The 19-year-old country singer, who was dumped by the Jonas brother in favour of some totty he met during a video shoot, has figured out where it all went wrong and has beset herself some guidelines to help her snare "a better boyfriend than her ex":

"I have this rule: I don't call a guy first. And you can't ever send two text messages in a row. If you're like, 'I need to talk to you' all the time, (or) 'Why didn't you call me back?'... If you're that girl, then nobody's going to want to date you... I'm not typically the girl who dates a lot of guys or is in relationships a lot (really?). Most of my life, I've been single (again, really?). If I meet somebody who's great, I’ll make an exception. But I'm really happy being alone. I don't feel a sense of emptiness if I don't have a boyfriend."

Taylor, you're a very attractive girl and you'll surely sprout a personality in no time. I know many (many) men who'd be only delighted to get two texts off you in succession. Joe Jonas was jealous cause you were prettier than him. Now stop speaking and go write some poetry with a view to teaming it with some lonesome country melody. You'll thank me later.
