Summarize this article in one sentence.
The age of consent varies from state to state, so know what the legal age is where you live. If you are under the age of consent, do not try to date someone who is over the age, as that can create difficulties in setting boundaries and could potentially have criminal implications. Older guys may have more experiences and freedoms than someone who is younger. They might drive a car, have less or no parental supervision, or have already had sexual relationships. Know ahead of time what you're comfortable with and stay true to that instead of worrying about what he wants. Be confident about telling him what you are and aren't okay with. It's better to know that your expectations are different are early on rather than staying quiet and finding yourself in a compromising situation. Speaking your mind and establishing boundaries are signs of maturity that will make him respect you more. You don't have to wear skimpy clothing to get his attention. If you're comfortable, wear clothes that flatter your figure and make you feel confident, but aren't overly sexy or revealing. You want the guy to be interested in who you are, not just your body; Leave room for mystery. While some guys may like people who seem younger, others prefer someone who acts more mature for their age. Being mature doesn't mean being dry, serious, or boring you don't have to pretend to be someone you're not. Typically, behaving maturely means being confident, comfortable, and cool. If you're a girl, it's said that girls mature faster than boys, so you may already be on the same maturity level as the guy you have your eye on. Avoid being clingy and following him around everywhere. Doing this might make you seem like more of a little sister than a romantic interest. Do not act needy, as this is a sign of low self-esteem. Neediness is unattractive because it demands constant attention, reassurance, and affirmation from another person which can be annoying. Wanting to be with somebody is very different from needing to be with somebody. Don't brag about how "experienced" you are. Trying to seem mature in this way actually has the opposite effect. Being confident in who you are is mature and extremely attractive.
Make sure it is safe and legal. Put your comfort level first, not his. Be yourself and be mature.
