If it would have been my way to begin with, I would have just had a traditional date with a person who seems like a very charming guy. Right now the whole situation feels somehow twisted, but tempting at the same time. It's never been my desire to "use" someone and I don't want to be toyed with either. I do respect him as a person and quite honestly, I like him as a person, even though I keep reasoning to myself that I shouldn't fall for him. I can't see him treating me as an equal partner, especially when I've already allowed him to have it his way.
the problem is that i think you are not seeing him as a regular person:

If I've ever had a celebrity crush in my life, it's a certain A-lister in my country who I also happened to meet a couple of weeks ago at a charity ball.
there are many many many many many many many charming guys out there who are also very good in bed. what makes this one different is that he is famous, so you felt like you already "knew" him before you ever met him. that's a byproduct of the media machine. that glamour is bound to wear off - perhaps once he farts in bed one too many times, or when he pushes past you to give an autograph, or finds someone new (see "ladies' man", above).
you could have had any number of wonderful non-celebrity men to have a fling with, but you picked one that fulfilled a longstanding fantasy. perhaps you like testing out the feeling of being the less-famous person in the bedroom, or maybe you just needed to get it out of your system. i am sure that you know on a certain level that this thing is built on smoke and mirrors, but the longer you spend with him the
more real/less glamourous he is going to become (and conversely, the more you may try to cling to the notion that you can build something substantial out of this, in spite of his protestations).
my advice would be... never have sex with a famous person you used to crush on, but it's a bit late for that. so i'd say cut all ties now, before this gets silly.
Thank you...
I'd like to think that I do treat people as people equally (it's not like I haven't met politicians or people classified as celebrities before and I'm generally speaking not exactly the type that gets all giddy because of it), but the fact that I've "known" him through media and even more that I've fantasized about this specific guy makes being in contact with him feel bizarre. If I should choose
the sexiest or most handsome man among celebrities, male models etc. in the world, it would most likely be this guy. He's more beautiful than I am, so I do feel insecure
Not being famous wouldn't make him any less attractive of a person. It's not that he's a celebrity, but that he happens to be
the celebrity. He's slightly different personality wise than I expected, but still exceedingly charming, intelligent, considerate and makes me laugh besides his skills in the bedroom.
Frankly, it would be much easier without the fame factor; I'd still have a fling with him and he'd still most likely to cause me trouble, but there wouldn't be the annoying potential problems with the paparazzi. He's made it pretty clear that he's only after sex, so a relationship is out. The sex is amazing and he's a fun person to be with, but I genuinely doubt that there can be anything more substantial.
