Taylor Swift would never chase a guy

London: Country star Taylor Swift says she likes to give guys hints when she likes them but would never chase anyone.

While the 23-year-old `Love Story` singer has a number of tricks she uses to show a guy when she is interested in him, Swift said she would never actively pursue someone, reported Contactmusic. "I ran into this problem a lot when I was in Junior High because the guy I liked never noticed me. The best thing to do is give little hints. Go up and talk to him! But don`t seem desperate. And never chase a boy," Swift said. "I think it`s always good to be somebody`s friends first. If it escalates into something more, that`s awesome. If not, now you`ve got another friend. Never be jealous. You can be competitive, but never be jealous. If you`re jealous in a relationship, it`s because you`re not confident in yourself," she added. Swift also revealed she had her first kiss at the age of 15. The `We Are Never Getting Back Together` hitmaker, who has dated a string of stars including Joe Jonas, Harry Styles and Jake Gyllenhaal, says she was a late bloomer but is happy she waited because she dated the guy for a year afterwards. "I was 15. I was one of the last of my friends to ever kiss a guy. It wasn`t a bad kiss. I think it was cute. We ended up dating for a year," Swift said. PTI
