With three-fifths of One Direction currently off the market, single band members Harry Styles and Niall Horan are in a very good position.
“I wouldn’t say I’m girl-crazy, but that makes me sound like a bit of a womanizer. That isn’t really me,” Styles says in the November issue of Seventeen. “But I am quite flirty — maybe I’m too flirty. I’m an 18-year-old boy, and I like to have fun.”
Styles — who lists Taylor Swift, 22, Rihanna, 24, and Rita Orta, 21, as his celebrity crushes — insists he doesn’t “actively look for a girlfriend. If I meet somebody who I like, then we’ll see what happens.”
Though Horan, 19, has been linked to good pal Demi Lovato, 20, in recent months, he tells the magazine he doesn’t “really have time to think about girls. When I’m not working, I only want to go back to Ireland and chill with my friends. Friends and family come first — always.”
When it comes to romance, “I don’t believe in games,” Horan says. “It’s childish.”
The remaining band members, meanwhile, are happily coupled up. (Liam Payne, 19, is dating Danielle Peazer, 24; Zayn Malik, 19, is seeing Perrie Edwards, 19; and Louis Tomlinson, 20, is romancing Eleanor Calder, 20.)
“I found the person I really, really like,” Payne boasts of Peazer, a dancer. “She understands everything. She’s really cool. We hang out, we watch movies, she cooks me dinner. I bring her flowers. When you find that special person who puts up with you, then you’ve got to stick with her.”
Malik only recently took his romance with Edwards public. “She was a friend for a couple of months — we exchanged numbers at a shoot for The X Factor UK — and then we decided to start dating,” he says of the Little Mix singer. “That was it.”
Tomlinson has been dating Calder, a Hollister model and junior at the University of Manchester, since 2011; they met through mutual pal Styles. “Aside from the fact that she’s hot, she had everything that I was looking for,” Tomlinson raves to Seventeen. “She’s funny, loud and confident.”
Plus, Tomlinson adds, “I’m not the type of guy who enjoys being single. I’m happy with the way things are with Eleanor. I told her I loved her after five months. I didn’t just want up one day and think I was in love — I knew it in my heart.”
