Ever been in love with a fictional character? It happens to me alot.?

Question

I never really get obsessed or anything, and Im totally normal and know that they arent real. But, I have kind of a large list of fictional characters that I've been in love with. My friends think its weird. I've always thought it was normal. Just in case you were interested........
Jack Dawson from Titanic. This was the closest I have ever come to being obsessed with a fictional character.
Ryan Atwood from the O.C.
Seth Cohen from the O.C.
Michael Scofeild from Prison Break
L.J. from Prison Break
Harry Potter from...well, thats obvious
Even Robin Hood the fox from the freakin Disney version! That was my first crush! :)
And the list goes on.........Am I abnormal?? I dont want to be thought of as some freak who cant seperate reality from fiction, but I feel that I keep it into perspective pretty well. I mean, Im in love with a real, live breathing person, so that must count for something right? (he's not my b/f though) I've never had a b/f. Could this be why I have a long list?

Answer 1

This is a great question, one I've secretly wondered myself. One of the first crushes I ever remember having was on Speed Racer, the cartoon. When I was about 4 or 5 years old I would walk up to the TV screen and kiss Speed. I just thought he was so cute! I've had major crushes on both fictional characters and unattainable celebrities. As a kid I had a major crush on Michael Jackson, of all people (icky). Even as an adult, I had a huge crush on Brad Pitt. I was pretty obsessed for a while. Isn't Jack Dawson like the most perfect romantic, sexy-sweet character ever?
I think its OK to have these secret crushes. They are a fun guilty pleasure as long as you keep it in perspective. When the time and person is right, you will have a real life boyfriend. Just keep a smile on your face and your eyes and heart open. Best wishes!

Answer 2

No you're not abnormal because fictional characters are made to be enticing so that the reader of the novel or viewer of the movie, stays interested in the story and for the character to leave a lasting impression on whoever is exposed to him or her. The writer or author mainly plays on fantasy to have their work and characters stand out among other stories. My fantasy man is from Naruto. His name is Kakashi! He is so mysterious, funny and powerful but don't tell anybody or did I just tell everyone? lol! :-) Also, Goku and Vegeeta from Dragon Ball Z are hot. I like Vegeeta because his bad boy attitude makes him really sexy to me.

Answer 3

I think that is ok as long as you don't dream too much and deny your heart to real guys (if you keep on doing that you'll be alone in the long term)

I also like fictional characters!! like Yuna or Rikku from Final Fantasy X-2

But they are just that a fantasy, maybe not the final one, but still a fantasy

Answer 4

Simple answer. You're not really in love with those characters. You idealize the fictional characters because of what they represent. As long as you can distinguish reality from fiction, there is nothing wrong with liking them. Just reserve the word "love" for something bigger.

Answer 5

Robert Redford as GATSBY, Robert DeNiro as FRANK in "Falling in Love," Richard Gere as IKE in "Runaway Bride,"
Dennis Farina as FONTANA on "Law and Order," oh, a whole bunch of them--Gregory Peck in "Roman Holiday," Humphrey Bogart in the original "Sabrina"...(the list goes on).

I never "fell in love" with any of these characters, but I did want to watch the movies repeatedly for a while. Well, I enjoyed the stories--the guys were icing on the cake.

Answer 6

well, I'm in love with Ronald Weasley. Ha ha..sometimes i feel like i really wanna be one of The Weasley Family. Fox from 10th Kingdom, Warrick brown from CSI: Las Vegas, and Dumbeldore(but i love him to be my grandpa). Honey, you're not alone.

Answer 7

You sound perfectly normal to me.
Even those of us in a good relationship enjoy the escape a little fantasy or crush provides. We are still waiting for our prince to come riding up on his horse.

Answer 8

That happens to me all the time- disney characters included! I guess tv guys are better than the ones in real life, huh?

Answer 9

A few times
Its healthier to fall for a fictional character than to fall for an actor you don't even know

Answer 10

do no longer pay attention to those people who say this is strange and that there is something incorrect with you. there's no longer. that's a organic subject to ensue--that's in comparison to you fairly think of they're actual and which you will have a relationship with them. i be attentive to easily what you advise. the 1st one for me, i think of, grew to become into while i grew to become into in ninth grade and examine East of Eden by skill of John Steinbeck. on the time I hadn't seen the action picture with James Dean, so that's in comparison to I had the photograph of him in my innovations while examining. yet I endure in innovations writing approximately it in my magazine once I examine it, and that i mentioned that even nevertheless Cal (yeah, the "undesirable" one in the e book) wasn't actual, and that i did no longer be attentive to what he might look like if he have been, i in my view had a topic for him. greater those days there is Ron Weasley (i won't be able to stand Malfoy, nevertheless I do have mixed emotions approximately how evil he rather is) and of direction Darcy in delight & Prejudice. quite some those British books's male characters via fact they're so "gentlemanly" and romantic. Oh, yeah, and Chris in the flowers in the Attic sequence. i be attentive to there are others, yet those are what includes innovations good now. Yeah, you ought to stay in the actual international, yet there's no longer something incorrect with having only somewhat a crush on lots of the characters in books. extraordinarily while it is so troublesome to discover adult adult males in actual existence who learn. BTW, I understand you falling for the baddies, yet you ought to take a closer look on the sturdy ones. :-)
