thirty, flirty and thriving?

Older men.
I have joked about dating someone older. Especially after the ones around my age end up being no good, immature boys. Theres something sexy about an older man. But wait, is there?
The positives about an older man?
1) More likely to be stable
2) Should know what they want
3) Life experience
4) Should be more intelligent then the average 20 something
5) Should be financially stable
The Negatives about an older man?
1) Different stages in life= Different expectations
2) His older friends/couple friends
3) Possible risk of him being condescending
4) Obviously old and people get confused and think hes my Dad
5) The risk that hes not all of the positives and he should be at that age?

Ok. So confession time. The reason this has got me thinking is because I have recently have someone 'Persue' me... sort of. I meet him one night, while out and about, I asked him where he worked. He told me he worked for the same place that I did. He worked in a different department and in fact a different building. His building however, was moving down to my building in the next couple of weeks. We hung out for ages that night, and got on really well. This was a thursday night. Then on Monday when I was back at work, I had an email from him. And we have been emailing back and fourth. There is somethings you need to know about me. I have a type. I like brown guys, brown guys who are well dressed, and usually around my age. Both my ex's and ex situtations have reflected these things. This guy, is like the complete opposite. Hes white, 32years old, english but he does have quite good style. Like Im not sure if its too my liking, Its still a little average for me but none the less, the man knows how to dress himself appropriately. Im not talking Planet 8, and those greasy long leather shoes with baggish jeans and a shirt- to me thats fairly disgusting. He more or less dresses like hes 10years younger then he is, skinny jeans, shirt buttoned up to the top, swishy hair and black chucks. So not realllly how a 32 should dress right? is there a right and wrong way to dress at that age? Its not ancient. Thinking outloud here. ANYWAY silly tangents I take, I dont know how to take this guy. Like hes 32, is travelling here, goes out a bit, just generally sounds like he dosnt have his shit together and to be honest, its a little unattractive. He has owned a house, has lived and travelled all over the world, so maybe he is just letting loose here? Hes super funny. Anyone can be funny though. He takes my rudeness well, and not anyone can do that. It takes a special breed. But yeah, at the moment its harmless and im open to getting to know him more , there is one giant elephant in this room of oppertunity though. Im not over someone else who is so important too me.
I did read this cool quote on this site that im a regular at :

"...........he is 14 years older than I am and in a different stage of life. His friends have spouses and children. My friends have flings and drinking problems.he is 14 years older than I am and in a different stage of life. His friends have spouses and children. My friends have flings and drinking problems."

so true.
