Same as you, same as me.

I've always been curious if a pretty, early twenties woman find me attractive...as an older man. I wonder about a beautiful older woman who'd find me attractive as the younger man. In both instances, do I miss those everyday occasions where those avenues make themselves evident? How do I...would I...even act upon them to even get to stage one and flirting? Do these things ever really happen? No less, finding someone who loves and shares the same ideas, kinks, fetishes, desires and lusts?
