Zac Efron has been taking part in a LOT of projects recently, and right now he's in Australia with Adam DeVine to promote their new movie Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates.

Since he seems so busy, we thought that might be the reason he's laying low on the relationship front – but as it turns out, he's not in a relationship because he's a "nerd."

His words, not mine, ladies!

While chatting to TheFIX, Zac was asked what's up with his love life, and the star insisted that he finds it hard to date:

"One thing I'm not great at is dating. I'm a nerd, dude. I love comic books, video games… I just love chilling," he said.

Now, if you (like us) fancied him since the moment you saw him on High School Musical, you'll probably be thinking that you really don't mind him being a nerd.

And neither do we. Nerds are hot anyway… right?

It's hard to believe it's been less than a month since we were all crying into our pillows after learning Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris had ended their 15-month relationship.

But a month in Taylor-time seems to work like years in real time as apparently TayTay has already fallen head-over-heels for her new beau Tom Hiddleston.

According to E!, the Shake It Off singer has already been using the L-word about Tom when speaking to her friends.

A source said: "He is very romantic and attentive towards her. He is extremely charming. He also makes sure she feels safe wherever they go together."

"She is on cloud nine and really enjoying this quality time they are spending."

"She texted her close friends and said, 'I think I am in love and I never felt this way before!'"

"She loves the fact that Tom acts like such a mature man."

"She loves that he is older. She feels very safe and protected with him. The attraction is very strong."

And it seems it's more than Taylor who has high hopes for this relationship as apparently both Tom and Taylor's families gave the pair their blessings before they headed to Rome on their latest sightseeing break.

The source said: "Taylor's parents met Tom and they are so pleased with his mannerisms and the way he treats their daughter." 

"Tom's mom has met Taylor and she loves her."

"He Introduced Taylor as his girlfriend. Tom told Taylor afterwards that she made a great impression. Tom's mom was joking around saying she wants grandchildren."

"Their families love them as a couple, and it seems like everyone, including her close friends, think this is going to be the guy she will end up with."

Well if that's not passing the family test with flying colours, we don't know what is!

So, relationship experts have had their say, and according to them, there's FOUR different types of photos that you must have on your Tinder or dating profile in order to find a good match.

According to the Daily Mail, the four various snaps include: A glamorous one, so your match can imagine what you'd look like on a first date. Dreamy…

The second pic should be a casual photo, to show the lads that you're cool, casual and laid back (LOLZ, don't they realise we're all a tad psychotic?!).

The third is a "sun-kissed" photo, because the experts say that us gals apparently look the best in the sun. (Urm, they do realise it's Ireland we live in, right??)

And, the last but not least is a sporty photo to show that we're healthy and active and take care of ourselves. If you're not sporty (*cough*), good luck to ya.

They ask for a lot, don't they?! 

However, if you really want to find some love, we'd say be yourself, look and dress the way you want to and take the pictures you feel totally comfortable with.

You're great, and nobody can tell you otherwise.

Go get 'em, girls.

Usually TV stars have no bother finding a little romance in their lives – but not for Ollie Locke.

The Made In Chelsea star has joined the dating app, Tinder in a bid to find the perfect partner.

The reality star flies under the name Obba and kept his profile quite simple, just saying, "A Londoner working in TV and writing around the world."

According to the Daily Star Online, Ollie has a few steamy snaps on his profile in hopes a special person might swipe right.

One photo sees him relaxing in bed with his pet dog and another is of him pouting in bed again but this time he's topless.

Mr Locke came out as bisexual on the E4 reality show but has proven unlucky in love after a number of failed relationships.

Hopefully he'll find true love on Tinder.

The Love What Matters Facebook page always manages to give us a smile (or a tear) with its wonderful array of personal stories about love and family, sent in by people from all over the world.

One post in particular, which went up last night, has already racked up close to a million likes, despite being one of the simplest stories ever shared on the page.

The picture, taken in a shopping mall, shows an elderly couple leaning over a make-up display.

"This husband was helping his wife choose a make-up that matched her skin tone," the photographer explains. 

"She was so concerned about finding the right one and he was so unbelievably helpful. She was having a 'girl' moment, in a panic struggling to find the right one.

"He calmed her down, helped her find her colour and kissed her on the forehead.

"It was such a simple way to show how big his love was for her. A perfect reminder that our bodies grow old but our love doesn't have to."

If you're not crying after seeing that post, we guarantee you will be after reading some of the 65,000 comments posted below it, from other people sharing their own experiences of true love:

Amazing.

Dating etiquette can be something of a mystery, especially if you're a) just out of a relationship, b) meeting someone on a night out or just c) really in the mood for the ride.

It's hard to know exactly how long you're 'meant' to wait to have sex with a new partner, and while there's no hard and fast rule, a new survey shows that most of us do hang about a while before jumping into bed.

According to research by relationship site IllicitEncounters.com, the average new Irish couple waits until the fourth date before sleeping together.

And for most of us, first dates are just reserved for chatting and maybe some flirtatious eye contact – because the majority of couples wait don't even lock lips until their second date.

However there is always an exception to the rule of course, with 17% of men and 13% of women saying they've had sex on the first date. We'd love the data on how many of those first 'dates' occurred in Coppers…

As for getting serious and saying the L-word, it seems that's something we're content to wait a whole lot longer for.

Yup, the first 'I Love You' comes after at least 14 dates in the majority of cases, with women admitting they'd wait even longer to say it just so they wouldn't have to drop the L-word first.

Almost three-quarters (72%) of men say they were the first to talk about 'love,' compared to just 28% of women.

What do you think – do the figures match up to your own experiences?

We've heard it time and time again – trust and honesty are two of the most important parts of the foundation for any healthy relationship.

