Never chase a boy, suggests Taylor Swift

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift says she won't mind giving hints to boys she likes, but she is sure she will never chase a boy.

"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," contactmusic.com quoted Swift as saying.

"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," she said.

"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."

Swift revealed she shared her first kiss when she 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," she said.

The "We Are Never Getting Back Together" hitmaker earlier dated several men including Joe Jonas, Harry Styles and Jake Gyllenhaal.
