Meeting famous people

Find out where you can meet them and find out how you can be there.

I think you could also read about other meetings with famous people and what to expect, and what you can do to prepare yourself. If there are things you wish to get signed, see that you have a pen that can sign on the material, if you have gifts you want to give to the person etc.

One thing is that you remember the celebrities are also people. Most actors, for example, are very interested in people, as stories. They would like to know you better. Prepare something you can tell about yourself, a little anecdote about how you became a fan, and so on.

Also, remember that actors are (usually) professionals who take their work and art seriously.

Marriage, romance and sex

Marriage is an important event in a person's life - if one wishes to marry.
So plan it, make a wedding scrapbook or journal where you post all the ideas that you think are nice and all the photos you like, of wedding dresses and flower arrangements and wedding cakes.

There are two things to avoid:
- don't become a bridezilla. That's really awful.
- don't ruin anyone's economy with your wedding. A wedding shouldn't cost as much as a house and several thousand dollars' wedding dress or cake is, frankly, stupid. 

Try on a wedding dress / Find the Perfect Wedding Dress / Wear a beautiful, Belle inspired wedding dress
Get married / on a beach / outside in the country / in Vegas / unusually
Marry / Marry --- / someone swell / that person I can't live without / the love of my life / Get married to someone I'm truly in love with
Only get married once
Have the wedding of a lifetime
Throw petals at my wedding instead of rice

Have a wedding lit only by candle light
Have floating lanterns at my wedding
Bust out Gangnam Style on my wedding day / dance to ---- by --- on my wedding day / dance with my dad/mom/--- at my wedding /
Discover the perfect "Something blue" cocktail for my wedding reception
Shove cake in my partners face at our wedding

Make my fiancé / fiancée's wedding ring

Stay Married For 50 Years / For Life

Celebrate important anniversary milestones in your marriage.
Celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary / 50th Wedding Anniversary / in Paris, France

Enjoy some Afternoon Delight ;)
 


Well... er... none of these requires money.
Necessarily.
It is highly possible someone would buy you a plane ticket just to have sex with you in the plane, or invite you to their private jet, but... hmm... I really think you should consider very carefully with whom you have sex, where and when, and not do it just to be able to check off a goal from your list. Especially if "losing my virginity" is on the list.
Frankly, you can pay with your virginity and sex a world around trip, it's just that the man (or woman) who pays for it might not be your dream man.
50 Shades of Grey doesn't happen, neither does Pretty Woman.

This also reminds me of a discussion... some guy was giving some gals his ideas about sex bucket list, and it included being f-d with a dick/dildo of ever growing proportions. I remember thinking that he should be subjected to the same... then he could have a say.

Nevertheless, THINK! 

I for one am really proud to only have had one man in my whole life.

Meeting non-famous people

- going on a date
- getting a friend
- getting a BFF
- getting a girl friend
- getting a boy friend
- falling in love, having sex for the first time, getting married... if one wants to

Date a British / a French / an Italian

Date a foreign guy / ---an guy / guy with a beard or a mustache / a musician / a redhead

Date someone exciting but completely wrong for you

Go on a date with my significant other each month / take myself out on a date

Date a week / a month / a year / 15 months / 18 months / 21 months / 2 years / 3 years / 5 years

Date someone I meet at a wedding / at a bookstore / on match.com / on okcupid.com / on oneharmony.com

Date someone younger than me / someone older than me / someone completely wrong for me / my best friend / someone who says "I love you" first / someone I said "I love you" first / someone with whom I have a mutual, honest, mental connection

Go on 10 dates / a blind date / with someone from a dating website / with my first love / someone who is ---/ who isn’t --- (Christian…) / double date / with gay people /stargazing date / Valentine's Day date

Take risks and chances on love / relationships / dates

Going on a date is pretty free and harmless. You definitely should go.
You can find someone through internet dating or personal ads page, but I would recommend getting active in some fan activity in your town or neighborhood. I met my husband actually in Stockholm Tolkien Society, and I know there were a lot of couples who found each other that way. Not all of those relationships have lasted - or will last - but it will be fun as long as it lasts.

You should also study the art of conversation and cultivate it.
Give yourself a goal of talking to someone every day. Preferably someone unknown, but a neighbor is good, too. Or your family.
Talking to people and making friends is a skill like any, and it can be learned.
Flirting can be learned.
Keeping friends can be learned.

Also, get yourself hobbies.
You love reading, languages, writing, movies, certain tv series - you are not alone.
Go to http://www.meetup.com/ and find things you are interested in. Join a group. Go.
Give yourself a goal to join a new group every month and go at least once a month to a meeting, and talk to people.

Here's a couple of movies about finding good friends and creating a circle of best friends when adult.

Enchanted April
Jane Austen Book Club

The thing is that... let it go. Let it happen. Don't sweat.
Live and let the friends find themselves into your life.
