What shall I do I am HOPELESSLY ATTRACTED to a man who is 70 years old and I am 28? HELP?

[A no female]

I never met him but saw his debate through utube. I went to google him and it says that he recently got divorced. I have seen he has twitter page and he is writer so I don't know how to contact him and he might dismiss me as such young gold digger and might think I might be interested in his money and to be most honest I don't care if he is poor or rich but the level of attraction I have towards him is something that never happened to me before. Do you think there is any chance to meet him? Also will he read if I can twitter and send him email thru there? But he most probably gets so many emails and i will be rubbished just another fan but I am not a fan of his work and never read his books and have no time to even read the articles he has written. I have successful career of my own in financial firm and I am busy with my own life. How can i proceed? I know it is a long shot help me pls

p.s.. I am aware of the massive age gap but I am attracted to him beyond belief trust me. Shall I send him twitter message and how would i know he read it or shall I send him letter thru fedex that will be hand delivered to him? Which one is better? I don't want to look like a fan cos i am not a fan of his work and I am not some crazy woman but I guess it happens sometimes in life u get attracted to someone and the attraction I have for him is not like any of the attractions i had for all my ex bf's and ex husband even. Help

I got his work email so do u think the work email is better to send or by fedex? work email it might go to the junk or he might get 100 emails in his inbox what will make mine to catch his attention that he will read? I get in my work email after weekends sometimes above 60 emails and i go thru it fast and read imp ones. Also work email means he is more reserved. What do u think? any more ideas? Thanks in advance

You can't tell much about a person from seeing them on a debate on YouTube. In a situation like that people are always looking their best and on their best behavior, and at their most presentable personality wise. I suggest you read ALL of his work before you proceed with any contact. he would probably think it was bizarre that you are so "attracted" to him and yet completely unfamiliar with his work. Also, after studying his work, you may not feel the same way anymore. Also, without spending any time at all in person getting to now him and his history, you're really going in blind. He may be a total A$$ hole in every day reality.

I think you're just nursing a school girl type crush on an interesting older man you know absolutely nothing about. Don't make a fool of yourself by e mailing this man and professing your undying love for him based on a You Tube debate video. He'll immediately dismiss you as a garden variety whack job.

One word comes to mind: stalker. Tread carefully.

I've dated a guy this age, so I don't judge you there, trust me. I do have some suggestions though. You don't know him from just seeing his debate on you tube. If you want to get to know him, you have to find a way to get close to him, which would mean getting a job with him, volunteering where is it at, otherwise, you will come across as a crazy stalker. You could try to email him from afar, but I do think it would be ignored. I think he represents something that you like, but you honestly don't know enough about him to be in love with him. So, if you have a good job, then try the email route first, and tell him how much you liked viewing his debate on you tube, he may then want to correspond with you. Guys this age are very much traditionalists, and they tend to want to get to know a woman, they don't sleep around, then they are more interested in dating a woman. He may think you are too young, but I had a 28 yr. difference and a relationship that has lasted 3 yrs. First, you have to correspond with him, I'd suggest.

You should write him an email and compliment him on the debate that you saw. If he replies, something more than a thank-you, that would be your opening for further dialog and then go from there. If you do anything else you'll probably come across as a psychotic nut job.
