Ask her if her parents ever told her about "stranger danger". If she says no, say "good!".

How to Talk to an 18 YO
- Thread starter jaymbrs
- Start date
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

18 year olds aren't children lmao most women are as mature at 18 as they'll ever be. It seems like feminists have done a great job of convincing men that older women have higher value than they actually do.This is how children communicate today

Disagree.
Very different dating a 19 yo vs. 28 yo.

Not sure where all you people are finding older women that are interesting, sane, or fun to be around.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

My kids are around that age and I can have pretty good conversations with them. Generally they will up their level of communication with adults. Teen agers are really into current events because they are starting to earn money, and pay taxes, and are thinking about the future.
Did she get her own place recently?
Is she taking new classes this semester?
Every new responsibility she encounters is going to be a huge milestone for her, so let her tell you about it.

I'm nearly 60, Who wants to rob the cradle with those 28yo? 18? Probably can't even spell. They'd all have to be home before the streetlight comes on. But I know a 43yo that looks like a swimsuit model and puts those 18yos to shame.

Depends. I've dated 30+ year-olds that were less mature than a 19 year old I dated. Age isn't a god proxy for being interesting or mature.

18 is mature now? Have we been taking crazy pills? I would hardly describe most ADULT men and women at 30 of this generation to be 'mature'. Now, I'm getting called ignorant by a snot nosed 20-something... a few days ago some kid said "Ok, Boomer!" to me... wonderful. I never thought I would be having this conversation.
From my perspective at 40, 18 is still a kid. From your perspective, that's only 10 years away. This was a person born AFTER 2000... my god that means this person grew up after the internet, after the Playstation 2, just after USBs were invented, Camera phones and Blu-rays. Dude this is all new tech for me, lol. Where did the DVD's, VCDs and MP3's go? I swear to god I just got done playing Kingdom Hearts on the PS2 and finishing a degree I started BEFORE this chick was born. Most of the music selection in my house is either on cassette or vinyl. Smartphones? The only guys I knew who had a cell at 20 were dealing drugs. To me, she's a child.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Well, it's all fun and games until some chick trips over her walker
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I never thought I'd be repeating it. Does time just suddenly accelerate from 20? I feel like that was just yesterday.That's the best time to hit her with a NEG.Well, it's all fun and games until some chick trips over her walker

I still remember things from my teens like it was yesterday. Fast cars on leaded gas with no smog control, chicks that didn't want me, how the lights used to spin on top cop cars, getting arrested...oh,...the memories.My old man used to say stuff like this.

Virginia Hey,...wasn't she the blue chick on Farscape?
I'd show a pic of the one I was talking about,...but she would flip out if she found out. And she's a redhead. You don't want to get the red hair going on a tirade. If I end up ever back are her place again it would be the futon,...again.

Women mature faster than men. Most women in their 30s or 40s have been acting the exact same for 20 years, only difference is that they have more mental issues due to cultural/corporate/college brainwashing, and from dealing with loser men their whole lives.
I have had so many negative experiences with older women (meaning older than 23-25) that I'm pretty much turned off indefinitely from them until I see otherwise. When I'm in my late 30s and 40s I plan to stick with the younger women even if that means limiting my options.
The only problem I run into with younger women is naivete which can be a big turn off, but it's not actually that common.
My friend started dating a 19 year old in his late 20s, and she was one of the coolest and most mature women I've ever met.
Most women hit peak maturity by their early 20s and don't accumulate any more wisdom or sanity for the rest of their lives.
