<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

I'm a 40 year old woman.  I have been getting hornier and hornier as I get older, but I'm also a lot more picky about sex partners now than I used to be.  This means I spend a lot of time being frustrated.  Masturbation is nice, but I crave connection and touching someone else. 

I'm a student at a small college.  There are a few students my age or older, but most of them are typical college-age.  Since I'm spending most of my time (when I'm not alone) on campus, I'm surrounded by hot, young men.  There's one guy in particular who I'd love to get to know.  He seems pretty into me too, but it could just be my crazed, hormone-ridden  imagination. 

The problem is, I have no idea if it would be inappropriate for me to ask him out.  I'm fit, healthy, and attractive, and I've been told I look very young for my age, although I do have a bit of a saggy belly.  He looks about 24 or 25.  Would it be creepy for me to bring this up with him?  Do young guys actually like cougars?  If I was going to bring this up, what might I say?  How would I start the conversation? 

Maybe you're wondering why I can't find a nice guy my own age.  I don't get out much.  I have social anxiety, and I tend to stick to my routine.  Right now, my routine is school.
<bot>: Is it really okay for a 40 year old woman to hit on a 20-something man?  How should I go about it?