But could lying actually help you and your other half to last the distance? According to science, that could indeed be true – as long as you're lying to yourself.

Researchers in Buffalo, New York, monitored around 200 couples over the period of a few years. Each half of the couple was asked individually at various times about how they felt about the quality of their relationship, and also about the traits they felt an "ideal, imaginary partner" would have.

One glaring observation the researchers noticed? Many of the couples felt that their other halves were very similar to the idea of Mr/Ms Right they had in their head – even if their spouse didn't report those traits in themselves.

So while you might say your partner is super-thoughtful for the surprise delivery of roses that arrived at your door on Valentine's, they might not necessarily think of it that way themselves – especially if the "surprise" only came about as a result of a frantic reminder text about Valentine's from their mum/sister/BFF.

According to the researchers in Buffalo, the couples who think better of their spouses – regardless of the reality – did better in the long run, because each half of the couple wanted to work to live up to their partners expectations.

Basically, your positive reaction to those last-minute roses might be the exact thing that spurs your other half on to do something extra special next Valentine's, just to keep you smiling.

Of course, the researchers warn that this advice certainly does not apply to more drastic situations like abuse or downright unhealthy relationships – but they noted that for couples who were already in a good place, a little delusion could go a long way.

We're still wondering what love really is, right?

It's a whole spectrum on things, yes, but the lads over at Jimmy Kimmell Live decided to grill some children on the street and ask them what they think love means.

Some give epic answers that we couldn't have even thought of ourselves and others… Well, let's say others are totally steering clear from all that mumbo jumbo.

Whether you're in love or out of it, these kids are sure to give you a lot of insight.

Valentine's is upon us again, and while we're all for loving and being loved, there's always something a little contrived about February 14.

Queues in every shop for last-minute bunches of flowers, restaurants packed to the brim with couples who'd much rather be chilling at home… and the teddy bears. So many teddy bears.

This year, we're opting for something a little more subtle with our Valentine's plans. After all, there are loads of ways to show you love someone and not all of them have to involve rose petals and cheap boxes of chocolate.

Here are a few ways to show your love – without the cheese…

1. Choose your card wisely
Go for a handmade option, or pick one of these no-bullsh*t cards by one of Ireland's many genius designers. You don't have to buy a card plastered with hearts just to make someone feel loved… promise.

 

2. Make your gift personal
Ditch the loveheart teddy and go for a little momento of your relationship instead – a photo collage, a framed receipt/ticket stub from your first date, or a copy of the film you both watched on your first awkward trip to the cinema.

 

 

3. Surprise them with their favourite meal at home
Deliveroo offers delivery from top Dublin restaurants – everywhere from Carluccio's, Brother Hubbard and Dillinger's to Leo Burdock's – direct to your door in an average of 32 minutes. What more could you want for a night in?

The Deliveroo team were out to #ShareTheLove in Dublin yesterday – so be sure to show yours this weekend.

 

4. Whip them up breakfast in bed
You don't need to go all gourmet – some eggs, toast, avocado, OJ and coffee make for a cheap and totally delicious brekkie. Plus, once it's made you can hop back into bed and get cosy too!

 

5. Plan a totally chilled out date day
Sometimes you just need to forget what you "should" be doing and go with your own flow. Binge-watch Netflix all day, go to a double feature in the cinema, head to the beach for a long walk followed by chipper chips… whatever it is, do something that'll leave you both relaxed and smiling from ear to ear.

 

6. Book a cheap trip to somewhere you've never been
Budget airlines are perfect for random mini breaks, but if you want to stay closer to home, simply head off on the train or bus to a county you've never visited before. Beats a package trip to Lanzarote any day.

 

7. Just say it
Sometimes just saying the words "I love you" is enough to give your other half the best feeling in the world.

You either LOVE Valentine's Day or you hate it. And it's easy to see both points of view.

If you love spending time with bae and relish with all the sappy love songs, poems, teddy bears and cards, then good for you.

On the other hand, Durex surveyed couples all around Ireland and found that only 24 percent are actually looking forward to the day and 28 percent said that if they receive roses it'll be a serious turn-off. Ouch.

So, to cut the clichés of V-Day, here's some cards that tell it like it is – and these are all available to download via Durex's Honest Valentine's Day Cards app on Facebook.

If you've even watched an All Blacks rugby game, you'll know of the 'haka,' a traditional Maori war dance.

The routine of aggressive chanting is often associated with power and challenge, but New Zealanders also view the haka as something to mark a bond and to welcome a guest into the family.

Benjamin and Aaliyah Armstrong were treated to one such haka at their recent wedding, when their best man, male guests (and even a bridesmaid or two) surprised them with the routine.

The moment Aaliyah bursts into tears is so special – but you'll notice she soon dusts herself off and joins in.

Aaliyah and Benjamin's video has already gone viral, and has been shared all over the world. watch it and you'll soon see why.

There has been an uprise of dating shows on TV lately (becaue they're the best thing ever), and it's safe to say that everyone LOVES First Dates.

But, there's a new show airing tonight on Channel 4 and it takes a rather different approach.

The ladies that are looking for love are leaving it up to their children to find a potential partner – and we just think it's the best idea ever. 

On tonight's episode you will meet 39-year-old Katie, who is on the quest to find a new man after her 12-year relationship broke up.

Her sons, Jay, 21, and Harry, 15, go on the hunt to get Katie a new beau, with Katie revealing, "they know me better than I know myself."

Jay and Harry also admit that they're surprised that their mam hasn't found love as they say, "look at her she's beautiful!"

We'll guess we'll have to watch tonight at 10pm to see if Jay and Harry are successful.
