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."
