DANIEL Radcliffe still gets nervous when it comes to taking a woman out on a date!

The actor — who was recently rumored to be romance 19-year-old Olive Uniacke — says he doesn’t feel comfortable wining and dining members of the opposite sex.

“It’s quite nerve-racking because it’s not something I’m used to,” Radcliffe tells the new issue of Out magazine. “Not that I struggle with talking, but I have this incredible anxiety about awkward silences and pauses and all that stuff, which I think everybody worries about.

“But I get quite wound up about that beforehand. I do actually manage to get quite chatty in the end — probably too much — and probably a bit boring. I just try to make girls laugh. That’s really the only thing I’m particularly good at on dates.”

Radcliffe says people often think he’s exactly like Harry Potter.

“It’s strange,” he said. “I think it’s a mixture of people who actually do, in some way, think I am Harry Potter and a number of people who can’t be bothered to know my name, which is fair enough.

“I mean, when you’ve been so identified with one character for so long, it’s natural that it should almost become an alias. But I’ve been encouraged lately to find that people are using my real name more often.”
