Just got a famous actresses' number. Would a young trader have any chance with a hot rich actress?

Just got back from a quick lunch break, first one i've had in 6 months not at the desk. I'm a 25yro quant trader/geek at a well known hedge fund in NYC and I pull in around $250k-$500k, all in, depending on the year. I was just at a bar downtown and this well known 23yro actress came in (not going to say who). Not knowing she was THE actress, I told her she looked like a gorgeous famous actress when she and her friend sat near me. (HINT: She was in a popular spy tv series) I know I know, you think i'm fucking crazy.

For about 15 mins she never revealed who she REALLY was and we just talked for a bit. I was in a pretty nice suit and she asked me where I worked and if I was one of those "tech start up boys, rags-to-riches" type thing before telling me she worked in "entertainment". I said no, I worked in finance.

So anyways, still not knowing who she really was, I asked for her number. She gave it to me. Didn't want to be bullshitted, I called her right then to make sure it was legit and so she had my number as well. Then I got up to leave... and some nearby NYU college kids started hounding her like asking her for an autograph and shit. She turns to me and smiles then looks away and im walking out the door like HOLY SHIT.

SO.....tell me right now that was all some upcoming reality show where actresses try to land dates with normal people. but what the fuck was that? would a famous actress really consider some up-and-coming finance asshole like us?

Here's an idea for you, stop posting questions on WSO about your dating life and just call her tonight for dinner.
tonight? shouldnt he wait a day or two?

and here's some helpful info for you - tom brady's theory on how to get a 2nd date from a supermodel:

There's something about mystery. Mystery goes a long long way on a date. Don't tell her your life story. Leave her believing that it wasn't a perfect date, that something was wrong with it. You don't want the first date to be perfect. Leave her thinking that something she said was kind of inappropriate, you felt offended. it will leave her coming back to you. Apologizing, overcompensating, wanting to talk to you again.

Why wouldn't a person have a shot with a hot/rich/actress? Girls are all the same. The main thing is to not make like it is a big deal for her to have money, or for her to be successful, and to just treat her like a normal person. If you are a cool dude, she'll probably take that for what its worth. I know several attractive women who were set to inherit 100M+ who have dated guys who were of far less wealthy (and frankly physically attractive) backgrounds. People who are successful/rich seem to take it as being less important than people who aren't at that level yet.

All that player/mind game sort of stuff just kills me.

“...all truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” - Schopenhauer
 

Assuming you're not just trolling:

You obviously had a connection and made an impression. She gave you her number so you definitely have a shot. She also knows that you legitimately didn't know that she is who she is, so you were just a chill dude chatting up a pretty girl. That's probably worth a lot to a chick who is used to people falling at her feet because she's famous. I'd say you have a solid shot at making something happen here. Good luck. Closest I ever got was banging an extra on Titanic.

 

Dude, if you want this to last beyond the first date, you really should take this post down and just get to know them. It's thrilling, but realize that they like YOU and they want that from you as well. If you turn this into something that it's not, they'll drop you in a heartbeat.

I almost got Brooke Burke's number. It was about 10 years ago and it snowed like crazy in early/mid November when she was signing her calendar at FYE near Rock Center. Nobody was on line and when I got to the front she looked up and smiled at me and asked what my name was and what I wanted her to write.

So I told her my name and asked her to put down her number and where I should pick her up later for dinner. She did not even look up again at me and started to write what I assumed was going to be something along the lines of "To NAME, Much Love Brooke".

A second later she stops and giggles, shakes her head and looks over at one of her people and says "I was about to write down my number. People have been asking me to write down the craziest things all day". I told her it was the holidays and she should be giving and continue with the number-giving. She smiled and signed with some canned standard message and I took my calendar and went on my way.

 

Ok OP. I'm going to bite.

I decided I'm not going to post why or how I know what to do..or specifically what you should do (you can PM me for that). But remember this. First-most famous people do not date other famous people-contrary to belief (but they DO date important/powerful people-and that definition can change depending on the person). Second-most famous people have friends who are not famous but again are important/powerful.

PM and I'll give you some background stories and what you should do here specifically-but you can pull this off in any numbers of ways if you remember that she (at the moment) assumes you are just as fun/rich/popular as her other guy finance/tech start up friends (yes she has friends like this already).

Last note-if she hasn't given you her full name (or it is different from her stage name)-never acknowledge you know who she is until a full night out at the least! And when you do find out-shrug it off like "I knew you looked familiar-too bad I don't watch spy shows." She will feel more comfortable hanging out with you as a person and not as a famous actress.

