Chris Evans has dog rule for dates

Chris Evans will only date women who like his dog.

The 'Captain America: The First Avenger' actor - who has previously romanced Jessica Biel and Christina Ricci and is currently linked to Dianna Agron - likes to go on unusual first dates, but insists a girl has no chance of romance with him unless she bonds with his beloved mutt East first.

Asked where he would take someone on a date, he said: "I'd see how you got on with my dog, East. He's an American bulldog so he's big. You've got to be able to rough and tumble with him.

"Then we'd go for a walk. It doesn't need to be a hike, I don't want to break a sweat. Or maybe bowling or ice skating. I don't like dinner dates - I'd rather do something on our feet."

As well as looking for a woman who likes his pooch, Chris, 29, is attracted to ladies who "smell good".

He explained: "I love women who smell good. But I don't know how to describe it. Maybe fruity? Is that a description?"

Despite his Hollywood fame, the actor claims he doesn't get much attention from the opposite sex.

He told Cosmopolitan magazine: "If I'm in a club, women are bolder. But if I'm walking down the street then people leave me alone. I don't have any crazy fans."
