Glamour, good looks and a glitzy lifestyle – dating a celebrity is about all this and more. However, coming across celebrities in comfortable surroundings so that you come off as something more than an eager fan may pose something of a challenge; so here are a few ways you can meet and date a celebrity.

1. Party at the right places

Most celebrities, especially those from sports and showbiz, are known to be avid party-goers. Since in this line of work, it is as important to be seen in the right places as it is to be good at what they do. Right places in this case means trendy and upscale nightspots, which have limited entry and VIP lounges apart from exotic cocktails and lavish interiors. If you can manage access to these venues, you stand a good chance of finding a celebrity having a drink at the same bar as you.

2. Live where they do

The really high-flying celebrities may be quite wary of chatting up strangers in public places like bars and spas. Those that have been in the spotlight for quite a while have had their fill of screaming hysteric fans and may no longer be eager to entertain admirers from the other side of the social divide. The only way through these barriers is to live where they live. Being part of their geographical and social landscape will turn you into a familiar figure and you may find the partner of your dreams no longer so distant when you meet him/her at a neighbor’s poolside party or the local organic foods store. However if you cannot afford a place at such expensive addresses, consider working as a real estate agent since celebrities are moving in or out of their million-dollar mansions and apartments almost all the time.

3. Do your homework

If you are looking to date a celebrity, it is not enough to be able to meet them. Remember that they are surrounded and being solicited by admirers – some of them richer than they are – all the time. You need something extra to catch and more importantly hold their attention. This is where the importance of doing your homework comes in. Learn as much as you can about the person you want to snag; some celebrities are attracted to power and influence, which all their glamour and beauty cannot buy. Others are drawn to plain, down-to-earth people who pose no threat to their own popularity. Learn about the secret drives about the celebrity you want to date and then give them exactly what they are looking for.
