Damn.
Well, in that case, get on a plane to New York, go there and find his house. Then break in and rob his ass blind. If you're not up for a felony that night, then sneak into his bedroom and wake him up. Then ask him for his phone number. It's that simple. He may give it to you, he may call the police, hell, he may even bitch slap your ass, but at least he'll know how serious you were about wanting to get to know him.
During the 10-12 years you serve in prison for breaking and entering, he might come visit you.
