Selena Gomez Talks About Dating Justin Bieber

Selena gave an interview about dating Justin, where she revealed with how she deals with the scrutiny that comes with being his girlfriend.

“Sure, I knew people would talk about it,” she says to The Observer magazine. “But I can’t be afraid to live my life. I had my first ‘boyfriend’ [Nick Jonas], which wasn’t really a boyfriend, at 14, 15. You’re young and you don’t know how to be. You don’t think: ‘Now I have a boyfriend – let’s keep it super-private and low key,’ because that’s not what you’re thinking about. You’re thinking about: ‘Oh my God, we’re holding hands!’ You’re just thinking about stuff like that. Everybody falls in love and you would never want to hide something you’re so happy about. But I’ve learned a lot. You keep the things that are super-private to yourself. I definitely want to do that now. But it’s so hard.”
