Even if the one we like it's just the character and not the real person, this is not totally a stupid thing. It helped and is helping me in not to give up for my goals in life. Mine is to become an actor: when I was falling in love with Marzena, i knew that I liked the character, and even that to meet the actress would have been kinda impossible. But, telling myself "if you become enough skilled, you'll can meet her, a day, and act with her". Thinking this, I never gave up of my goal. And now, it's the same thing with Lauren. I know it's only a sort of "caprice", not true love, but pretending it's true I can continue to pursue my goal. Even Andrew wants to become an actor. If this it's his way or not, he will dsicover it. But, in the meantime, his love for David can drive him where he couldn't go without it. Good luck Andrew.
