Hello, Iam new here. This is my first post. I also would be considered a cougar and I am absolutely obsessed with David Cook. My last celebrity crush was George Michael in the "80s". That changed when I found out he was gay(nothing against gay people-I fully support their rights). But it is hard to crush on someone who swings in a different direction.
This David Cook crush is more intense. Maybe because you can access so much info from the internet now than in the 1980s.
Hi there luvtocook. Welcome to the Cookie mania board. LOL. I just joined recently too. You're absolutely right.... this crush is INTENSE !! and all of us here are lovin' every minute of it.
I wonder how many fans he has. I've seen several posts from people in foreign countries lovin' him too. I wonder if he has reached a million fans yet? He could change the world as we are all putty in his hands right now. haha

Hey there...just thought I would introduce myself. I have been on here a while but just found this thread, and I guess I am technically a cougar. I'm 40. Wish I was still in my 30's, or 20's...maybe I am going through some kind of mid life crisis.
I grew to love DC gradually during the show - mostly for his amazing talent, but I also thought he was really sexy and charming.
But it wasn't until after the show ended and I started watching interviews and performances and collecting pictures and started reading this board that it got worse. Then I downloaded Analog Heart and it was all over for me.
I fell like a ton of bricks. No control, no choice. In other words, I bit it - HARD.
It was unexpected, really. I just don't HAVE mad crushes on celebrities anymore. I mean, yes, there are some that I really like, and that I think are hot (I was kind of hooked on Ewan McGregor for a while, and Jake Gyllenhaal) but not since I was about 13 did I obsessively collect every bit of information on someone. And I don't even know if I did it then. Okay, well to be fair, when I was a teen we didn't have the internet, and if we did I would have most likely been on it 24/7 searching my crushes, so I guess that's why.
But seriously, WTF?
Is there something missing from my life? I am happily married (well mostly) with 4 kids. I do crave excitement, maybe that's part of the whole thing. I sometimes find my life to be pretty tedious, even though I'm definitely able to find the joy in everyday things, and I have many hobbies (well right now only one, really). So yes, I sometimes wish I had a more glamorous life, and I sometimes regret not going for my dreams.
Sorry, where was I? Oh yeah, WTF. He has magical powers, that's the only reasonable explanation I can come up with.
I feel like I'm going insane. I am thinking about him almost 24/7. My laundry is piled up, my email inbox is full, I need to make phone calls and do paperwork and run errands, but yet here I sit ogling him like I'm 16.
I'm going on the tour - Atlantic City Aug. 2. (Thank God I have my daughters for an excuse!). I cannot WAIT and I am obsessively nervous, to the point where I don't even want to think about it cause it puts me on edge, worrying that I won't be able to meet him.. Which is just absurd.
I am very very jealous of KC, even though I want him to be happy of course.
I have lost about 15 pounds on the David diet, either because I get butterflies and lose my appetite, or because I can't tear myself away from the computer long enough to eat.
I am up way late every night (3 am now!).
This is ridiculous and yes, kinda embarrassing, so I am so very glad to have found you all. You really have no idea.
Welcome to the club. Your post cracked me up. I think all of us on this thread are wondering the same thing. What has happened to the "sensible me" ?? But its alright we have just put her on the shelf for now and am enjoying the most fun I have had in years. (sad i know, I need a life). LOL
