When Your Love Life Was Hush in Earlier Years

Dating During College vs Dating Above 40
Let’s have a fair comparison to put out the facts in front so that you can decide what the differences are!
Dating during college:
- One is young and is not able to foresee and analyze situations.
- Hormonal changes lead to taking wrong and not so wise decisions.
- One tends to live in their fantasy world because they are full of energy and emotions.
- There are no (or very few) serious responsibilities.
Dating above 40:
- One can analyze situations from all aspects.
- Maturity takes over, and this leads to better decision making abilities.
- The fantasy world’s bubble has been popped. One becomes practical.
- Career and responsibilities become priorities.
Life takes a 360 degree turn when a person grows up. Things change emotions, and their intensity varies. The priorities change. This does not mean that one cannot be in a relationship after they have crossed their thirties.
Women in their forties or who are above their forties do not let anyone bring them down. They don’t settle for less and speak for themselves. However, when you’re young things are different and so are the emotions. Young girls fall in love quickly. They get cheated by men easily. Women over 40s are not an easy catch for men because they know their worth, and they don’t fall for cheaters, and people who are approaching women for timepass.
There are some fantastic tips that one can see in the other person to know whether the other person is interested in them or not.

How To Move The Relationship Forward
Once you’re sure that the person likes you or loves you, it’s okay to make the first move. Being in a relationship is essential because people often feel incomplete. When people grow old, they feel the need to have people around them. You should set boundaries and talk it out like a mature person. If you feel super positive and alive around them, then it is perfect to be with that person.
Knowing how much energy the relationship requires is essential so that one can analyze whether a person will be able to invest the necessary amount of energy in the relationship or not. At the age of 40, the settlements are different. People talk about long term investments and plans, careers, and goals. They want a secure future, along with love. Moving forward will require a lot of energy, emotions, and practical aspects. This may include decisions regarding one moving out or the other moving in.
What If He Had A Relationship Before? (Divorce, With Kids Etc.)
It doesn’t matter if the person has had relationships in the past, as long as the present you share is beautiful. A divorcee should get a chance to have love in his life. If you are okay with kids, it is a plus, and you can also always talk it out if you can’t take the children’s responsibility.
It is also beneficial if you invest a little about the past of your partner. Hearing one side of the story can make you take biased decisions about your life. However, if it is possible to approach the exes of their current partners, they should know what happened and what led to the breakup.
All of these factors require communication. It is the key to have a successful relationship. Being in a relationship requires trust, support, love, etc. These are highly important, and the past shouldn’t come in your way if all of these factors are present in your current relationship.
