You may be the best thing that has happened to your older man in years!  You are young, talented, and beautiful, but before you think that is all you need to keep yourself hanging on his arm, know that there is a lot of other things going on in your older man’s mind too that he needs to stay interested in you!  

He is watching you daily and thinking about the future with or without you.  For some younger women, it is most likely a future without them because they make mistakes in the relationship that short live their stay with an older man.  The following are 10 mental and physical mistakes young women make with older men:

One.  Unresolved daddy issues.

If he heard one story, he heard them all about young women who have issues with their father and how they look to older men to fulfill their unmet daddy needs.  Now if you are one of those younger women who are still angry about what your dad did or didn’t do for you as a child, then you will have a hard time keeping an older man.  One way you can get over your daddy drama is by contacting your daddy and getting it straight with him.  If he is no longer around, then go to God with your issues or find a man, outside of your relationship, (like a relative or family friend) to talk to about your unresolved issues.

Two.  Comparing current mate with dad or an ex and then telling him about your observations.

Once again, this is a sign to an older man that you have problems with your father or you love him so much that you want a man just like him.  This is extreme behavior and no man young or old once to be compared to another man.  So if he has ways similar to one of your male relatives keep it to yourself and be grateful that you have a good man.

Three.  Expecting him to make changes in his life that you have no control over. 

Haven’t you heard, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks?”  Here is another one for you, “You can’t turn an old dog into a young puppy!”  If you think that he is going to change his 40 plus years of acting the way he currently acts just because he has a younger woman on his shoulder, think again.  Just like there are some habits that are hard to break for you, there are some character traits that may never go away with him.  You either will have to accept him for who he is or move on.
