Hello everyone,
This is one heck of a story, that “one in a million or maybe less” kind…
I got a celebrity crush. Countries away, unavailable, inaccessible. I had no hopes. He was on social media, I was constantly observing him, but never dared to make a move because “Hey, he’ll never pay attention to me!”. One day though I made a light and sweet remark to one of his posts on Twitter and he replied. Ooohh, what a success!
In a month or two… he suddenly finds me on Facebook, recognises me and ads me! I was SHOCKED! Never imagined a man like him (well known, extremely handsome, with loads of hot women around him) would do that! We started talking… umm, actually flirting a lot! I could never flirt like I did with him, he simply inspired me to such level! I absolutely love what he makes me become… so free, fun, inspired, witty… Our conversations went back and forth, often late into weekend nights… He showered me with compliments and never let me wait too long for his replies. On the contrary, I was the one keeping it cool and ending conversations because it was too late in my time zone.
At that point I knew he was trying out social media and his fans and looking to flirt online with attractive women. He’s been having his favourites and I’ve been one of them. We got to meet at some point, at a very busy event. He was incredibly sweet and shocked me again with his warmth! (I was trying to find a way to introduce myself, lol, but he spotted me in a split second from miles away!)The next day, he messaged me hoping to meet me separately… but I had already left the city :( I told him that I would leave early but I guess he missed that detail in our hurried conversation.
I thought he only wanted a short fling. However, the flirt only intensified as I left his country. As we were joking a lot, at some point I had to tell: “I don’t really know when you’re serious and when you’re joking”… that because he kept on asking me to come back visit him… He knows I have tight connexions with his country. His reply was very serious and honest: “I really like you, want to know more of you, would be fantastic to meet one day and hangout more, I am very attracted to you” etc. I didn’t expect such confession from a fun, flirty, lighthearted man like him!
Also, when he happened to cross the line with his weird humour, I let him know and he immediately responded very well — always passing my tests.
Well, here comes the complicated part. He has some big family and career issues currently. He’s very troubled with a certain project. Back in those days, he was planning it enthusiastically. But then… it all failed, because of exterior circumstances. I know for sure this is something that hurts him terribly… his heart, his ego, everything… He’s taking it very personally. He stopped talking to me and I was fine with it. I knew he was going to get extremely busy. He had a huge plan laid out for the whole year.
He continued liking my photos. I sent him a message to ask him about the project. He didn’t reply.
I waited some more, about 3 months in total… I observed his behaviour online. Sometimes he wouldn’t be online at all. Never engaged in long conversations with others. He even stopped liking people’s posts, except for very few ones, usually tagged, or of close friends. Didn’t seem so interested anymore in other hot girls.For my birthday, he sent me a super sweet, still romantic message (I never hoped for!)
Recently, he cared about my post in a group and he actually broke protocol by liking it! It was a picture of me and then other members of the group reacted in amazement (“Heeeey, he liked your photo, oh my goodness!!!!”). So yeah, that was very unusual of him.I wrote him another private message… finally, in reply to his past demands… that I’m going back to his country soon. After all, he wanted so much to see me.
No reply… although he’s been online…
I don’t know what to make of it. It’s like we have nothing, yet we have so much!
I never dreamed of even saying hi to this man and I got to be so privileged, showered with compliments, getting so much of his attention, enjoying such hot flirts… Why wouldn’t he at least have the politeness to reply now? It makes me feel awful.In all honesty, I did not fall in love with him for his fame or looks. I see plenty of hot men and they don’t stir up my feelings. I’ve also been around celebrities enough and they’re not such a temptation to me. I like him because I know, I really do, that he has a golden heart… he is incredibly loving and loyal to his family and close friends… Truly, a heart of gold. At times I think I don’t deserve him.
I just don’t know what to do from now on. No more messages from my side, it’s decided. I will book my trip though, I can’t sit around and wait for him.
Any thoughts? Advice?
redcurleysueIt may be that he is totally engrossed in his project and may not feel too good.
That can cause a man to go into his cave. There is nothing you can do but stay light and happy in your own life. I would wait a month or two and send a short light message talking about cheery things…see if he responds. If not then you know the communication is over from his end.
I am sorry this happened to you but he is a celebrity after all. So, they live a little different and on the edge. But, at least you have good memories.
RaeAs he is a celebrity he will obviously be very busy and also it can carry stress I would imagine! I would definitely leave him be for a while and maybe contact him in a month or so and see how everything is going. How busy is he, what type of celebrity is he, what does he do? Sounds like a silly question but just trying to get an insight, obviously you don’t have to say! Hope it all works out for you :)
AntoniaThat is what I thought too, Redcurleysue.
