I'm taking a risk. Should I?

[james wolf]

So, very complicated. I love acting and stuff like that. One day I see this guy about my age on TV (Turns out he's 2 years older than me). I then look him up and now I follow him on twitter. I really want to talk to him as he is an actor around my age, and he lives relatively close to me, quite a coincidence, and he seems like a nice guy. I want to ask him some things about acting. I try to do this over twitter, but he seems to ignore me most of the time, only answering a few questions. So, a crazy thought came into my head.

Can I add him on Facebook? Is that weird/creepy/stalkerish? All I want to do is get some help on acting in Surrey (the county where we both live). What do you think?

[Destructive Impulse]

Don't do it. That would be extreamly creepy and he would probably block you from twitter. Talk to him through it.

[Harley Quinn]

I don't think it's creepy you genuinly want to know about acting. I would add him, seeing as he ignores you on twitter. However, don't nag him. That's creepy.

[Electra Heart]

If you genuinely want to talk to him because of his acting expertise I don't find it creepy at all. Just try not to come off as desperate, say to much, just talk like you would a respected adult. Try not to get to personal as well, ask genuine questions you feel absolutely necessary to be answered.

[james wolf]

I'm going to risk it, for that chocolate biscuit (metaphorical, of course.) If I don't his view of me won't change.

[spiderdude]

It might not be the real Jim so there for I wouldnt

[Ryhanna]

There's nothing wrong with having a question. I know from experience that with acting it helps a lot to talk to people with experience.

Go ahead. :) The worst outcome is he ignores you.

[therunaway]

Would sound creepy and stalkerish, bad thing in my opinion to do.

[james wolf]

I think I shall do it, as I don't see any other oppourtunity like this. But as his FB acount is private I can't send him a message to say why I'm adding him. Is there anyway to do this.

[Stronger]

Not creepy in the sense of wanting to know about acting, but give him some space if you are constantly bothering him, he maybe not like that too well, which is why he is probably ignoring you.

[james wolf]

Ok, so how long should I wait: I sent him the friend request on Tuesday, an apology and explanation on Wednesday on twitter and I know he's been on twitter since but when should I send him something else? And don't say leave it. This is not the end. I know.

Well, if you've sent him a request and explanation and he's ignoring you, what else can you do? I know said not to say this, but leave it. Pestering him about it will only creep him out and annoy him.

Hey, what have I got to lose? ;)

Haha, well I guess you have a point.

[Sleepwalking]

If its truly professional, then he shouldn't take it wrong, but if you keep pestering him he might ignore you.
Who is the actor anyway, if I may ask?

[FullyAlive]

Erm you say you saw him on TV, Is he a well known actor?
If so chances are he won't want you adding him on Facebook, and if you keep trying you'll just make yourself out to be a really weird fan.

If he's a smaller more local actor you might stand more chance of getting him to accept you but no offence I think its unlikely. People tend to want friends on Facebook as oppose to random people wanting advice. I'd see if perhaps he has an email otherwise I'd leave it.

[DarthMayim]

Go for it :)
Though to make sure I personally would ask him if it would be ok to add him :P

I'm pretty sure if I told you his name you wouldn't know him :P he's had a few roles in movies and a couple of tv shows, but again, I don't think many people would know him. Thanks for the advice!

[Skyhawk]

Chances are he'll be creeped out if some random fan went and added his [personal] facebook.

[jessiecox1]

You sent the request, so leave it at that. I wouldn't follow up or anything else...you don't want him to get creeped out. Spare time for him is probably at a premium anyway if he's acting and possibly still in school (?), so that could be why he isn't responding on twitter.

[james wolf]

How to ask him nicely for help on acting... would this work "Hey, can you give me some help about acting?"

[xChrisVx]

Could do. But if you pester him chances are he will keep ignoring you. Give him time.

Yeah, that is what I am doing :) I think I did everything a bit too quickly at first though :(

[clay morrow]

Like who?

[Mikedamaniak]

I dunno what to say about your question, but in general my motto is what's life without some risk.

[collapsing_rain]

Well I think u shld wait for maybe 2weeks and then ask him again, and maybe be more sincere and specific
If he still ignores then just find others like him

[botwa]

[james wolf]

Not sure if bumping :S

Basically he didn't accept but he talks to me sometimes if I ask him a question on twitter :)

[MikeyCool]

Who is it? I l'm in surrey too.

[james wolf]

Oh god, has he turned bitter on me?? :( :S

[confused65]

dont do it

[james wolf]

I'm not really sure how to ask him anything though... :/

[PinkFloyd]

Yeah rely on twitter. you would get a negative response from this guy. its a stalker move. What you can do is ask his permission on twitter about it i guess. sorry if that didnt make much sence....

The thing is I don't want to ask him on twitter because people might think I'm weird (other people who read the tweets)
