Emma Watson Reveals The Key To Her Heart: Ignore Her And Wear Proper Shoes

In every interview of Emma Watson weve ever seen, the 22-year-old Perks of Being a Wallflower star is nothing but outgoing, cheery and warm. But it turns out thats not necessarily what shes looking for in a boyfriend. Or at least not what shes used to looking for. On todays Ellen, she talks about the difference between British and American boys. The British lads dress really well and they are very well mannered, she said. But they are also very restrained. Usually in the whole courting situation, Im used to being first of all, ignored for the first two months of the ritual. And then maybe theyll acknowledge my presence. Then, theyll probably be a little mean to me. And then, maybe well, you know whatever.

Then I arrive in America, and I remember a few nights into [attending] Brown, this guy just being like, I like you. Youre great. Lets go on a date. Lets do it, Watson recalled. Im like, Im sorry, what just happened? This is like a huge culture shock for me. Theyre very li! ke open and very straight-forward.Hmm, we can sort of see the appeal of that hard-to-get game with a British boy. And Emma clearly does too, as shes currently dating Brit Will Adamowicz, whom she met during her year at Oxford. But it might not be Americans approach that put her off them

[American guys] wear flip-flops, so I dont know if I like that, she quipped.
