To be a complete fan girl because he looked at me.

[AmericanCatherineMary]

Name changed because it’s kinda recognizable.

Went to a gig and the singer made eye contact with me!!! I waved. And he waved back!

im 43. My friends are thinking I’m mad, but I’ve told my friends not to worry

My husband (we’ll call him Paul) is in pieces about it

I KNEW you were going to say Matt, OP. A friend recently cried because he came so close to her in the crowd and he was overwhelmed. The man clearly has something.

We were at their gig in Manchester on 4th July and they were playing Mr November as the exit polls came out at 10pm. A mind blowing moment

Matt who?

You fucking what?!

All the OP’s posts read to me like an extended in-joke for a select few, the kind of thing the bitchy girls at school used to do in order to exclude people.

@Insidelaurashead
Yes! I was there too and it was amazing

Oh, and a quick Google informs me I’m correct.

YANBU to fan-girl over your favourite singer and share that with Mumsnet. YABU to do it in a way that you know full well 95% of people won’t understand. It’s not school.

I’m so confused; is Paul happy or sad?

Paul is very, very sad. He thinks a famous singer is going to steal his girl. Very, very sad indeed.

thats where we saw him too!!! ❤️

Paul is a sad dad.

The National are a massive band. But honestly, the National fans are generally very very geeky. Promise, we’re not mean girls

Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

He is full of Sorrow.

Having been on stage, if the lights aren’t shining directly in your eyes, you can usually see the first couple of rows, slightly more at smaller gigs. Some band members often recognise regular gig goers too and will give them a wave, thumbs up, nod or shout out.

Yes ‘Paul’ Will be on here soon enough ‘My girl waved at a man, he waved back, is this cheating?’

I love the drama of it!! 😝

Oh bore off! OP can do and say what she liked, jeez talk about sucking the fun out of life. So what if she was on the wine, she sounded really happy, is that what the problem is? What’s the point of coming along to literally try and make something miserable for no reason. It’s so mean spirited for literally no reason!

Clearly you need to have some sort of insider knowledge to understand what’s going on here.

@JoanCollected

I suppose 'I get it'.

though I don't get crushes myself. Never have, much to my friends confusion!

but why the hell dors it bother you, it has no impact on your life. At all. Especially if you don't open threads to sneer.

just let them crack on with it.

Hozier. Gotta be.

Whoops, finally RTFT 😉

I was at a West Ham match years ago when Joe Hart was goalie and he winked at me! He's been officially my boyfriend (in my head) ever since 😃

my husband was like did he reaaaaaaly 🤔

I mean what a buzzkill 🙄 🤣

Oh no did I miss something in my haste to tell you all about my imaginary love affair?

I think the only way forward here is to get Paul to put something in writing, maybe log it with 111.

I saw my favourite (female) singer 20 years ago and she looked me right in the eye as I was right at the front and dancing like a loon. Made my night

I also shared a sauna with a well known female presenter. We chatted for a while. She then came in the open plan changing room where DD & I were. We chatted some more. She was v friendly. When she left DD said " mum, you're such a try-hard!"
