Answer 1

I would date a person, regardless of whether they were a celeb or not as long as they understand me. And if I'm totally in love with them. Being with a celeb for me, has more cons than pros:

1) I'll have to put up with their fame. And fame comes with a price- no privacy. I wouldn't like cameras to be following my other (famous) half everywhere

2) How would I know if he (the celeb) is really as nice as he is? What if he was faking it just for the cameras?

3) He might break up because he might think I'm with him for the money or for the fame (the media will twist and turn anything they can)

4) The media and people will say things that might make us misunderstand something and eventually, lead to a bitter ending for both of us

5) People will scrutinize the relationship and may say things like, "She's not a celeb (of equal status). How can he like her?" and stuff like that. It's really not nice

I think it is better to be with someone who has an ordinary life. No cameras. Having privacy :)

Answer 2

He would have to be pretty special! x I wouldn't want to be followed around by paps or anything, so unless I saw potential of progression for the relationship..then no. We could still be friends, I guess. You can never have enough friends!
I read your other question, you sound decent and have a great amount of common sense. Your neither fame or money hungry.
Just keep things private and personal, if you both care for each other then don't let anybody stop you.
Take Care!
Best Wishes..

Answer 3

I am a celeb. Actually I probably would, I'm up for trying everything once- why not? the relationship probbaly wouldn't last to long, but if you don't bother to get involved with their hollywood life, you don't really have much of a problem. Problem comes when Brittany Spears marries Kevin Fedderline, and ruins both of their carrers. Thats when you don't date a celeb.

Answer 4

I would date someone if they were a 'celeb'. I wouldn't date someone because they were a celeb.

If there was a genuine connection and I felt a mutual connection or attraction then I would date them, but try as hard as I could to keep or life out of the public eye (although that can be difficult!), and take the good with the bad, as long as there was more good!

Answer 5

Depends on how much I liked them. I'd have to like them an awful lot to put up with it all.

I went to college with the girlfriend of the singer in a famous Welsh rock band. She never saw him (he was always away touring) and she had to put up with groupies and other girls chucking themselves at him all the time, rumours in the press about who he had been "seen" with and the fact that everyone wanted to talk to him and not her (she had death threats and nasty emails/messages from his obsessed teenie girl fans).

She loved him very much but I often felt sorry for her with all this.

Of course there were "perks" too - getting to go to showbiz parties, getting flown all round the world and the fact that he had lots of money!!

I don't beleive they are still together but his connections helped her set up her own career in the entertainment business so that was a plus too.

Answer 6

it would depend on the person I suppose. I mean, in every relationship you have to take the good with the bad.

Why should a relationship with a celebrity be any different. You'll never be thrilled with every aspect of someones life and there are somethings you would rather not have to deal with in a relationship; be it with a celebrity or otherwise. But, you get on with it because you care.

Answer 7

Yes but not because they were famous. Most likely, I wouldn't know the person was a celeb until we'd started dating. After I picked myself up off the floor that this person had picked me to date, I'd accept that the photogs and autograph seekers were part of it.

Answer 8

It really depends on the person. Some celebs are down to earth, some are extremely self involved and probably won't even notice if you're with them.

Answer 9

Well, yes and no. sometimes celebrities are a little full of themselves. i dont know if i could handle them blabbing on and on about their career and good looks. I wouldnt date them for their money or fame. but of course, if they were a good person - why not?

Answer 10

If I really loved them then yes, if I didn't think they were worth giving up my private life for then no. Maybe we'd be friends instead if I didn't want to gain all the popularity from their career. It all comes down to how much you love them.
