Emmy Rossum understands why "chicks dig" rumored boyfriend Adam Duritz.

The 23-year-old actress has refused to confirm she is dating the Counting Crows star, but can see why women would be attracted to him.

She said: "I really can't say whether I'm with him or not. But I get why chicks dig him. He's extremely kind, incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, creative and respectful."

Emmy - who is in the process of divorcing music executive Justin Siegel, who she secretly married two years ago - avoids talking about her private relationships as she doesn't like playing them out in public.

She explained: "I don't discuss my love life because it's always misinterpreted or put under the microscope. It's especially annoying when you're dating someone else who's well-known, which is why I normally would never go out with a famous guy.

"Let's put it this way, I'd be flattered if someone hit on me, but I really can't say if I'm available or not."

Emmy sparked rumors she was dating the 45-year-old musician after they were spotted dining at New York's Dos Caminos eatery together.

Last month, she joined Adam on stage at New York's 'Feel Free' concert for a rendition of 'Going Back to Georgia'.
