    Would you date someone famous?

    This is just something that's been lingering in my thoughts.

    I have a good guy friend who's really traditional and just a really private person.  He met this great girl who happens to be a tv personality.  He's been trying to figure out whether to move forward with this relationship, and the fact that she's famous really throws him off.  The lights and the glitz bother him, and he's not sure he can handle all the attention she gets.  Paparazzi is another thing that he really doesn't know if he can deal with. 

    Would fame be a deal breaker for you?

    How famous are we talking here... local tv?  International signing and dancing sensation?

    It kinda depends on her relationship with fame.  If she had to be in the spotlight at all times, there's no way I could make that work.  I find attention seeking to be a turnoff.  (That's just my personal take - I don't mean to project that onto your friend or anyone else!)

    Overall, I could deal with any level of fame, as long as my SO and I had a private world where we could interact with each other and with friends without fame being an issue.  Then dealing with fame would just be a sometimes thing, and not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things.

    Well ... in the off-chance a famous person were interested in me, and if I got the chance to get to know him better and decide properly if I might have a connection with him, of course I wouldn't pass up that chance. Fame is one of those things ... means nothing unless you make it mean something. Shouldn't give up a chance at love because of something which can't be helped.

    I agree with John.... but I would be lying if I said I wouldn't date someone famous, I'd love it!

    Send your friend my best wishes!

    Understandably, if she's famous to the point that he would have to deal with paparazzi, then it's also comprehendable that it can get a little pressured being suddenly thrown into the spotlight.  And as a guy, despite all the hype like "woah you're dating who?!  Dude, that's super!", the whole business of being labeled by the paparazzi simply as "so-and-so's boyfriend" must surely be a bit ego-bruising.  There's also the risk of a minor argument being blown out of proportion and having to deal with rumours because of the attention to the relationship by people who do not know them personally.

    While I agree that whether someone is famous or not shouldn't stand in the way of love, I also have to say that the notion is a little dreamy and love needs some good two feet planted on the ground even if your head is in the clouds, high from love.  So personally, I would date someone who is famous but only if I was sure that I can handle what's to come and have his full support in keeping the whole relationship as low-profile as possible.
