She came to&#8230;to do some signings&#8230; and I got to meet her in person and get a picture and an autograph. She&#8217;s really nice to her fans, even weirdos like me.<\/p>\n<p>So now I have this strange crush on her. I actually want to get to know her, which is huge departure from my usual &#8216;I don&#8217;t really care about anyone else but me&#8217; mentality. How can someone possibly get over someone that gorgeous and sweet? Yet I can&#8217;t really ask her out because she&#8217;s inundated with tons of emails from people&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>How does a mere civilian like me get to actually stand out from the crowd and get to know a woman like her who is in the business? I don&#8217;t want to date her because she&#8217;s&#8230;, I just sort of look at it as an interesting job. Never a dull story when she comes home from work. I want to date her because physically and personality-wise (as far as I can tell) she&#8217;s perfect. Someone would have to be an idiot to not want to stick around and get to know her.<\/p>\n<p>So, of all people, I ask you, Luke Ford, aka The Love Doctor, for help.  <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe emails: I&#8217;ve got a problem&#8230; And I think you&#8217;re the only person who would understand.