In addition, I think that, back then, he had some free time, was enthusiastic about everything and was willing to know me and build a foundation. Now he knows I am interested in him.He’s been posting some very sad and emotional stuff on his page… Can’t give a lot of details because I want his identity to remain secret, of course. Anyway, he’s pretty much our of the limelight now. The things that had him in the spotlight are over and done with. No more red carpets for him. He lives in a very isolated place, trying to do something new on his own now… and failing at it, it seems.
In a way I’m very lucky because he’s no A-lister or such.
I’m afraid to write him for a third time though… no matter after how long of a time… because I feel I already made myself look needy.
AntoniaRae, he is in the film industry but not an actor.
I am a rather proud woman, I already feel so hurt after two private messages he ignored… even though he somehow showed he cared, by liking my photos.
RaeWell he’s liking your photos so he isn’t trying to go unnoticed but then he’s ignored your messages so I’m not too sure what’s going through his mind, maybe he isn’t even sure! Maybe just leave him altogether and see what happens
NewbieFlirting is nice and when it is a two way street its extra nice. So i guess it made you both feel good.
But in the end, it was mostly a penpal thing and although they can be intens, they don’t tend to develop into a real relationship. So you have to think this through, he lives in another country, right now isnt feeling good at all so probably not thinking about you at all. I would chalk it up to a nice adverture and stop wondering if there is a future for you too.
He doesn’t respond right now, so i would make sure ill be active socially. I’m not a fb poster, but you are, so post some stuff of that now and then. He will get back on his feet and maybe he will reach out.jenni smithit sounds to me like you are living in a fantasy! you only met him in person for what — 2 minutes? Please don’t write to him again. you never know, it may have been his publicist or someone else writing from him account.
MariaAre you being serious? how old are you?
And whatever the case, do not write to him again, he is a man, celebrity or not, if he is interested, he’d act on it.
Vanessa“I wrote him another private message… finally, in reply to his past demands… that I’m going back to his country soon. After all, he wanted so much to see me. ”
If he wanted so much to see you, then HE would’ve come to YOUR country. Not demand that you visit him, like he could do with several women. Felt good for a moment, now Let this go.
HannahIs this real? I honestly don’t know anymore!
AntoniaMy thanks to those who did their best to understand the situation and give me some realistic advice.
Wow, no thanks to the few haters who bothered to comment! did you even read my post?
UPDATE: He actually replied! and it was a damn sweet message and yes, we are meeting halfway, soon. For a woman as proud as me, this is a very good situation.
You judge without asking for the relevant details. I’m a freelancer and can travel how often I want. He’s the super busy one here and we are both mature enough to understand this. We did discuss the possibilities.
His publicist? LOL, everyone knows that’s his real account, there’s more than enough proof.
He is highly selective, I could observe that by myself for like 1 year. He carefully chooses whom to write to. It doesn’t bother me if he keeps his options open, I do the same.
Vanessa, you sound like my too young ex, who proposed to me before he knew anything about me. That was creepy. He’s always said that a man who’s into a woman will go to the end of the world for her. A young and passionate one, maybe, but mature men with loads of life experience will not jump so quickly. People need to know each other first. I’d be scared if he wanted to come to my country so soon! I visit there because I have friends and work and stuff.
You people should be more RESPONSIBLE when posting here. Make sure you read and understand the post. If you find some really unstable suffering people, you could destroy them with your harsh words and judgement! and especially with the superficial dating advice you learnt from the web.
AntoniaAnother thing: I’ve actually taken my time to read advice from Eric, Sabrina and other brilliant coaches on the web.
Things like “he’ll do everything he can” (so early on? really? how old are YOU?) is a MYTH.
I have enough romantic experience. I had extremely passionate men do for me things you only see in movies, like take a plane from countries away on a very short notice just to apologise for something they did. I had many LDRs and they all did impressive stuff. Guess what… they were only doing it because they were too young, inexperienced and passionate… or because of their EGO. To prove that they CAN. They were all terrible matches to me, but we allowed passion to blind us. No, I won’t have that thing anymore. I’d rather invest in a man who’s taking things slowly. Also, my exes would do so much for me, but their life and career were a complete mess. This man is making that a priority and I perfectly understand it. Because that’s how it is when you start growing up.
VanessaNo, we’ve learned from life experience. I’ll be sure to not comment next time a post with your name comes up. The other girls could also do the same in using their free time to comment on those that will appreciate it. We go by what we read, we’ve never met you. Good luck.
HannahAntonia I genuinely didn’t know if this was real. We do get some strange posts on here sometimes!
You have met this guy once at an event and have never spent any alone time with him. He totally ignored you for 3 months. I agree that more mature men doesn’t jump into things, but he let the contact drop to just liking things on social media. That’s pulling away and showing little interest, not taking it slowly.
