27M and for as long as I can remember I've been very attracted to older voluptuous women. A few years back when I was in college, I likely had a shot with one of my professors...but ultimately I chickened out. She was around late 30's - early 40's and giving me subtle though clear signs of her 'more-than-casual' interest, yet I never took the necessary steps forward to have anything sexual between us a reality. On top of that, she had an amazing personality and perfect body. Still bums me out to this day HENCE one of the reasons why I am currently writing this post (and because of consistently hesitating to just converse with older women in general, and never finding out how things may turn out).
Generally speaking from your experience, how does a guy approach/communicate his interest with a woman that is noticeably older than him? Is it just like talking with any other woman or are there notable things that should be considered? If you're an older woman reading this (I don't mean "older" in any offensive way), how would u like guys younger than u, that're interested in u, to communicate their interest? What was your experience with a younger guy (i.e. how did u meet, anything that stood out that really connected u, etc.) ?

If I am posting in the wrong subreddit, or if this community just doesn't really discuss these things, then my apologies - feel free to disregard my post.

Thanks
