Seeing some threads on celebrity crushes made me think.
Back in 2010 when I'd had virtually nil real relationship experience I developed a crush on an actor and being very much in the internet age I managed to -
- Find out exactly which house he'd lived in as a child
- Discover that we are separated by two contacts - I knew someone that knew someone who'd met him even though were were brought up 200 miles apart from each other and I have no friends or family in the acting profession
- Managed to find out his mum's telephone number online - she still lived in the house where he'd grown up as a child - now 12/13 year old me would've been all over this - phoning her etc - but luckily by 2010 I was old and wise enough to refrain from phoning and bothering the poor woman !!
I had such a crush on this actor I had many sleepless nights thinking about him back in 2010 
But just thinking - it's so easy to find stuff out isn't it? ! still think he's gorgeous and still amazed that I've spoken to someone who's close to someone who's met him!!
Anyway, I've now got a DP so I've got crushes under control (I think) 
13 years on - I've still not met him but now had real life relationships!
