You know the story: boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy wins back girl's attention by orchestrating the controversial release of top-secret government documents.
But good stories never get old (I can't tell you how many times I've watched Jurassic Park), so why not let some stranger with internet access tell it to you again.
In 2004, Julian Assange met a nineteen-year-old girl in Australia. That girl said Assange seemed kind of "quiet and nerdy. I didn't think he was sexy or anything. Just strangely alluring for a nineteen-year-old girl." They went out to a bar, left together for a goodnight kiss, and went back to their respective homes — but not before exchanging email addresses.
She soon received the email pictured above, in which the WikiLeaks founder asks if he can explore her mouth on Monday. When she didn't react warmly to his request, he called her house... but she'd never given him her phone number.
She became understandably creeped out by him. The following string of emails did not help Assange's case:
Well, I certainly don't feel clean anymore. But that tends to happen whenever I visit Gawker, who did all of the legwork and have more on the story, including additional emails.

Wow. That is gold.
What a creep hahaha
No wonder he gets laid so often. The dude's a poet... and some kind of a pro.
A bit too much for this lady, perhaps she could feel the net of inexorable persuasion closing around her, but not in a seductive way.
I assume she sold his emails to Gawker for money? How would she like it if he disclosed their emails as well? If he hasn't, then I think that proves which of these two has the real sense of class.
@DR - Hows Suffolk treating you Julian?
Those are some pretty seductive emails if one is interested, but I suppose not so much if one is not.
DJC and Jessica - I was pretty creeped out by them. Neither of you seemed to have realized he found her phone number of the internet, rang her when she didn't want to meet up with him and then kept on sending emails. That's just a little harassing.
Fair play to him for all the information about governments, but you can separate the good and bad deeds of a person.
@DR - Seriously? Her emails, she can do what she likes with them.
LOL, I have met Julian Assange several times socially and @DR is not him. He would consider sockpuppeting too demeaning :) Shy/serious girls give it up to him all the time because they are suckers for the "slightly creepy romantic vampire dude breathing in your ear about seizing the moment" game.
You are lucky to have met him. I wish he would spell his power over me.
Magnificent.
Also, @EnemyOfState, this kinda bums me out for two reasons. First of all, that schtick would totally work on me (but I wouldn't be all in denial about it). Second, it makes me think I would be ears-deep in women, if only I were sexually interested in them. Because that's the sort of thing I would do, and I'd be so good at it. (The ear-breathing moment-seizing thing, not the creepily-stalking -- wait, I'm not sure I could 100% disavow that.)
Maybe a bit creepy, but wonderful.
But who am I to say anything, I'm usually attracted to those "slightly creepy romantic vampire dudes breathing in your ear about seizing the moment".
And Julian is kinda hot :D
Anybody can typ a message signing it Julian. Why has she saved them for 6 years if she was sooooooooooo creeped out.
Please, just another one who wants to have her 15 minutes of fame.
It`s because letters as such becomes a priceless collection to those who can see the soul of a man.
