She’d ask me what I’d hope to gain from asking a 78 year old woman to don a leather catsuit and practice aikido throws with me. ---

I think the business manager would love that person, but that’s about it. Then again, maybe that’s how those things get arranged. wat? ---

I can imagine having a **Notting Hill** type relationship with a few different smart, beautiful famous women I crush on. ---

> [@YogSothoth](#): > > wat? Explained slowly: He says it wouldn’t work because he’d over react and she’d end it. I said that she’d probably like someone who isn’t a bump on a log or who just takes all the crap people would throw at a celeb 24- 7. I said her manager/business team would probably love someone who just sits there like an inanimate object & takes everything 24-7 for years on end. (That’s Probably because that just makes their jobs easier.) Now… you Get that right? If not… Wat??? spoonfed ---

She’d probably ground and pound me and make me tap out in under 20 seconds. ---

Incidentally, it was announced recently that my celebrity crush will be getting married this year, after the 2016 Rio de Janiero Olympic Games are over. ---

No other Olympic Games is going to get to top that. “You can have a gold medal… OR… one of the celebrities standing on the stage behind that curtain…!” ---

Dinner would be great and all, but those four guys singing in the background all the time might get kind of annoying. The beatboxing would be awesome, but the guy singing bass would be way intimidating. ---

She would probably think, “I’m dating a man who’s old enough to be my father - plus, he’s married. On the other hand, he obviously admires me, knows my country well, has a good sense of humor, and we _do_ have some shared interests. Hmm. Maybe I won’t get that restraining order just yet.” As for me, I would probably be dumbstruck by her beauty and grace in person. But I’d be willing to try! And then later, guilt-ridden, I’d tell my wife, and I would never, ever see my celebrity crush again… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-would-happen-if-you-dated-your-celebrity-crush/752618.md?page=3)
