some of his interests are and a little about who he is as a person now is the time to come up with ways on how to talk to an older man and impress him. Strike up a conversation with him even if at first it is to ask his opinion on something, that will get him to notice you.

Then you can slowly move on to asking him questions about himself and the things that he enjoys doing. But do not bombard him with too many questions all at once, try to act natural and let the conversation flow easily.

In the beginning, it does not matter if you already know the answers to some of the questions. To get an older man to fall in love with you, make him notice of your interest in him.

When having a conversation with an older man there are a couple of things that you should keep in mind:

• Keep things simple, don’t play mind games with him
• Be honest with him, especially if you want a long term relationship with him
• Be confident in who you are and what you want
• Be yourself, don’t  pretend to like everything he likes, give your own opinions
• Add a little humor to your conversation
• Be more of a listener than a talker as he will feel that what he is saying matters
• Try to ease into having a more intelligent conversation with him. But don’t come across as a know it all, let him teach you things.

Compliment and praise him

We all love compliments and praises and older men are no exception. Once you know each other a lot better, you can complement and praise him whenever there is a need for it. He will love this as he will realize that you have taken notice of him and certain small good deeds that he has done and he will appreciate you for it.

Some compliment ideas are:

• Compliment how good he looks, the good smelling cologne he wears, the clothes he wears, and his hair
• If he works you can compliment him on how dedicated he is to his work and that you think that he does an amazing job
• You can tell him that you find him to be a very interesting man. That he is fun to be with. You love the conversations that you have as he is always teaching you something new.
• If he has children, compliment him on what a great father he is because who can see that his kids love him very much
• You can tell him how much you love his positive energy, he is one of the good guys who are intelligent, helpful, and that he is an inspiration to you.

Flirt with him

You can seduce an older man by starting to flirt with him to get him to fall for you. This will let him know that you are interested in being more than just friends. If you find yourself wondering how to flirt with an older man?

Here are some things you can do:

• Flirt with your eyes by looking at him and smiling
• Dress appropriately but also show a little skin
• If he has mentioned he likes a certain perfume that you wear, make sure you wear it when you know you’re going to see him
• When he looks at you touch your hair, your neck, or your lips
• Touch him “accidentally” by resting your hand on his when you laugh at something he says or touch his shoulder or arm when you lean over to tell him something.

Tell him how you feel

When you have a crush on an older man be honest with him and tell him face to face that you really like him. Tell him how you enjoy spending time with him and you would like to make it a more regular thing. He will either feel relieved because he feels the same way or he will tell you that he is not interested in a relationship.
