Aug. 18 2012, Published 5:53 a.m. ET
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who stars in the upcoming action flick, Premium Rush, opened up to Playboy about love and dating. And while we're not sure we agree that he and his 500 Days of Summer co-star Zooey Deschanel wouldn't make a good couple, we do love his stance on dating checklists.

"You just have to pay attention, keep your eyes open, listen to people and be present. I guess what I look for in a girl is someone who’s doing that too," Joseph says. "Making checklists of things you’re looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you’ll be alone forever.”
Bravo, Joseph! We agree!

On Zooey, he tells the mag that it's "awkward" when people say they should date in real life. "Zooey and I just think it’s funny. We’ve been friends for 10 years. She loves movies, music and art, and she’s incredibly knowledgeable about that stuff. She’s turned me on to so many good movies and so much good music. It’s just fun to have conversations, watch movies with her and stuff like that.”
