Los Angeles, Nov 26 (IANS): Singer Taylor Swift, who dated the likes of Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer and Taylor Lautner, has confessed she can't help but date dangerous men.

"There's a really interesting charisma involved. They usually have a lot to say, and even if they don't, they know how to look at you to say it all. I think every girl's dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad any more,"
showbizspy.com quoted Swift as saying.

"I don't think there's an option for me to fall in love slowly, or at medium speed. I either do or I don't. I don't think it through, really, which is a good thing and a bad thing.

"You don't look before you leap, which is like, 'Yay, this is awesome! Let's not think twice!' and then you're like, 'We used to be flying. Now we're falling. What's happening?'," she said.

The 22-year-old says one can't say were truly in love if it didn't last.

"If I end up getting married and having kids, that's when I'll know it's real - because it lasted," she said.
