met an older woman and not sure how to proceedPage 2 of 2    (1, 2)
Okay, let me come at this from the "cougar" angle.....

First of all we are not "loons"... Second, we do know what we want and will pursue it once we find it... Thirdly, we don't want to be anyone's mother.

So far, since I have been single again, I have learned a few things. Guys my age or older are not for me. I have now decided that the best ones are between the ages of 25 and 35... just an fyi for all the other ladies out there. However, if my only intention is to use them as a toy then I am very up front about that. I think we are so used to the younger guys only wanting a to get a piece that it throws off when we meet one that wants more and we don't know how to react, so we just ignore you and hope you will go away. Sorry, if that's too blunt. We admit that we like younger guys, but we honestly don't want to be seen in our circle of friends with you for fear of ridicule.

So, if the last two texts were from you and you have not heard back from her then move on, because she has. She has already realized that a FWB deal will not work with you. Just smile, add her to your cougar list and go on to the next one, enjoy it for what it is.

You're at a different stage of life. Assuming she just wants
somebody to have sex with is likely not true. Sounds
like a porno fantasy. In real life I have found that
women don't seem to want casual sex as much as
the media claims they do.

What she probably is concerned about is your maturity
and whether you will remain interested. Women get
something called Oxytocin in their brains and become
attached to the man they are having relations with.

She probably has misgivings about getting attached
to you because she's concerned about your ability to
integrate socially with her friends, and whether
you will two-time her with women your own age
and leave her feeling hurt, used and unattractive.