Good luck bud

 

Funny story of my own - I lived relatively close to a well-known actress and happened to see her every once in awhile leaving my building. Ended up getting her number and going out for a drink a few times. I think "famous people" like having a normal connection to people but it became pretty clear there was no chance of anything happening, especially when she moved out of the city not too long ago. I think in a way though people in entertainment and whatever are drawn to Wall Street guys so it's definitely not impossible. I also didn't know who she was until a buddy of mine told me when he saw me with her. Go for it man.

i got trolleyed by D-Wade and LeBron in Miami one time....and I'm a dude.

Just proves to everyone that celebs go for normal guys

Good stuff Swagon and Nouveau.

Two questions:

1) Spy series ended - as in finished its run for the season or completely ended? (Only series I can think of is Alias & Chuck thats completely ended)

2) Who did you say she looked like?

 
Cookies With Milken:
Nah it's just that smokeshow is too vague, generic and impersonal. I prefer a more personal and direct approach like:
  1. I mean... I'd probably still hit it.
  2. I'd hit it
  3. She'd get it
  4. dat ass
  5. KRUSSSHHH ITTT

  • I'd rape her

  •  

    Anybody can sleep with/date anybody so of course its possible. Back in the day I think Tara Reid was going out with a dude from bear Stearns...and this was back in the early 200s before she lost her looks and became a joke. In some ways her career mirrors bear stearns now that i think about it...but anyway not to get off topic... My only decent celebrity story is that i once got very drunk with Kirsten Dunst and a few of her friends at Gemma the restaurant in the bowery hotel....this was in her pre-rehab days and she was really fukked up and looked horrible. More like a burn-out hippie-type girl then what she looks like in the movies.

     

    you amateurs. if the chick is willing to bang you it doesn't matter if you wait 3 hrs, 3 days or 3 fortnights to call back.

    OP, go split this cockholster in half and make some good use out of your god-given sex rod.

     

    It wasn't Gabrielle Anwar from Burn Notice was it?

    lol this thread is cracking me up. Good thing you threw your comp in there so we can advise you when to call her.

    Agree with posts above, get off the internet and get a hold of this chick.

    I am certain this dude is completely full of shit, but it is true that these famous actresses typically date non-hollywood dudes. I have a good buddy of mine that that is a fairly famous actor in a tv series. As a result, I end up hanging out with a lot of other actors/actresses that he has become friends with (I'm in Socal).

    Almost all of the chicks are dating regular dudes. Dudes that would shock you no less cause they aren't the 6'4" underwear models or anything like you would expect for a hot young actress. They are average guys that are actually really chill and don't care what the chick does (at least thats how almost every single one i've met has some off).

    However, almost every single one of the chicks met her guy through friends and not randomly at a bar. Not saying it's impossible, but I am saying that it's super unlikely since they would have their guard up real high and would prob doubt that you don't know who they are if they're actually famous.

    call tomorrow.. ok posted 5/10 so call today or asap. she'll be busy with stuff and probably wont deal with playing with the game.

    like what other said.. just treat her like a normal person. you're a finance guy vs shes an actress so currently you have the more stable income.

    you said she's also up and coming so feed into her insecurities sometimes. ask her to dinner cut the drinks crap.

    i have nothing else for you.

    please come back and update us.

     

    can't tell if serious.. Proof and you can be inducted into the WSO hall of fame (not that I have much say :P)

    i like how you guys are telling him to reveal who she is or post some picture. im sure doing so would completely blow any chance he had with her if just ONE of her friends read this website and sent her the link. my hunch is still on fonseca being the actress and that he wont reveal anything until she rejects him after a few dates lol

     

    lyndsy fonseca from Nikita

    But if you are full of shit, it was obvious when you put her number in your phone and didn't include her name... You say you didn't identify her until NYU kids stormed her, but what kind of dumbass doesn't ask for her name for your phone?

    I don't ask for names...I usually text and call off of phone numbers.

    uhhh... what?

    He prob just got her first name, connor - which is pretty common. Also, even if he did get the full name, who the fuck knows who she is? You're gonna tell me you actually watch nikita?

    I had to look up "women in spy shows" to find her. Even then, was pretty oblivious.

    Even OP said, "You look a lot like so and so.." then a bunch of college kids knew her? She must be famous and the first name drop would have made it clear.

    my only celeb story is that i drank an old fashioned (extra cherry juice) with Harrison Ford at the Park Hyatt hotel bar in midtown on 57th a few years ago. He was pretty quiet. i think he was doing some interview for a movie that just came out.

    just google it...you're welcome
     

    Meh, Hollywood hasn't made a great movie in decades and most actors spend their time virtue signalling on social media.

    Not sure if it's worthy it, assuming it's true.

    Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.
