Dear Crush On A Famous Guy,
Crushes – especially on famous celebrities – are actually a very normal part of adolescence. As a person moves from childhood, to adolescence, to young adulthood – they go from not being at all interested in romantic relationships to being active in the dating world. A stepping stone for this process often involves crushes, on people the person knows or people they doesn’t know (like famous musicians or actors). So even though it’s very possible that you may never meet this famous person and have a real relationship with him, it’s absolutely fine for you to enjoy your crush right now.
If you find that you start to become overly obsessed with your crush to the point where is it interfering with family relationships, friendships, school, or any other aspect of your life, then FX does recommend that you speak with a trusted adult about it.
