CNN  — 

Take heart, all you lovers of One Direction: Fan dreams really do come true.

Heartthrob Jake T. Austin is dating one of his superfans, a girl who tweeted him for years. The 21-year-old former star of “The Fosters” and Disney’s “Wizards of Waverly Place” recently posted a picture of himself canoodling with 22-year-old Danielle Ceasar and the caption “I’m crazy for her.”

Capital FM screengrabbed some of Ceasar’s tweets from 2009 that show her declaring “I wanna meet @JakeTAustin so badly” and musing to the star, “…is it bad that I wanna kiss youu right now?”

Ceasar got her wish, and Austin told People, “We’re young and having fun just getting to know each other. It doesn’t matter how you meet someone – on set, in a coffee shop, at school or in the business. Sometimes you connect with people at the right moment and you just click.”

Hope now springs eternal for every fan who has ever dreamed of meeting and dating a superstar.

So Justin Bieber, if you’re reading this, give us a call if you’re free Friday night.
