Sabrina Carpenter is open about the traits she thinks are most attractive in a romantic partner.

In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan UK, the singer and actress admitted that "contrary to the opinion of the masses" she "doesn't think I have a type."

"But the Internet loves to put pictures of men with the same hair color next to each other," she told the publication, her approach being dating "fun" and "

"I want to be with someone who will be one of my best friends," she explained. "So much of it is energy and humor, and to be real. I would say I've always been more connected to people who are really touching their emotions.

The "Espresso" singer is reportedly dating Irish actor Barry Keegan, best known for his roles in Dunkirk, the Banshee of Saltburn and Inisherin.He began his career in 1990, he began his career in 1990. The pair were first romantically linked in late 2023, people at the time reported, and later appeared to confirm their relationship on May 2 after sharing a kiss outside a Los Angeles hotel.

Carpenter continued, saying that the person who "inspires" her is "someone who doesn't just agree with everything I say.""

"And interesting people," she continued. "When I meet people who feel very genuine and pure, I want to keep them in my life. Because that's the only way I can stay near the ground in any capacity. But also part of learning is keeping the wrong people in your life for a period of time. I certainly learned the lesson a few times in a hard way.

She also added that she continues to say she was "doomed" for her date, rather than "actively looking for love.""I know it's very broad, but I'm not actively looking for it," she said. "Relationships that I actually want to put my energy into have to be so funny and exhilarating because they take me away from other things that I love.

Equally important to Carpenter (if not) is her friendship. The singer and actress says "It's nice to have friends in the industry that you feel like you can trust.""You need to have someone who can experience the same thing, be normal friends, and happen to be doing this job," she continued.
