Have you ever daydreamed about hooking up with a celebrity? Of course you have. No one is that happy with their life.

Sure, you might not have been the weird friend who practiced making out on her Nsync poster in middle school, but we all knew that type of girl and were therefore accomplices. Ew.

But there’s good news! Apparently celebrities dream about hooking up with us lowly peasants as much as we dream about being their Oscar dates.

Tinder recently announced that like Facebook and Twitter, it will be adopting verification badges to help the famous and riffraff intermingle.

Celebrities like Lindsey Lohan, Jamie Kennedy (he was in a few of the “Scream” movies, guys—I swear he’s kind of a celebrity), and Ashton Kutcher have reportedly used the app. Miss USA 2012 is also a fan.

Tinder was also a hit in Sochi during the Olympics.

Tinder reached the “next level” in the Olympic Village, according to U.S. Olympic Snowboarder Jamie Anderson.

The only problem is that people don’t tend to believe it when they make a match with celebrities, especially since celebrities tend to use fake names on Facebook, according to Tinder co-founder Sean Rad in an interview with Time.

“We’ve had celebrities reach out to us frequently throughout the last year, sort of calling out various frustrations convincing users that they were actually who they are,” Rad said.

Apparently people are hesitant to blindly meet up with users claiming to be celebrities. I’m guessing most people would rather their last words not be “Where’s Ashton Kutcher?” before being shoved into a trunk.

So now with celebrities going through the Tinder verification process, you could meet your certified dream celebrity crush.

Or, you know, Jamie Kennedy.

But let’s be real. When the Tinder founders talk about celebrities using the app, I imagine they’re more of the “Celebrity Rehab” variety than A-listers.

I can’t imagine Leonardo DiCaprio is cruising through Tinder between sailing on beautiful yachts on the Mediterranean and hooking up with models, or that Lupita Nyong’o is swiping right for hot dudes between cleaning her Oscar statue.

I could understand why celebs would want their own star-studded version of Tinder, but not really why they’d want to mix with us “normals.” No self-respecting celebrity would risk some average person publishing the sordid details of their hookup on their blog or talking to TMZ about it.

Besides, celebrities can land dates by walking into a bar and being famous. Some of us sort of need Tinder. But hey, maybe you’ll meet one of Mark Wahlberg’s less hot brothers or something.
