Did you meet a handsome older guy but have no idea what to text him?
Texting an older man can be a slightly different experience from texting someone your age.
First of all, you need to keep in mind that older men are usually not as good at texting as younger guys.
Secondly, older men need to feel comfortable before they will open up to you.
Mistakes can be costly for older men when it comes to flirting with much younger women.
Not only his career might be affected but he may even lose the respect of some of his friends if he mistakenly starts flirting with a younger girl thinking that she likes him.
Besides that, there are almost daily stories on social media and news about older men being accused of something inappropriate.
All of these force older men to be much more careful when dating someone younger.
Finally, there is an age gap that you have to take into account as well.

How to Make Older Men Comfortable Chatting With You?
1. Tell him that you are not attracted to guys your age.

Give him compliments on his personality, his style, or even the way he looks.
3. Don’t be afraid to be the one to text him first.
The goal is to show the older guy that you find him interesting and want to spend more time with him.
Don’t make him guess too much whether you are attracted to him or not.
This will make him feel more comfortable chatting and flirting with you.

How About the Age Gap When It Comes to Texting?
If he is a much older guy, he might not be up to date with all the abbreviations used in texting.
Avoid acronyms like ttyl, atm, imo, rofl, smh, ily and so on.
Older guys are also less forgiving when it comes to misspellings and typos so double-check your texts.
You don’t want to sound like a kid who doesn’t know how to write.
Another thing to keep in mind is that he grew up in a different environment without social media so he might not understand all the jokes that guys of your own age might find funny.
