Older Women Dating in Ireland, Done Right

Older women in Ireland are some of the best company you'll ever keep.
On My Cougar Dates, every woman is open to a younger partner, so the hard part of the conversation is over before you say hello.
What the Lads Say About Older Women

An Afternoon in Galway That Turned Into an Evening
She suggested a walk on the prom in Salthill, the full two kilometres, kicking the wall at the end like every Galwegian does. The wind nearly took the head off you. She laughed the whole way, scarf pulled up, cheeks pink, holding your arm for balance and then just holding your arm.
She's 54, recently divorced, and she's decided she's done being sensible. You end up in a snug with the fire going, then a second pub with a trad session in the corner, then a late dinner where she orders for both of you. When she mentions her hotel is just around the corner, she says it like it was decided a while ago.
Quick Answers for Irish Men
Am I too young for her?
If you're over 18 and she's on this site, she's already decided you're not.
Will she want to meet my mates?
Maybe eventually. At first she'll want you to herself, and she'll want it kept quiet.
What if I'm nervous?
Good. It means you care. Tell her, and she'll probably find it charming. Older women would far rather have a man who's a bit nervous than one who's full of himself.
Does she want something serious?
Some do, some don't, and plenty haven't decided. Ask her straight, answer straight, and you'll both know where you stand.
The Morning After, Irish Style
She'll put the kettle on before she says a word. In Ireland, a proper breakfast after a late one is not up for debate: rashers, sausages, a bit of white pudding and a pot of tea strong enough to stand a spoon in. If she makes you a fry, it's going well. If she asks what you're doing next weekend while she's making it, it's going very well indeed.
Where to Meet Older Women in Ireland
Online, first, because she's already told you the important thing: she likes younger men. After that, Ireland does first dates beautifully. A walk out the East Pier in Dún Laoghaire, a quiet pub away from your usual crowd, a drive along a bit of the Wild Atlantic Way, dinner in a town where neither of you knows a soul. See who's near you, and let her choose the spot.
How to Date an Older Irish Woman
Be yourself and be on time. She's not impressed by your job title or your car. She wants a man with good chat, good manners and a bit of nerve. Treat her as an equal, make a proper plan and keep things quiet, because in Ireland a secret lasts about as long as it takes your aunt to hear it.
