`Skins` actor seeks dating tips from Dev Patel

London: English actor Nicholas Houltis says he wants to take some dating lessons from his former `Skins` co-star Dev Patel.

The actor said he will be asking the `Slumdog Millionaire` star for advice on meeting girls, after Patel embarked on a relationship with his `Slumdog Millionaire` co-star Freida Pinto, reports a news website. "I haven`t seen Dev for a while. He`s obviously very loved up. I`ve met Freida. I haven`t hung out with them, that would be a bit third wheeling," said Houltis. "But she`s very nice. He`s done alright for himself there hasn`t he? I`m going to have to get some tips," he added. IANS
