Singer Taylor Swift says she has become wary of falling in love as she does not want to be projected as a 'serial dater'.
Swift, 25, who has dated Harry Styles, Conor Kennedy, Joe Jonas in the past and been linked to other celebrities, said she now maintains distance from men in public to avoid any rumour by media, reported Vogue magazine.
"I wasn't going to go out on dates and have them be allowed to take pictures and say whatever they wanted about our body language. I wasn't going to sit next to somebody and flirt with them for five minutes, because I know the next day he'll be rumoured to be my boyfriend," Swift said.
"I just kind of took the narrative back. It's unfortunate I had to do that. And it's unfortunate that now I have this feeling like if I were to open myself up to love, that would be a career weakness," she said.
