Should I [24F] not be embarrassed about pursuing an older guy [38M] on a dating app?

On CMB, I matched with a university professor who did his graduate studies at my alma mater. It wasn't difficult to find info about him online - he is absolutely everywhere on the web. He seems way too good to be true - Air Force grad, Ivy League PhD, very tall, athletic, and articulate. There are YouTube videos of him giving interviews. He asked to meet up and chat, but I said I was going out of town for a week (true). I asked to meet up the week after, and he said he was going out of town too, but that we could meet in 3 weeks. I double texted him one time and he didn't respond to my last message after he said he was out of town until late June.

​

I'm wondering if I should reach out to him in 3 weeks or if I should just not bother. I have never had to double text a guy, so I'm thinking he's not interested. It seems like an attractive guy like him has a lot of options. He's out of my league.

​

I'm asking my friends and they're saying he's way too old.
