Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson is adored by millions of women around the world, but his love life has apparently always been rocky.
"I had really bad luck with girls [when I was younger]: the ones I liked hated me and the ones that liked me were not my type," the self-deprecating Rob tells Glamour Spain. "But that’s something that I still go through. I like girls that I shouldn’t like. But I’m learning, and now I take my time before I let the girl know."
Pattinson, who's currently in Vancouver filming New Moon (the sequel to Twilight), has become an overnight paparazzi target thanks to the vampire romance's stunning popularity. And while Twilight centers on the obsessive love between a 17-year-old human girl and a 108-year-old vampire, Rob isn't sure the romance is very realistic.
"The conventional idea of love--the idea of being with somebody for the rest of your life and love her forever sounds so silly to me and so unrealistic," says Pattinson, 22. "I think you can love 10 people at the same time (laughs)."
The 6'1" British heartthrob is single at the moment, but tabloids have linked him to every young Hollywood starlet from Natalie Portman to Megan Fox to his co-star, Kristen Stewart.
Rob, who has only had one serious relationship so far, finds many smart, talented women attractive, but he doesn't fall in love that easily. "I’ve only been attracted to two women in my whole life," he confesses. "I’m crazy about independent women who don’t require too much attention."
When asked about his first love (whom he dated from age 18 to 21), Pattinson is nostalgic. "Our relationship was really beautiful, but we didn’t have an obsessive love like in the movie," he says. "Her presence in my life made me very happy for three years. Now it’s kind of hard to talk about."
For the moment, Rob doesn't have much time for romance since he's busy shooting New Moon and its sequel, Eclipse.
When asked about his overnight star status, Pattinson is philosophical. "I don’t mind [being the new It Guy]," he says. "My character [Edward] is so good, and he deserves to be admired. From the moment I signed up for this I knew what I was getting myself into."

Regarding what Rob says here:
"The conventional idea of love--the idea of being with somebody for the rest of your life and love her forever sounds so silly to me and so unrealistic," says Pattinson, 22. "I think you can love 10 people at the same time (laughs)."
I truly don't believe Rob has been deeply in love with someone. Certainly he hasn't found his soulmate. The one serious relationship he had at age 18, well he was VERY young.
When I think back on the first 'serious' relationship I had at age 18, I thought I was in love, but later I found out what real love was. I was not really in love with the guy in my first relationship, it was infatuation.
'Rob trust me, there is a special someone out there for you and once you find her you will never want to let her go!'
When one has not experienced something and I will give an example: having children. Some people don't even like kids, but then due to circumstances they do find that they are a parent. And suddenly they love that child more than themselves! Suddenly it's just OTHER people's kids you are not fond of, only your own cuz I've heard it said that they would die to save their children's lives.
When he finds the right woman, and I DO believe in soulmates, there is one for everyone, he will change his tune about love.
'And no Rob you cannot be in love with ten people at the same time. You CAN love ten or more people at the same time, but that's not the same thing as being in love. Which proves my point with your attitude.'
I think this attitude is coming from that he's still young and feels he doesn't want to be tied down right now, which is okay. He says he's crazy about independent woman who don't require too much attention.
'Well any relationship even the best or the most intense relationship requires some attention Rob. And when you find that special person, you will WANT to give her attention and make it work.'
Okay enough of my lecturing.
I also love his comment about Edward. This is the first time I have read where he says something positive about Edward. Instead of the usual, such as if you met Edward in real life he would be an axe murderer!
He's right, in what he says above, Edward deserves to be admired.
'And Rob, you definitely are the new IT guy, and I am glad to see you are comfortable with the idea. You deserve to be "it."'
Well I was trying to find this article again on the net and I couldn't! I reread it and noticed this was done two years ago! (correction - a year ago as he was only 22 at the time.)
I remember at the site where I got it from they did not have a date on the article. So perhaps Rob is more mature now and hopefully has a better outlook on finding love.
I know when he was on Ellen he said he wanted to be in a relationship but that no one wanted to be in one with him! LOL! He's so damned funny! Right Rob... You have no idea how many women would LOVE to be in a relationship with you or at least get to know you a bit... I know for sure I would love the latter..
