<----- this is you at the gym.
Just be kind and talk to her, don't attach yourself, and maybe treat her to some Buddhism you know. After all you could save her from the Saha World, or maybe she can save you in the Spiritual Tradition she follows. True Love. What a guy...

what should i do, friends?
Well, it depends on what you mean by "craving" !
If you mean "lust", then like any other animal reproductive reactions you can satisfy this craving by introducing yourself, asking for a date, and after a time determine if her feelings are mutual. If she is a professional sex worker, then the approach will be simply a matter of financial transaction. Otherwise, keep your interactions courteous and respectful.
If you mean "Honorable Intentions to perhaps Marry and have children", I would suggest introducing yourself, dating, asking to meet her family, and asking for her hand in marriage from her parent (usually the father) or guardian, coming to a mutual agreement, and saving up for a very pricey engagement and wedding ring.
What Makes an Elder? :
A head of gray hairs doesn't mean one's an elder. Advanced in years, one's called an old fool.
But one in whom there is truth, restraint, rectitude, gentleness,self-control, he's called an elder, his impurities disgorged, enlightened.
