It might be better to pursue it and eventually be honest with them. As you learn more about their flaws, they will stop being an unreachable figure, and start to become a person you understand. At the same time, you don't need to hide your feelings as much (they might pick up on them, as like me, you probably suck at being sneaky). They'll feel respected and understood, especially if you make it clear that you'll accept a rejection.
That said, only try this if you can spend a lot of time with them. If you can't see each other very often, it would be hard for even a super charismatic person to form a meaningful bond. If they give a rude rejection to someone being so honest and vulnerable, you deserved better. If they give a kind rejection, you can move on and might be able to stay as friends. All potential options are better than the alternative, so be brave!
This advice (that I have never tried) should be taken with a handful of salt. I just looked at what didnβt work for me in the past, and assumed my anxieties then were totally counter productive. If someone was obsessed with me, I'd want them to behave this way. I want others to show me respect as an equal person, not hate themselves while seeing me as perfect.

Never could be. That said, there is a function to life that is very similar to a meaning, but it's somehow even less satisfying.
Life is a sequence of self perpetuating chemical processes that occurred by pure chance and were allowed to build in complexity over time. The processes that were able to self perpetuate the best would be the ones to continue, leading to the iterative feedback loop that defines evolution. As they grew in complexity, the replicators not only trended towards mechanisms to respond to challenges to their own existence, they also became better at iterating and improving as quickly as possible. At this point, the first lifeforms would actively improve their own chances, shaping randomness in their favor beyond what pure luck would provide.
Coming back to us humans, we're effectively driven in the same way as all life: work to exist with the goal of continuing to exist. We exist to replicate and endless sequence of chemical reactions. We work because if we didn't, we wouldn't be able to work anymore. It's not a meaning, but a simple fact. It's a circular argument that only needed enough lucky dice rolls to start.
This is the closest to objective meaning, but like I said before, I don't give a shit about living by it. Evolution is a cruel process that designs suffering and death into our lives to maximize that objective goal. Everything we want and desire evolved to point us to action, so there's no real way to work against it. We'll just end up at a dead end, or actually help the process advance, so we might as well just do what we find best. I personally favor maximizing human well being over the well being of any larger construct.
