Want to date someone who understands social media: Bella Thorne

Actor Bella Thorne is keen to date someone who understands social media.

The "Shake It Up" star, who has been romantically linked to singer Charlie Puth following her split from "Teen Wolf" star Tyler Posey, wants to find a person who doesn't mind being in the spotlight, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

She told the new issue of Paper magazine: "They don't realise that social media is such a big thing in my life. So when you're in a relationship with someone who doesn't understand social media, it's a really big f*****g challenge... If you're not willing to be down with that, I can't change that about me."

"You think I want paparazzi following my every move? You think I want people trashing me on the Internet all the time, talking s**t about me? No! But that is my life, and if you're dating me, you need to know that you have to take that on in a sense, too."

Her statement comes after Thorne took to social media recently to say she has been "single for two weeks", amid claims she cheated on Posey with Puth.
