Get Over Your Celebrity Crush

At some point or another, most of us will develop some celebrity crush. Be it Justin Bieber, One Direction, or Scarlett Johansson, chances are it's not going to actually blossom into a real relationship. When it comes time to get over your celebrity crush, it won't be fun, but it will be a necessary step in growing up a little and moving on.

Steps

  1. Face it. It's more than likely you will never meet your celebrity crush, and even if you do, it's also likely he (or she) won't take an interest in as you are just another fan to them. But, why would you set yourself on someone who doesn't value fans as real human beings? Don't you want to be with someone who wants to get to know you intimately?
  2. Look at your admiration for this celebrity logically. Are you applying characteristics to your crush without knowing whether or not they actually have them? Though a person's career may be interesting, that doesn't necessarily make the person interesting. It's likely that, besides their work, your crush is just like anyone else walking down the street. They may be polite and funny, but they may also be boring, a snob or slob, greedy, or have many other faults that they just don't show in public.
  3. Distance yourself from your crush. Take down all posters, don't see a movie they are in or listen to a song they sing, and don't daydream or talk about them with others. Immerse yourself in something else that is pleasurable but healthy. Until you either get over your crush or appreciate their work but not be obsessed with them, take them out of your life.
  4. Spend a lot of time watching or listening or whatever at them. You may think that you could never get sick of your crush, but you're more than likely wrong. Once you see the same movie, listen to the same song, or watch the same interview so many times, you'll just be tired of it. Soon, you'll realize how silly it was to have obsessed over a trivial person. This doesn't mean you can't appreciate their work or talent, but you certainly don't have to make them the center of your attention at all times.
  5. Find a friend or special someone you enjoy spending time with. See how much more you admire someone who you already know or are getting to know closely then a celebrity who is constantly traveling, working, and doesn't have much time to chit-chat. If someone who is in your immediate life wants to spend time with you, take the opportunity to distance yourself from your celebrity crush.
  6. You should know to back off if your celebrity crush is taken. Of course you can comment on how handsome or beautiful a celebrity is, but once you start disliking or even hating their girl(boy)friend or spouse or want to have a relationship with them while they're taken, don't take it too far. It's obviously inappropriate - how do you know that it would benefit you or your celebrity crush more if you were in a relationship with them? If your celebrity is taken, know that they probably found someone right for them, and be happy that your celebrity crush is happy in their relationship.
  7. If you're cheering on a celebrity who is separating/divorcing from their significant other, know that this celebrity is probably feeling pain right now, and you shouldn't be reveling. Hope that they may find some peace and happiness, but don't jump in thinking that it's now your turn to snatch them.

Tips

  • Never ditch your morals for what will most likely be a momentary crush.
  • It's fun to confide in someone you trust about a celebrity crush. But, it's even more fun helping each other find someone real in their life to begin a relationship with!
  • If your celebrity crush is much younger or older than you, you need to get over it. It would be inappropriate, most likely, if you were ever in a relationship with them and you're better off with someone who you know who is your own age.
  • Also, you can start by backing off little by little. Getting over a crush will not take a day. It probably might take two weeks or more to finally realize that you are not into them as much as you were before.
  • Stop looking at their pictures.
  • You can still admire them, but imagine yourselves as friends not partners.

Warnings

  • Please don't let your celebrity crush affect any current romantic relationship you have. It's alright to admire someone's looks a little bit, but don't start comparing your significant other to your celebrity crush. How do you know that your celebrity crush is right for you if you've never had a relationship with them before? And since you're already in a relationship, obviously something clicked and worked, so why change that?
