The boys of One Direction are incredibly busy, but they still want love lives. A new report reveals the unusual way the boys decide who’s a good fit for them, and you’ll never believe it. Read on to find out!

The love lives of the boys in One Direction are highly scrutinized. It just comes with the territory of being one of the biggest music groups in the world. But how does a member of one of the biggest music groups find the perfect girl to date? According to a new report: Twitter.

In a new article in Heat, a magazine from the U.K., Niall Horan‘s brother Greg says that the boys use a girl’s Twitter feed to help determine if she’s serious dating material! “They test out girls to make sure they are trustworthy,” Greg tells the magazine. “[Niall] will follow you on Twitter for a while and suss you out, make sure you’re genuine and have you out – then go for it.”

Why do the boys use Twitter for help? It saves them time, Greg says! “[Niall] has a lot of female friends that he goes out with, but he’s not going to start seeing them seriously because he doesn’t have the time.”

He also adds advice for any girls hoping to be Niall’s future girlfriend: “…Watch what you’re saying on Twitter. Make sure you’re coming across as genuine.”
