OK, so he's unlikely to be making you a mixtape but dating a younger guy will definitely expand your musical horizons. One of the unfortunate facts of straight relationships is that dudes will obsess over what their girl-buddy is listening to at any given time. It's like they feel a weird macho responsibility to force their music taste on the women in their life. It's hard to see what the biological purpose of that instinct is so it's likely just learned behaviour but it's damn hard to shake. But if you are going to have someone all up in your Spotify business, make it someone who knows about music that you haven't heard of. There are few things more frustrating than a middle aged guy promising to rock your world and then putting on The Who and looking at you like he just blew your mind. But a younger guy will genuinely have suggestions of bands you've not come across because you haven't voluntarily listened to the radio since you turned 25 (except Radio 4. You suddenly love Radio 4 though it's hard to say why).
