In my mid 20s, I had a 30 year old ask me out. We didn't know each other's age when she asked. I respected it - quite frankly I found it incredibly attractive - she knew what she wanted and she went for it. Twas refreshing.

We went out for some drinks and at the end said bye and went to our own homes. I got home and then she called me to ask if I could come round. So tbf, from my only experience of a woman asking me out, she did indeed just wanted to fuck.

That said, I know not all women who'd ask would do that. Just like there are women who assume every man who asks them out only wants one thing. You just have to ask the right kind of person.
