Taylor Swift’s Say on Love: “I Don’t Think It Through Much”

Taylor Swift’s Say on Love: “I Don’t Think It Through”

Saying those three little words has never been a problem to Taylor Swift.

In the November 25 issue of Parade, the 22-year-old "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer, who split with high school senior Conor Kennedy, 18, in late October, opens up about her much-talked about love life.

"I don't think there's an option for me to fall in love slowly, or at medium speed. I either do or I don't. I don't think it through, really, which is a good and a bad thing," Swift admits.

"You don't look before you leap, which is like, 'Yay, this is awesome! Let's not think twice!' And then you're like, 'We used to be flying. Now we're falling. What's happening?'"

Swift, who has written breakup songs about everyone from Taylor Lautner to Joe Jonas, says she isn't sure she's ever been in love. "I tend to think things are love and then look back and reevaluate," she explains.

"I know how many people I've said 'I love you to' to. I could probably count it up, but I don't feel like it. Part of me feels like you can't say you were truly in love if it didn't last. If I end up getting married and having kids, that's when I'll know it's real -- because it lasted."

Settling down, at least, isn't Swift's top priority right now. "People think I want to get married really young -- I don't know why," says the singer, currently flirting with One Direction's Harry Styles, 18. "I'm a romantic person, but that doesn't mean I want to miss out on being in my young 20s."
