Ryan and the Red Riding Hood star have been photographed together, so when Ryan stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the host knew she had to ask him about it.

"I'm dating. Not nearly as voraciously as the magazines like to make out, but I am dating," Ryan said (via Huffington Post).

So what kind of a girl does he like? Maybe one who wears a red hood?

"Well, that helps," Ryan said.

But seriously, Ryan said, “A sense of humor. I like a strong woman. I have three sisters and I have a daughter and I like individuality. I like a woman who’s self-possessed. Who knows who she is. Who knows what she wants…"
