Despite the rumours that Taylor Swift is dating Jake Gyllenhaal, the singer insists she is single.

“I know it seems like I do [have a boyfriend],” the 20-year-old told Seventeen magazine. “But I don’t!”

“My friends aren’t used to me introducing them to a lot of guys,” said Taylor.

“I’m not the girl who always has a boyfriend. I’m the girl who rarely has a boyfriend. But when something is a relationship I feel it, and when something is just a spark I feel it. For me all those feelings are equally important.”

So what kind of guy is Taylor after?

“I will always have a fairy-tale complex,” Taylor said. “And I know that I’m never going to live on top of a tower and his name won’t be Prince Charming, but he’s going to make me laugh and he’s going to be self-deprecating and endearing and he’ll be fun to hang out with. I think that’s what my idea of Prince Charming has evolved into.”
