London, Jan 7 (IANS): Actor Daniel Radcliffe, who has been in a relationship with Rosie Coker since the past two years, admits he is terrible at dating.

"I hated dating, because I'm crap at it!" femalefirst.co.uk quoted him as saying.

"With Rosie, I didn't know what was appropriate, like on which date you're supposed to try and kiss her. I went to kiss Rosie and at the last minute lost my nerve and ended up kissing her neck, which is a very intimate place to kiss somebody on the second date. Fortunately, she just found it really funny," he added.

The "Harry Potter" star also says he is "not an easy person to love".

"There are lots of times when I'm a very good boyfriend, but there are times when I'm useless. I mean, I'm a mess around the house. I talk nonstop. I become obsessed with things (fantasy football, most recently). And she listens to it, and she loves me for my oddness, my awkwardness - all of those things that I hate about myself," he said.

"When Rosie's here, every day seems better. Ultimately, I think, it comes down to that - having somebody in your life who makes you happier than you thought you could be," added the 22-year-old.