It’s great he wants to meet you again, but do be careful. You say you are in love with this man but you hardly know him. You could end up getting very hurt if you feel that strongly about him having only met him once.
Hannah*don’t not doesn’t!
TaraI’m sorry but I agree with Hannah, you’ve met this man once at an event but never made any plans to spend time together besides that? He ignored a few of your private messages but eventually replied, how do you know if you didn’t reach out again that you would hear anything.
Celebrity or not, he made NO effort at all! You feel you love him because you probably feel you know him more than you actually do due to his status.
MaeA forum is open dialogue. Prepare for any and all responses from any angle possible short of attacking you or jumping down your throat which no one has done in this thread. Besides, the subject line of your post begs the question: Is this real? A fair question indeed.
AntoniaI hoped my messages would be read thoroughly by those who took time to reply. The first posters were actually considerate and realistic.
Hannah,
we did talk enough at the event and he tried to meet me the next day when he was free, but my travel arrangements made that impossible. Also, he wanted to see me like several weeks later, but I could not be around. One of my close friends died back then. He tried to make plans with me and all I could say back then was “No, no, no, sorry”.Yes, my story is true. When I posted it, I was desperate because I felt hurt, with all abandonment issues in my life coming back to haunt me. I KNEW he could be very busy and even depressed. Heck, I know what depression is. Even the most pleasant things become dull or a burden.
Now, when did I say he did nothing for 3 months?!
On the contrary, he sent signals on social media, signals he sends only to very few people.He only ignored/forgot ONE message.
So how did you guys come up with those details?When he replied to my latest message, I had to dig deep to find it, because my inbox was full. It’s full every day and I’m far from being famous. This should also cast some light on the events.
Honestly, I couldn’t care less if anyone believes my story or not. This is not a forum for show off, but for help.
Oh Vanessa, life experience isn’t enough. That can be quite bitter. What if one has had only failures? Then they will tell everyone that nothing is ever going to work out. I love Eric’s advice on this site because he is like a true psychologist, he goes at the core of everything and isn’t sugarcoating anything. Any advice giver should strive to be like that. It takes a brilliant and open mind, great attention to details and so much more. It’s annoying to ask for some insight but get those typical lines we fed when we were teenagers…
MYour post just comes off as very desperate and antsy. You’re so enamored by the fact that this is a celebrity that you don’t want to take anything else into consideration. Would you care this much if he were just your average Joe?
If he is a celebrity, with money as you say then he would have no problem flying you out to him or at least flying out to you. He would of booked you and locked you down after all this time.
It has been what? 3-5 months? He probably is and has entertained other fans on his page…although I can’t imagine he is that big of a celebrity (maybe rich) if he is not actually on screen. Eitherway, if he is actually who you say and believe he is, he is IN THE POSITION TO SEE YOU.
Don’t make yourself so readily available and ready to forgive his temperamental behavior.
MMy advice…wait it out, let him come to you. No sense in worrying about what will be. If it is meant to be and if he is seriously interested in something with you, he will make it happen. Like I said, he is in the PERFECT position to pursue you, wine and dine you, fly to you, fly you to him…if he wants you he can make it happen.
Sit it out. Be cool. Continue with your fabulous life, forget about who has wronged or hurt you in the past. Don’t let past abandonment prevent you from believing things can work out in the future, but don’t let it make you cling to someone that is leaving you feeling antsy or unsure. You should only feel certainty that a man wants you.
AntoniaHi M, thanks for your input.
In fact I wrote about his career issues and recent failures. I can’t give many details (like what exactly got him famous|) because that could give away his identity… He isn’t rich at all. This is what he’s struggling with right now: money.
I wish he were that kind of glamorous, rich celebrity, that would be pretty cool I guess (although a billion times more difficult), but he isn’t.
As for the celebrity romance conclusion… yes, I expected people to see it that way. I guess none of my explanations would matter as to what has happened there. People are always using stereotypes. I see how others keep on ignoring the details and all they see is “CELEBRITY”.
AntoniaI do not wish any more comments on this topic.
Thank you Redcurleysue, Rae and Newbie for your insights!
Mae“I see how others keep on ignoring the details and all they see is “CELEBRITY”. You framed it as such. In any event, continue with your life, date others, and see what happens. Good luck to you!
NewbieI really don’t understand people who post and then get offended by people’s responses they don’t like. I would take the advantage to think about what they are saying in stead of calling them haters. Yeah i misunderstand posters too sometimes or i think that responses are focussing too much on the psychology instead of the question, but if you take it in, you can take that into account.
Meanwhile i’m happy he responded if that is all you wanted, but that’s not much of a victory in my book. What do you want from this man, have you thought about that? -
