I keep getting crushes on guys I can't date. You know...celebs, significantly older/younger guys, fictional characters.... I do sometimes like guys who I CAN date, but never as much.
How can I get over my impossible crushes when I do like a dateable guy? How do I stop liking these guys? Thanks!

Hey girlie! We have all been a victim of fallin’ for those impossible and uncrushable fellas. I've definitely had a few out-of-reach crushes—ESPECIALLY when I was younger. My friend’s older brothers, Hollywood actors, even my history teacher! It happens to just about everyone.
You can still dream about star-studded dudes
The good news? You don’t have to give up entirely on guys who are out of your league. Hey, they’re fun to daydream about, and decorate the walls of your room with. But, you have to come up with conquests that are within your limits as well. How to find some REAL dateable dudes? Try making a last of boys in your classes who make you blush. This will show you that there ARE fellas out there other than Zac Efron. Once you’ve found some potential hotties, kick yourself into dating mode and see if you can snag yourself a real-life Romeo that you don’t have to see by turning on the TV or going to the movies.
Remember, you don’t have to completely stop having crushes on these celebs, older or younger guys and fictional characters. You just have to draw the line somewhere. So crush away on these untouchable hotties, but they shouldn’t keep you from going after guys you could have a chance with in real life.
And if you wanna stay single...
Unfortunately, when it comes to romance, not many boys are exactly like the sweet and sensitive charmers in our fave rom-coms. Having a real-life romance means accepting another individual for who they are, flaws and all. Another thing to consider? Maybe you're just not better for a real relationship, so you keep on crushin' on hotties who you know you have no chance with. If that's the case, no worries. Dream away and someday (when you're ready!) your prince will come. I promise!
