Robert Pattinson fears he will "ruin" prospective girlfriend's lives.
The 22-year-old star - who shot to fame after starring in 2008 vampire movie 'Twilight' - is too nervous to date in case the pressure of being seen with him becomes too much.
He said: "I'm always really worried about ruining their lives. Especially with people that aren't famous. It's such a massive change. I'm kind of a paranoid wreck."
Robert also revealed he still hasn't got used to seeing his face in magazines.
He explained to US TV show 'Entertainment Tonight': "It's getting photographed. You have people who analyse your facial expressions to the tiniest degree. So you're just trying to avoid getting photographed. You're like, 'Jesus, you can't win!' "
Robert has previously admitted he finds his new sex symbol status confusing, revealing he was never a hit with women when he was growing up.
He revealed: "It's funny, but about a year ago I'd talk to girls and no one would be interested. Then when it was announced I would be in 'Twilight' and the book's author gave me her seal of approval, everyone seemed to change their mind. The attention I get now is just mind bending."

Hey Robert....I don't think that you should be scared to love! If you meet someone she will have to understand that you are america's heart throb and if she really cares for you she will stand by you no matter what happens - good or bad! You shouldn't worry about runing that person life becuase if she is smart (which I hope) she will know what she is getting herself into. Pretty much this, you have to find someone that can handle anything and I don't mean this badly so please do not take it that way but don't go for another actress because there is just to much drama there! You will find someone who only cares for you and not your fame or money. But I do need to ask something...I feel very silly asking you this but where can fans send your letters to, since you did say that you read fans letters. I'm not some crazied fan here, i have been a fan of yours since your movie vanity fair with resee witherspoon (of course I mean you are absolutely beautiful - even if they say you are smelly - lmao but I am so joking!!) but really its not for me, I dont want you thinking I'm crazy which you probably already do. Well anyway not that I feel silly....hopefully someone will read this and I can tell my friend where to send fan letters. I really do hope that everything works out for you and if ya ever need to talk (wink wink...lmao) you know where to find a sane person :) Have an awesome day Robert....
I'd like to say that Rob appears to be very charming and unassuming, and he's dealing with sudden and overwhelming fame with great restraint. And to the committed Christian who just posted a complaint about Rob using the name of Jesus in vain, I'd like to say Get a life.
I think Rob Pattinsons love life is none of our business. I am 23 and it is difficult at the best of times with all sorts of things influencing your relationship. The pressure Rob must be under I suspect would be immense. I think a good partner would be someone who would watch from the shaddows staying out of the spot light so to speak, so although they wouldnt be involved in the hollywood scene they would be their to hold his hand at red capet events as i have read he is nervous about these sorts of things. Also they would be someone he could come to when he felt sad or alone and someone who shares his interests like staying in and watching movies or just hang out. But what Rob Pattinson wants or needs in regards to a partner is up to him and not the hoards of fans.
wow winddancer09 you really need to relax. just because you are a bible thumper doesnt mean we all are. rob was just expressing a little emotion and BAM your views on him change because he said the word jesus in his interview.
god said to forgive so at least forgive rob....jesus
I agree, but yet disagree with some of the comments above. True, I have been a fan from Harry Potter Days, but I don't agree to the extent that this Twilight obsession. Because that is the only way to describe it, an obsession that these fans have but are they truly for this actor or the person he portrays?
As someone who has been in the entertainment industry, I have seen what 'fans' have done to people. And this scares the heck out of me for this actor. Honestly, do we need to know what he poops everyday or track him down like a hunter to a prey. NO! And having been that supportive partner behind the scenes, you truly have to take a step back. Don't treat them as something to be flaunted or up on there pedestal or shout their names from the roof top. Instead treat them like a person. I hated going out to all of the games they play because it was no big deal to me. Good food, bottle of wine and cozy night is more my speed. If I would have had this relationship within the past 8 years with all of the cameras and press links to this blog and that report, I would died of the shear fright of it all.
What I don't understand is why we need to know all of this or the worst part assume all of this. Here is a poor guy who just wants to date but if he talks to someone or puts a hand on their shoulder or holds hands he is sleeping with them. Who cares? Did other actors loose their star power just because they married or went on a date? It is truly sad that just because of a movie role this guy feels this way. Who else is honest to say this in an interview?
I don't know about you but I am upset that we have come this far to do this to another person. He is not the person, he plays in the movie. Get over it so the guy can go back to being a human being.
winddancer09, belief in god is a disease. Get treatment for your mental illness.
Samantha i could not agress with you on his love life has nothing to do with any of us...everyone should just give him a chance to breath and maybe enjoy a little bit of his private life!
i agree let the guy breathe no wonder hes scared maybe if we bk off and give him some room he wont be so terrified

Up to this point I have been very supportive of young Robert Pattinson but when a young actor actually swears the name of our precious Lord, Jesus, in a comment that may be true, he goes a little too far. He should understand that a LOT of Christians will ban a movie over this. And, he should not presume that he is above God. He needs to at least learn respect for a strong belief in God that a lot of people have. I thought very highly of him and thought even at his young age that he had more common sense than to do something like this. I suppose like everyone has said, the fame has gone to his head.
