What if someone you dated in high school became famous?

 Let's say that one of the girls (or guys) you dated back in high school became the president or a musician or an actor or something. How would you react? I mean really, what if you knew Hayley Williams back when she was in high school, before she was famous and you two were lovers? You could tell everyone you dated Hayley Williams.

Any nobody would believe you.  You do realise that this is a video game website yeh?  Feel free to make a thread or two about gaming at some point.

It would probably just make me more depressed than anything else.

Plus Facebook relationship statuses. It would say if you and *famous person* are/were together.

I would be happy for them.

This. It wouldn't change anything for me other than my happiness for their success. "

My ex is on his way to being signed, or something or another. If he gets big then fair play. But like has been said it changes nothing in my life, I wouldn't talk of it to anyone new and those who know that we used to date I doubt would make a big deal of it. I have my own self worth without having to brag about ex-boyfriends!

If they became famous, I would call them sellouts. If the became infamous, however, my heart would go out to them.

This thread... Wow.

I didn't actually date anyone in high school (I came close, but in the end I was far too picky with girls), so this question wouldn't apply.
 
Besides, now I'm engaged to the love of my life, so I don't think I would actually care what my exes did or do.

Im going to go ahead and say it: This thread is a bad thread.

Unless I personally knew them and was close to them, I wouldn't care and I'd move on with my life.

Wait... did someone in this thread say "lovers"?
 
Hahahaha, awesome.

Umm......don't know of anyone from my high school that became famous. If so, I guess it wouldn't affect me since I didn't know them in the first place. 

" @Violetta: Nothing exciting would happen.  I went to school with a couple of fairly well known UK musicians who im still in touch with now, doesn't mean anything really. "

" It would probably just make me more depressed than anything else. "

wouldn't really bother me, I guess. Maybe I would congratulate them?

I'd probably bring it up in conversation once and then forget about it five minutes after bringing it up. It's not exactly interesting..

That's assuming I've dated somebody in high school. Or at all.

i didn't have anyone in high school. i would just say yeah, i went to school with him/her. tell somebody about that person. i won't make a big deal about it. i don't make a big deal about anything really.

I went out with a girl in year 7 who's sister got down to, like, the final 5 on some American Idol type show. Does that count?

Erm, think its cool and then move on?

If I knew anyone from High School and they became famous I would milk it for all it's worth.

" Wait... did someone in this thread say "lovers"?  Hahahaha, awesome. "

Then that would be a thing that happened.

I'd be slightly cooler for about 5 minutes.

Dating in high school? Crap, I knew I forgot something...

I don't know of any famous ppl from highschool. Seems like most of them were failures or something. I've never seen these ppl again.

Write a book about it and expose all their dirty secrets

I would still eat my cereal in the morning and get to work... its like your asking for attention dude. If they were famous for a reason i respect, i might give a comment about it if someone is mentions them or sees them on tv with me. 

Famous is a big word, but a guy I "dated" in high school is something of a decent musical actor right now.

I don't think I would care all that much.

I really should have dated in high school. I had some great opportunities, but at the time I guess I was too clueless to make anything happen out of it. Anyway, I went to school with a Jessica Alba. Not THE Jessica Alba, though. I still wanted to date her, just so I could say I dated Jessica Alba, but I'm not really that much of a prick.

Ring them up and try and get back on that poontang!

I guess I'd be kinda surprised and it would give me something vaguely interesting to tell friends.

I'd probably be annoyed, then be all whatever about it. Life goes on etc.
