I’m a 59 year old male, have experienced age gap relationships both online and the real world, and I find the dynamics can be interesting in so many ways. Perspectives vary widely, as do interests, and I find it fascinating to just be engaged, with people of all ages. A conversation can lead anywhere or nowhere, so being open to it without expectation or attachment is my approach - “interest” suggests there is “attraction” or “meaning”, though doesn’t mean it’s about romance or sex - if the conversations flow in that direction, so be it, though there are many other directions and “reasons” to engage that are of equal or greater interest possible. One should probably know themself well, their interests and/or boundaries, and proceed in an open, curious and cautious, way that’s appropriate for them.
