London, Nov 7 (IANS) Actress Emma Watson, who is single right now, says she wants to be in love but men neither ask her out nor she gets marriage proposals.

‘It’s time I got more naughty. Three months ago I cut my hair and at that moment I felt I became a woman. I’m ready to start taking risks,’ thesun.co.uk quoted Watson as saying.

The 20-year-old, known for her role as Hermione Granger in the hit ‘Harry Potter’ franchise, says men rarely ask her for a date.

‘I’m very romantic and, of course, I want to be in love. I’ve been in love once in my life, but it was complicated. I can’t tell you who it was because it wouldn’t be fair… But I can say I’ve never had my heart broken.’

‘I like men with quick wit, good conversation and a great sense of humour. I love banter. I want a man to like me for me. I want him to be authentic. But men don’t really ask me out. And I don’t get marriage proposals any more either. It’s not happening there,’ she added.

But is she ready to mingle?

‘At the moment I’m just happy to be single. I want to live life to the full. But I’m more grown up and confident now. I’m ready to take more risks. I feel less girlish than ever.’

Watson was only nine when she was cast to play Hermione Granger in the film adaptations of JK Rowling’s hugely successful Harry Potter books.
