If he had a good heart, and had the qualities that I was looking for, sure, why not?
bolded can be the problem, not necessarily the celebrity status. If he is in his 50s, forget about having kids, he is done with having kids. You cannot convince a 50 year old man to have kids. Not happening.
To me at least, I cannot picture having sex with a 50 year old.
I don't know his story but you're right, he's probably not into that. She is, she has bad baby rabies and at 42 is starting to reach that iffy part. I know she froze eggs but he may not be interested. Honestly, I wonder if he's even into marriage. I mean he could be (after all, George Clooney did)but him being older and successful says to me to watch out.
I found out a friend is dating a well known writer (I won't get more specific since his writing is a particular niche and would probably out who he is). I'm happy for her because she has struggled with dating and it's about time she finds one. The problem is I'm not sure he's the one for her. Both are never married, childless and Catholic but the similarities end there. She's very conservative, and he's not. She wants a baby and is desperate to get married but I'm not so sure he is since he has dated quite a bit and probably in his 50's or so. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled for her because if it lasts she hit the jackpot. However if it doesn't she will be devastated. I've known a few of his other girlfriends and most ended because at the time he wasn't ready to settle (or at least for them)but she is a different breed (she's a teacher, most of them worked in entertainment). Ever have an issue like this? Obviously the celebrity dating isn't common but the dealing with men like this might be.
Yeah, Ive had friends date people who I didn't think would work (celebrity, or not). I did what I should have. Let them have their relationship.
I'm not going to discourage her, because it may work out. I just wonder though if it will. I hope she shows me and it works for her. I haven't said much to her about it except not to get her hopes up early on.

That's the advice I give to everyone, to go in slowly. I myself have gotten stung by going too fast.
I think my issue isn't that he's famous, but rather that I wonder if she is getting too fast too soon. So far she seems levelheaded so maybe for her it's only a fling. She seems into him but without her getting into it too much I don't know.

so what? a "celebrity" generally only means that person might make alot more money than you, they are still flawed humans like joe blow down the block
would i date one? sure, why not... but generally they arent accessible to me. i dont roll in the hollywood or entertainment biz circle... id like a shot @ sanaa lathan though

smh... and people here on c-d wonders why they will often see comments where men, especially men with means dont want to marry women as many are diggers looking to hit the 'jackpot' as you say.
props to that man for staying unhitched @ 50+ yrs old or whatever and keeping his paper and livelyhood intact, hopefully he continues to prosper and avoid getting sucked into the abyss of divorce, spousal and child support

In the event that this is even a real scenario and not another made up one like the Taco Man saga, you're a little too invested in your friend's life and seem to know an awful lot about his life, having " just found out"...
I must know what this is. I tried searching for it to no avail.

It's a saga... The OP is engaged to an alcholic who lives with his mom because she's so infuriatingly picky and impractical about her other criteria for eligible men that this is all she's left with.
It's been going on for years.
