I dated musicians before I had any criteria for what I was looking for in a mate.

I distinctly remember feeling, back when I dated, that I could never date an actor...

I have no issue with people who like the spotlight. I couldn't care less if you have an ego, or are even very arrogant, etc, etc, etc. As long as we both love each other and get along. But, it's the temptations that come with fame and the spotlight that might temp the entertainer. And man, do I get insecure, sometimes!

I dated a musician. I love music so that aspect of the relationship was nice

Neither musician nor actor.

I guess living in someone's shadow is not my cup of tea (me Leo).

I had a relationship several years with a musician (Venezualian harp), but it wasn't his musical life that got to me (I wasn't too involved with his performances). The guy was a dumb shit.

Yes, I agree with Satsun. As an Aquarian, I could not imagine living in somebody else’s shadow. It’s funny but I can’t imagine fixed signs (in particular) choosing this path.

I like creative types as friends but just aren’t interested in them romantically.

I must confess that I am a bit of a glamour puss myself ??, and would not want my other half stealing any of my thunder ?

Would you date a musician?

I have. 2 guitarists and 1 bass player. Not at the same time. 

How about an actor?

No. If he is any good I won't be able to tell if he is fooling me. Well the musicians fooled me as well.

Are you an actor or a musician?

I am a singer.

How does it affect your dating life?

Well, their world evolves around the band, the gigs, their instrument and their addictions. When you do you better have a lot of other interests.
