Old Men Like me

A man asked me out today on the phone. I haven't had that happen since i was 18. The worst part of it is - he's probably in his 70s and very eccentric. The other man who is infatuated with me said he would give me his heart, lungs, liver, or whatever i needed. He wants to give me money and a new car and a new business. I have done nothing to warrent such affection - i assure you. But it's very difficult to bite my tongue and not say yes when he asks "isn't there something that you need money for?" - He told me he has never know true love until he met me!??? He doesn't give me the creeps but it is VERY weird.
Is that all i can attract?? Old men, eccentric old men who all seem out of their minds???
I feel deflated, i feel old, ugly and unattractive.

The man who asked my out was an actor who stared the movie Studs Lonigan in 1960 - his 2nd fiddle was Jack Nicholas. He thought the movie was out of print but I found him a copy on the internet and he was overjoyed - now he likes me - yikes. His name was Christopher Knight (yea, now it's Bobby Brady). He went to Harvard at 15 and when he graduated he tried his hand at acting. Universal signed him for 5 years and he kept turning down scipts. He finally did a movie with Sandra Dee and doesn't want to even remember it. He is very smart and thought the movie was just fluff. Universal let him get out of his contract after 4 years and he went back to school. He hangs onto some book that someone important gave him - he ALWAYS has it under his arm and sitting on the floor next to him when he works out---so odd.
We ordered a cheap copy of the movie to watch - we are all amazed he was an actor - now he wears cargo jeans, Harvard sweatshirts and a big bad toupe......these are the people who like me!
