What to Wear to Date an Older Man
 Help,
I want to stay young while dating an
older man! I have a unique, creative
and daring style, but I have met
someone who is polished, somewhat
conservative and in a position of power and respect at work. He is a
good bit older than me and I am
confused about how I should dress.
I do not want to give up my stylish
side, but I feel that I need a more
conservative approach due to our work.
He is happy with my youthful look, but
I feel that it boosts his ego and
makes me look too young. I am 30 and I
don't want to dress too old or too
young. Any suggestions? (Myrtle,
MS)
 I
would like to think that the two of
you are dating because you genuinely
care about each other and have a great
time together. Not solely because your
age difference is a mutual ego boost.
If he needs to feel like a spring
chicken again and you are on some
power trip, you are most definitely
writing to the wrong advice expert.
Should this relationship endure, one
day, you won't be sooo young any more
and he will be too much of a
delusional dweeb to realize that he
ain't so studly himself… ponder that!
How this man feels about your dress is
really not my concern. It's
how you
feel about yourself. Obviously, the
guy is attracted to you and the idea
that you feel you may have to give up
your stylish side to be with him
really scares me.
If you feel that you want to look more
polished, pare down the dramatic a
bit. As long as appropriate, your
style of dress can go with your
mood-one day kooky, one day
conservative.
Certain situations and
occasions do call for a more
conservative form of dress than
others-- that's common sense. You
don't show up at a corporate board
meeting in a denim mini and a
corset
top. And, yes my dear, you can have a
conservative, yet fashionable, style
of dress. That means, ditch those
silk, short-sleeve shell tops and
the
dowdy string of pearls.
If you have to dress to please him,
you are not really pleasing yourself.
Go
shopping and find some gorgeous
clothes that make the most of what
you've got… then look around some more
for a more compassionate companion who
accepts you for you and not just for
your youthful appearance.
