'Potter' actor is "rubbish" with girls

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has admitted that he is finding it tough to converse with the opposite sex.

"I'm much more confident (than Potter) but I'm just as rubbish," the 16-year-old said. "It's weird. I like to think that I'm not, but I may be wrong. Ask the girls. I don't have a girlfriend, but I try.

"I think of the perfect lines afterwards. I find that lines - no one should use lines with girls - don't work. 'Hey, do you come here often?' What is that? 'Hey, is this seat empty?', 'Yes, and this one will be, too, if you don't leave me alone.' So I don't understand girls but I'm learning slowly."

The actor has recently completed filming on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, due out in November.
