Way up there

[tonica]

The other day, I watched the last episode but one of the UK tv series Being Human. As I tend to do, I've fallen hopelessly in love with one of the main characters, but considering the fact that he's a vampire, this time it's more the actor I'm attracted to. There he is, the latest in a long line of celebrity guys I fall for. I fall for them, but I can never hope to even exist in the same world as they do. Jonathan Bennett, Alexander Rybak and now Aidan Turner, are just a few of all those guys.

And then it hit me. They are all way beyond my league. Don't get me wrong, of course these actors and singers are, and that's not quite what I meant. I always imagine that type of guy, in real life, closer to me, and on a few occasions, I find that yes, that type of guy would be just within my reach, if I'm lucky. But not most of them. They're way above and beyond me. It's a discouraging thought. I don't mean that they have different interests or even that they are clearly far more outgoing and successful than I am. There's more to it than that. Guys like that - again, I mean good looking, charming, interesting guys, even outside of show business - would pass me by, without even taking a second look.

I don't know where I'm going with this, but it made me a little sad. They won't even give me a chance. The ones I do meet, are usually either not interested in me or I'm not interested in them. If there's more to it than that, well, when we go our separate ways, I'll bet there aren't a long line of women waiting to snatch those guys up. So I guess we're the B team, if there are even enough letters in the alphabet for people like us.

That's not quite how I imagined my life would be, when I was fifteen or sixteen, but I guess that's just how it is.

Oh, I don't know. My chances aren't any better than yours, but at least you already have someone. I'll just have to keep looking, and hope there are guys out there who prefer older women. There are, I know there are. There are even ones who like women who are 60+. Don't they say that 60 is the new 40? Of course they also say that 25 is the new 50. Absurd, I'd never trade 25 for 50. Not in a million years.

Looking forward to seeing Aidan Turner again in that new series. And as you say, slash is wonderful.:)

Stupid. I deleted your comment. I really don't know how that happened. Oh, well, you'll remember what you said. :)

Haha, it's easier to like celebrities than real life boys, isn't it? XD My experience at least.

Aww, that's sad to think, though. I mean, I understand how you feel, but I guess it isn't strange to like the sort of guy that all girls like. I don't know. Guys like that often aren't really worth your time in real life. If they're used to girls throwing themselves at them, they don't feel like they have to work for it, lol.

*hugs* This made me sad, too! I get to thinking that at times as well, though honestly I don't come across many real life guys that I would even consider dating. I really, really feel you there. The last line was kind of like the ending to a chapter in a book. I kind of like it, even though it's sad, too. Lol. ^^;;; Feel better, hon! You'll find a guy someday, I'm sure. Just like they always say, haha. But it tends to be true.

Yes, you're right. It is a lot easier to fall for celebrities. I hardly ever meet any guys I'd consider dating either, unfortunately. Well, I hope people are right, because I get sad thinking about being lonely for the rest of my life.
