INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you really want to date an older woman, then you have to be secure in who you are. If you have low self-esteem or feel like you can't hold your own in a romantic relationship, then you will have a hard time dating an older woman. Older women who date younger men aren't looking to have a new son or someone to babysit; they want a man who knows who he is, no matter his age. If you lack confidence, then it's time to work on loving yourself for who you are while also addressing your flaws. Avoid being too self-deprecating or saying negative things about yourself routinely. Focus on the things you do love about yourself. Accept new challenges with excitement, instead of excuses for why you would fail at them. Work on exuding confidence in your body language, too. Stand tall, make eye contact, smile, and avoid fidgeting or hunching over. Of course, it can take a long time to truly develop confidence, but you can take baby steps to address the flaws you can address and accept the ones you can't. Make a list of all of the things you do like about yourself and work on expanding that list as you move forward. Another part of being confident lies in being friends with people who make you feel good about yourself; if your friends are always putting you down, then you're less likely to feel good about yourself. Older women don't want little lapdogs who will follow them around everywhere they go; they want men who have their own friends, their own interests, and their own goals to pursue. Make sure that there's a lot going on in your life other than the older woman, so that you can make time for her without wanting to see her 24/7. If the older woman feels like you have nothing going on except her, she's likely to back away. Plus, having your own interests, goals, and outside passions is a sign of maturity and character growth. If you don't have much going on besides your video games, then the older woman is less likely to think that you're a mature, dynamic person. Continue spending time with your friends when you can. You shouldn't drop everything to hang out with the older woman every time. Let her see that your friendships are important to you. Don't get jealous, either. If you often ask her where she's been or how she's been spending her time, she'll feel like you're not mature enough to trust her. Though you shouldn't try to dominate the older woman, you don't want to be completely passive and just to go along with anything she says just because you're younger. Though she may have ideas about how you should spend your time together, make sure that you do some of the planning, too; you don't want her to feel like it's too much work to be with you. You should have ideas about where to dine, what movies to see, or what activities to do together, too. Take turns deciding what to do on your dates. Just because she's the older woman doesn't mean she has to make all of the calls. If you're kissing or getting intimate, you can make the first move if you want to. You don't want her to think you're too timid. Though taking control sometimes can show that you're wise beyond your years, you should be okay with asking the older woman's opinion when you genuinely don't know what to do. Being able to admit when you don't know something is actually a sign of maturity. One thing you want to avoid if you want to have a successful relationship with an older woman is making a big deal about the fact that she is "the older woman." Though some women are happy to talk about this, other women don't want to be looked at as "older" and just want to enjoy their relationships on their own terms. You don't want to accidentally insult the woman you're dating; unless she brings it up, try not to draw too much attention to her age. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/0a\/Date-an-Older-Woman-Step-5-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Date-an-Older-Woman-Step-5-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/0a\/Date-an-Older-Woman-Step-5-Version-2.jpg\/aid428957-v4-728px-Date-an-Older-Woman-Step-5-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

<\/p><\/div>"} Making a big deal about her age will make her feel like you're not comfortable with dating someone with so much more experience than you. This will make you come off as a bit insecure. You may feel like you need a complete personality makeover to have a successful relationship with an older woman. However, if you change too much, then the woman will lose sight of the man she was attracted to, at first. Though you may work on gaining experience, becoming more mature, and holding your own in the relationship, you shouldn't change yourself so completely that the older woman doesn't even recognize the guy who asked her out. At the end of the day, you want the older woman to like you for you, not for some polished, dressed up version of who you are. If you feel like you're not being true to yourself anymore, then you need to stop. If you really want to have a meaningful relationship with an older woman, then you shouldn't hide important parts of yourself just to seem older. Let her know who you really are.

SUMMARY: Exude confidence. Impress her with your independence. Take control when you can. Don't make a big deal about her age. Don't change too much for her.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Slugs generally do well in aquariums. An aquarium should be at least 20 centimeters by 20 centimeters (8 by 8 inches). You can buy an aquarium online or at a pet store. Make sure to provide proper ventilation. The lid should have holes for ventilation. Something like a mesh lid, for example, would work well. Slugs are very small, especially in comparison to reptiles that are usually kept in aquariums. Examine ventilation holes carefully and make sure a slug cannot creep out of these holes. It's best to use soil, grass, and leaves from outdoors for the substrate. If you took the slug from outdoors, use soil, leaves, and grass from the area where you found it. Make sure to sift through soil before adding it to your aquarium to remove any bugs. Once a week, remove your slug and put it in a safe container with air holes. Remove the substrate and then replace it. Slugs may benefit from certain aquarium supplies such as fake plants and leaves. You can also bring in real material from outside, such as twigs, for slugs to climb on. If you bring anything in from outside, make sure to inspect it carefully before putting it in your slug's tank. Slugs prefer temperatures between 6070F (1621C). Put a humidifier next to their aquarium to keep them hydrated. If the aquarium is too hot or cold, the slug will bury itself and produce more mucous. If it is not humid enough, the slug will dry out.

SUMMARY:
Find the right container. Provide substrate. Invest in aquarium supplies. Keep the room cool and humid.
