Tinchy Stryder doesn't use chat-up lines

Tinchy Stryder wouldn't ever romance one of his fans.

The rapper, 22, says things wouldn't feel equal. 

'I like direct, down to earth, funny girls and I think if I dated a fan she wouldn't have her own opinions,' Tinchy tells Now.

'Everything I'd say would be right and I wouldn't like that. She'd have to be the whole package: looks and personality.'

Tinchy, real name Kwasi Danquah, admits he can be quite confident when starting relationships. 

'I don't use chat-up lines,' he says.

'I think they're for people who aren't sure of themselves when they speak to girls.

'I just like to be me and hope for the best.'
