My Date With Gerard Butler

Quite sometime ago I saw a documentary type film where this guy was campaigning for a date with Drew Barrymore. At first, I thought he was just another celebrity stalker with a new and inventive ploy to meet the object of his affection, and there was no way he’d ever come close to meeting Drew, let alone get a date with her.

I quickly realized that although this nerdy guy was kind of on the obsessed side, and not really just a regular “Joe”, he was not only able to get the story of his mission all the way to Drew, herself, but he was inevitably able to accomplish his goal. And with a little makeover, and a bit of coaching of course, he even got a date.

I have to wonder how, and if the average person, without any contacts or an inside track, could accomplish a similar encounter? Okay, I know what you’re thinking, probably the same thing I was…what a freak! Just another celebrity obsessed fan, right? But I’m actually just wondering if a celebrity is virtually unapproachable by anyone outside the industry and locked into only dating other actors due to the nature of the business, and would they even be open to a romantic relationship or friendship with just a normal everyday person? Is it taboo or unacceptable within the social circle of Hollywood to even entertain the idea of not dating another superstar or supermodel? Or is it just not possible due to the fact that they just don’t normally mingle with regular people on a daily basis? Maybe it’s just the simple fact that the only people they have the opportunity to socialize with are other famous people?

So I’m not a supermodel by any means, but I am an attractive, intelligent, and an insanely funny woman, who, I believe, deserves to be with someone that respects and admires those qualities, and deserves the pleasure of my company. I have high standards and integrity, and am looking for the same in someone of the opposite sex. Don’t misunderstand my point, celebrities are not necessarily gawd’s gift to the world, or perfect by any means. They’re just people, human beings, with flaws and issues just like the rest of us. And maybe some even more than others, since I’m certain that fame has a way warping a persons’ sense of reality. But what if, just like seeing someone on the street, or hearing about someone through mutual friends, you wanted to meet someone you’ve seen on television or on the big screen that just happens to be a famous person? Are you an obsessive fan, or just interested in seeing if that person would be your type? Most people never get the chance to find out, with no means or avenue to meet that person, who would ever know?

All of this is, of course hypothetical considering all of the factors. I can honestly say that there are celebrities that I would love to meet, just to see what type of person they really are. Obviously I have my favorite actors, but mostly due to their acting ability, not just looks, or persona, aside from Gerry. He seems funny, genuine, and an all around decent guy. But there really is no way for any of us regular people to know who or how these celebrities truly are, but I was just wondering how possible it would be to meet him and get to know him? I’m thinking pretty much impossible…but it’s an interesting thought. And while Brian was able to meet Drew and get a date with her, what are they to each other now? Was Drew skeptical of Brian’s motives, and maybe even his mental health? Possibly even a bit fearful? Granted there was a camera there during their date, and no doubtedly Drew had a handler somewhere nearby keeping a watchful eye on the couple, but I guess I don’t blame her. Better safe than sorry, and I can’t say that I wouldn’t feel a little uneasy after finding out that someone had been making a movie about getting a date with me. I have to say that I can totally understand the presence of some uneasiness. But have they kept in touch? Or has the publicity of it all just faded and they now just chuckle to themselves when they think about it?

With that being said… I invite and encourage Gerry to get in contact with me if he’d like to step outside the box and be a trendsetting celebrity. In fact, I present him with a challenge to pursue me if he wants to meet me. And, without trying to steal anyone’s cleaver idea, if he feels the desire, a documentary film about his endeavor may very well reach me through the average grapevine, prompting me to consider a meeting in a secure and well lit location.

LOLOLOL…see, I told you I had a wicked sense of humor.
