kitty99b Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 I've just met this guy that at first didn't seem like my type at all, he kept following me around this party and wouldnt leave me alone until I agreed to have a conversation. I didn't think anything of it though, he was nice but seemed a little too pushy and older. But during our conversation he proved to be good enough company and I liked him then. He asked me out on a date I didn't agree but got his number in case I got some free time and felt like taking him up on the offer. He was intrigued and really wanted my number but I refused and that happened to leave him even more interested (weird huh?).. Well a few days go by and I find out that the guy is a NFL veteran and is an all time very famous superstar....why didn't he mention it to me though? and can a guy like that actually be after something serious or just some past time?...I feel somewhat betrayed...just when I thought I found someone worth pursuing...
daphne Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Perhaps he didn't want to use that as bait to see if you liked him regardless. There's something noble in that, if that was his motivation. Talk to him and get to know him. I don't know that I see anything troublesome in his lack of immediate disclosure.
sofakingmad Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 it's not joe namath i hope...j/k yea sounds like he wanted to see if there is some real interest on your part without knowing he was a superstar.
Author kitty99b Posted August 30, 2007 Author Posted August 30, 2007 Find out if he is married first! My source tells me he has a child but is not married (divorced perhaps)
Author kitty99b Posted August 30, 2007 Author Posted August 30, 2007 it's not joe namath i hope...j/k yea sounds like he wanted to see if there is some real interest on your part without knowing he was a superstar. I guess so...I mean I have never dated someone like that so I have no idea how things happen with them...I have a feeling this expereince is going to be diff from any other I have...I am curious to find out if his character is as good as his career history

I think he didn't say anything because women would be interested because he was an athlete...not because of him...just like you... you didn't want to him...but now that you know...hum... .maybe... and that is quite normal...that's why he's not saying... popularity and money definitely makes someone much more interesting...

Lizzie60 Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 well before knowing I thought of him as interesting and a good talker and I was kinda debating on calling...but once I found out I knew I was going to call him...lol..is that so terrible of me?...but now that I know I am not sure how to proceed...I mean I feel somewhat intimidated...shouldn't i?...should i tell him i know or wait for him to tell me? and what if he doesn't tell me?....I am totally clueless in dating men like that...I usually date guys who are my age and that don't have a thought in their minds and definitely don't have millions in their pockets...lol...help please It is quite normal... not terrible ... LOL Knowing how curious I am about people.. I would certainly call him myself... it is fascinating to talk to people who have been a celebrity who near them.. I have met a producer, about 2 years ago... he still contact me.. I had sex with him once... anyway... I didn't want to see him after... but he was very interesting... all this travelling around the world... him meeting with actors... etc... quite fascinating.. he still message me... even after I told him many times I didn't want to see him again... Go with the flow... don't be intimidated... they're like everybody else... sometimes even more down to earth and not as ignorant and smart azz as some 'macho' type guys.. LOL Give him a call and meet just out of curiosity...and let me know how it goes...
JCD Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 I think the reason why you felt to call him is because you felt comfortable or safe knowing that he isn't a wacko because of his status. Just be yourself and view him as everyday joe blow. Lot of people who are famous, once you get to know them as human beings are pretty normal people. You'll soon forget about his status and view him as a regular man.
chill chic Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Well take it my from experience. I had a relationship, mostly an FWB with a pro baseball player. I didn't know until later on that night when he told me. Of course he was hot, had that hot, muscular, baseball body, but WOW he had a huge ego, he still does, and sometimes he'll contact me still just to feed his ego, because his ego needs constant feeding. It all went to his head, but when he wasn't all about himself, he was the coolest guy to get along with. And yes, he did get alot of girls attention, and sometimes he liked it, other times it wouldn't fade him because he was with me Anyway, the point of the matter is, just be careful, he might still have that arrogant "air" about him from pro sports, and be all superficial in certain things. Who knows, maybe he kicked that attitude once he stopped playing the game.

KenzieAbsolutely Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 maybe he didn't tell you because he assumed you already knew. you could take that information in a variety of ways.
sb129 Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 If you liked him, call him. I agree with the posters who said maybe he didn't tell you because he didn't want you to make any assumptions about him, or think that defines him. If you didn't know who he was, he can't be THAT much of a superstar. I don't always tell people my job when I first meet them- unless they specifically ask me. Its not a very exciting job, but people always make assumptions about you or want to ask you alot of work related questions, and I would rather not be defined by my occupation. Superstars are people with feelings too you know!
PoshPrincess Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Kitty, I say go for it, totally. You only live once! I agree that the reason he didn't mention being famous was because he wants you to like him for who he is, not what he does for a living. And I would imagine it intrigued him that you didn't recognise him as someone famous! Give it a go. You have nothing to lose. And make sure you keep us posted!
PoshPrincess Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 ...should i tell him i know or wait for him to tell me? Definitely tell him you know. He will probably be pleased to have things out in the open. Not only that, but there is no point in starting what could be a 'potential relationship' with lies. If you don't admit to knowing and he finds out later he may think you had an ulterior motive in hiding it from him.
Kasan Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 He is probably intrigued that you don't know who he is and you aren't throwing yourself upon him. One date can't hurt right?
LuminousZ Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 I think the reason why you felt to call him is because you felt comfortable or safe knowing that he isn't a wacko because of his status. Good point. Not like O J Simpson had any status!
Author kitty99b Posted August 31, 2007 Author Posted August 31, 2007 I am really not that big into sports so I wouldn't know a famous player if I stumbled upon one..lol...but see..the party I went to was an exclusive thingy...it was for wealthy men and models...but it never ocured to me that some of those people were actually famous...nonetheless I had a unusually good glass of some sweet wine and since I was with a good girlfriend I wasn't worried about anything besides have fun...so yes I probably exchanged a word or two with some superstars but was a little too tipsy to conect the dots...but I am glad I met that special man..he is not like anyone that I've ever dated before (not b/c his fame)...his is older, and I can't get over the fact that he was such a good talker...i mean i scarcely know the gentleman in question so i can only base things on my first impressions of him...but yes I am going to call him...sometime next week..and trust me there should be enough drama and confusion that I will write a new thread very soon:) thanks for the many words of wisdom...they always are a great help and truly appreciated
annabelle75 Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Go for it! At the very least you'll have an interesting story to tell. To this day people like to hear about the blind date I went on with Ryan Seacrest (prior to his AI metrosexual days). He took me bowling. Who knows? He could be a real catch. The fact that he didn't tell you is a good sign. He wasn't trying to bait you in using his celebrity status. Sounds like he is probably just genuinely interested.
