Well, I had an interesting night last night... Unexpectedly ran into an old friend IRL I hadn't seen in a long time, who declared a longstanding crush. He is not my type at all, but we ended up having a really intense snogging session. 
This isn't going anywhere because (as is always the case with me) he's not ready to date (because I know him from RL, I know he has a very recent ex and it's too soon). But it was a lot of fun. He's younger than me and and I don't think I've ever had such a good snogging session in my life.
Not only is he younger, but he's in much better shape than me - physically, I would have said he's out of my league. I had no idea I could even attract men from that league, which is new and surprising information.
Like I said, nothing will happen. (And I'm actually OK with that - which again, is new and surprising information. If it wasn't for the fact that I know he's not ready to date, I half wonder if I could have taken the MBs offered to me on a plate and been OK with that this morning. I've never emotionally felt able to do casual MBs.)
I am wondering if once again, I need to expand my type. I mean, if I knew what made for a good match, I wouldn't still be single. My significant exes have been wastes of space for different reasons, and my OLDs have been all kinds of soul destroying. I have never even looked at someone like this guy before and he felt very very good.
Maybe I shouldn't write off the pretty young'uns...
