whats the difference?

[sgp]

i have a couple of scenarios, both hypothetical, but i just want to see what peoples reactions are.

1) you have a crush on a girl/guy. you have never spoken to this person, but have seen them around. you can tell by what you overhear of their conversations that they are pretty intelligent. you have dreams about this person and seem to really like them.

2) same thing as above, except that the person you have a crush on is some type of celebrity, whether actor/actress, athlete, whatever. instead of overhearing conversations you watch interviews and see how they deal with their fans to get an idea of their character. you also have dreams of this person.

so my question is, besides the fact that it would be harder to meet the celeb, what really is the difference? both examples are basically going on looks, and just what you feel as to their personality. im not saying it is exactly the same thing, but hey, i dont really know where im going with this. ill just stop now.

Public celebrites have a monetary interest in being nice to their fans. Real people don't.

I don't see much difference. The object of the crush is very unlikely to be what you think he or she is, and would probably not find the crush as flattering as you might think.

If you’re asking whether you can have the same feelings for the person you crushing on regardless of whether they’re from scenario 1 or 2, then I think the answer is yes. However, the main difference is that if you have a crush on someone in real life then you have the opportunity to interact with them and get direct feedback from them to find out how they feel about you.

If it is a crush from a far that you speak of, then yes the feelings may be essentially the same in both instances because you go on looks and what you know of their personality from observations and not direct contact in both cases. However, when you have a crush on someone in real life, say at your school for instance, then even if you’ve never spoken to them directly they may know who you are and you have a chance to over hear what they think about you.

Not sure exactly what response you are hoping for, but if you give a few more details maybe I could expand my answer. I have been in a situation before when I was crushing on a guy in high school who was essentially unaware of my existence and I never really talked to him. But I knew he thought I was lame because of the way he acted around me. You know patronising and name-calling, and all that. Dead give away really. /
