Hailee Steinfeld, who was nominated for an Oscar this year for her role in True Grit, told People that despite her newfound fame, she’s not dating right now. The 14-year-old actress says she’s afraid that boys will want to go out with her for the wrong reasons. “I feel like I can have crushes on guys, but I’m always worried they may only feel a certain way because of who I am.” But Steinfeld says that she’s okay with being single. “I don’t feel like I need to be with anybody in that way right now. My guy friends are like my brothers.”
What are ways to tell your partner is dating you for the right reasons?
Cupid’s Advice:
When you reach some kind of status, whether it be earning a lot of money or becoming famous, sometimes people will ask you out for selfish reasons. Cupid has some tips on how to spot these types of people:
1. Beware of gold diggers: If you could never get a date before and all of the sudden people from your past are coming out of the woodwork, they may be interested in something other than your personality.
2. Standing by you from the start: If your partner has been there from the beginning: before you lost the weight, got the great job, etc., then you know he or she is dating you for the right reasons.
3. And until the end: On the other hand, if you go from riches to rags and lose it all and your mate sticks by your side, then you have yourself a keeper.
