Spontaneity And A Senior Woman

Spontaneity And A Senior Woman!Okay, I admit I'm not a senior. I'm not even close so what do I know about senior dating? Well, I think I can teach the older generation a thing or to about what a senior woman wants. It's easy. All I have to do is think about my mom, who is a true romantic at heart. Unfortunately for her, my dad is the typical manly man. I don't think he's given her flowers in the entire time they've been married. He must have something going for him since they've been together for almost 40 years, but romance isn't the secret to his charm.

Back to my point, romancing a mature woman is easy. All I have to do is think of all the things I know my mom wished my dad would do. Besides sending flowers for romance, the most obvious one, there's spontaneity. Doing anything spur of the moment breathes excitement into life, I don't care how old you are. The fact that you came up with an idea for an action or activity all on your own, in comes cases making all the plans, and then just doing it is one of the best ways of making a moment special.

When you're just starting out, change your attitude from asking, 'What do you feel like doing?' How are you going to wow your date if you make her do all the work? Instead say, 'I thought we could go down to the farmer's market and pick up some fresh fruit. After that, there's an outdoor music festival downtown.' What's important is that although she can always reject an idea, you go ahead and escort her to the places and events you planned. That's why it's called 'taking someone out on a date.' You're the one with the responsibility for the agenda. Taking charge shows confidence and confidence is attractive, especially when you're at an age that should have given you a certain level of life experience.

There are also those spontaneous gifts that can in an instant make her forget all of the stress in her life. Giving presents on birthdays and holidays is expected, which adds a whole level of complicated expectations that almost ruins the fun. When it's not expected, it's another story. It doesn't have to be expensive. I once bought my love interest at the time a light blue shirt I bought for six bucks at a used clothing store, wrapped it up in tissue paper and string and gave it to her when we were going out and she 'didn't have anything to wear.' She wasn't completely taken by the act. Another time, I found an old frame and framed the photo booth pictures we had taken a couple months before. To make it personal and since the frame was substantially bigger than the photos, I wrote funny dialogue beside each picture that referenced inside jokes we had between us.

Since you no doubt have a few years on me, you probably have better resources to purchase more expensive gifts. Remember though, it really is the thought that counts and thoughtfulness and originality beat money every time. No matter what worries she has in her life, she'll be utterly impressed by a simple gesture that says you were thinking about her and took time out of your day to go to a store and pick up a little present just for her.
