How would you take a rejection from a celebrity from one of your favourite franchises?

Daisy Ridley politely turned down a young man's offer to attend his college formal with him.
It's one thing to get this from the girl in your lectures, another to get it publicised on big media by a potential idol.

It's obviously a slow news day at Sky News, but I'm also bored and wanted to make a silly thread :P

So .... how would you guys handle rejection from your celebrity crush?

I missed out on a meet and greet with my celebrity crush but also sorta glad I did as it might ruin my thoughts of her :heart: :heart: :)

I don't have any celebrity crush.

It is so stupid to develop a crush on someone so unattainable by a regular person.

Celebrities owe nothing to those who have "crushes" on them. Daisy Ridley is right to turn down the fanboy's invitation. Besides, if he can't get a date with a classmate, then what made him think that he'd have even the slightest chance with a celebrity?

:roll:

How would I feel if they rejected me? Well, I don't think I'd ask them in the first place.

Peter Capaldi and Benedict Cumberbatch are married anyway.

I'm still very much in love & infatuated with my celebrity crush. I think getting a rejection from Miranda Cosgrove in real-life after we've gotten to know each other alittle bit(like hanging out or something) would help me get over the crush.

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill ...

I am ready to meet my "celebrity crush". Whether or not my "celebrity crush" is up to the ordeal of meeting me is another matter entirely.

I don't understand how people develop crushes for celebrities.

According to some celebrities' websites, people who live sad, lonely lives are the ones most likely to develop crushes on celebrities. My take is that many of their fans may have some kind of OCD going on. Who really knows? It's all conjecture.

I have a sad, lonely life and I don't develop crushes for celebrities. That's not a valid excuse for being a complete git.

As I said, who really knows? Some fans become real fanatics, going so far as to stalk their "crushes" and even invade their homes. That has to be some kind of an obsessive disorder, in my untrained opinion.

I dont see the logic of the question.

If you ask out a world famous sex symbol whom you know full well is not only out of your league, but is many leagues out of your league, then you expect to get rejected. So there is nothing to "take" when you get your expected rejection.

In contrast if you ask out the ugliest troll (maybe out of sympathy) in your own school, and the ugly troll rejects you- then that really IS rejection because you dont expect it, and because if an ugly troll doesnt want you, then who does?

Ask out a celebrity?
Are you insane?
There's no way I'd want to be part of that lifestyle.

I have an obsessive obsession with someone but I'd never want to meet that person irl or talk to them etc.
That's just creepy.

I suppose objectifying the unattainable allows a person to paint a perfect image of what they desire in a person.

Some might even do so with fictional characters, Christian Grey comes to mind.

I guess I'd just say "yeah fair enough" when my celebrity crush says "sorry, I'm a gay man in a committed relationship". It's a pretty valid reason.
