Dating an older guy is amazing if the love between the partners is unwavering and very strong. It seems a good deal but there are downsides to the same. It could actually work against you. For example, you may find it hard to 'loose' yourself and do the dirty stuff that your hormones may push you to. You will force yourself to turn down some stuff just to be in line with your lover.
Here are the downsides that come with dating an older guy.
1. 'Too much respect'
It is okay when you have respect for each other in your relationship. The problem arises, however, when the respect bars you from doing some of the stuff that you want to go about. For example, the 'respect' could prevent you from doing stuff like partying and having fun with friends. Even if you do it, it could be way too limited and you won't like it because you will be after doing what they like which may not be satisfying.
2. You may be bended to their will
Just because of the mild fear of a possible finality, you may be resigned to doing all they like. This may happen without you noticing it. You may find that it becomes hard to turn down what they request you to do. For example, if it is hanging out, you may find it okay abandoning your duties to do their will. It could hurt anyways.
3. Denied the chance to be yourself
Once the love is too strong and they realize you can't do without them, they may decide to take advantage of that and decide to make sure you are what they want and not what you deem fit. It could as well be damaging to your self esteem and you will find it hard to revert to who you are.
4. No 'fun'
Dating an older guy could be an hindrance to your chances to fully live in line with the requirements of your body. You may find that some of these guys are not fun-loving and are okay with everything as is.
