I won't use his name or anything, but he's a Native American actor, model, speaker, and entertainer. He's absolutely gorgeous and I think I have feelings for him. Granted me and him have never met and talked, but I follow him on Facebook and I want to date him.

Just a few days ago, he actually moved into my hometown and I want to try and pursue him. The only bummer is that he has 19,000 followers on Facebook and I need to stand out from them somehow. Not to mention that he's constantly traveling around the country, and even outside the country. There's also this other guy who I go to school with. He's just a regular guy and I also have something of a crush on him and he likes me as well. Do I sound crazy for wanting to pursue a relationship with this celeb, or do you think this is a good idea? Or should I just stick with regular, more attainable people like the guy at school?

You are young, and your experiences are normal. The celeb is a fantasy. The guy at school a more realistic prize to obtain. But please be advised that neither may be in the cards for you. There may be someone else some years away that holds the keys to your heart.

There is nothing wrong with fantasies. They help us pass the time until reality comes out of the shadows. I suggest you have fun, dream on, and simply let life happen. Life always does happen.

If you happen to have mutual friends with the celebrity or he eats at your neighborhood diner or he joins the club where you are a trainer and you actually meet him in person, and you are of similar age, similar backgrounds, similar finances, have many things in common, etc. then you could consider getting to know him better. But, frankly, what are the odds of any of those things happening? Probably pretty slim.

Also, most celebrities have groupies and it would be a million to one shot that you would stand out from the crowd (or at least a 19,000 to one shot) unless you have an "in" such as he is good friends with your brother or he attends your tiny church or you are in the same small club or small volunteer organization. It is fun to dream but it probably isn't realistic.

I suggest that you date your friend at school. And, if that does not work out date other people who are similar to you.

It's not crazy, but it's not realistic.

You don't know him. It's a crush. Try to get to know him, sure, to see what he's like. But you can't say you want to date him if you've never even spoken to him.

Celebrities are safe crushes since they will never come to fruition.

And how do you think you could do that?
Find out where he is going to be and fall down in front of him or something?
Don't really try that. You may only be part of a heap of other girls trying the same thing.
A pile of young females is not really a pretty picture....more embarrassing than anything.

Stalking in any way is also not advised.

How can he "like you as well" if you've never met him? Liking a post on social media is not indicative of a real interaction. That you're talking about guys at school means you're young. This is just a crush. There's very little likelihood that this handsome model and actor is looking for a relationship with a teenager (he might want something, but it's not going to be holding hands.)

I'm referring to two different guys, one at school and the celeb. Sorry if it was worded poorly.

I dated a very well known professional baseball player... the fantasy I'd built up in my head was wayyyy better than the reality that I experienced while dating him..... just sayin.
