Finding love on Tinder, the hookup app that’s definitely not a hookup app, is easy unless your name is Zac Efron. According to the Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates actor, those azure eyes and chiseled abs aren’t helping much in the romance department. He’s claiming that he somehow can’t seem to find a date.

"Dating is something I’ll never be able to do. As in the dictionary definition of dating, because one way or another I’ve impacted that person’s life and they’ll soon realize it. A date has to be very long to dispel whatever people think about me," the 28-year-old told British tabloid the Times.

Since splitting up with girlfriend of two years Sami Miró back in April, it’s been Lonely Hearts Club for Efron. Despite hitting up some online sources, Tinder specifically, he still seems to be striking out with women.

"Amazingly, when I signed up for Tinder, nobody swiped me! They thought it was fake…That never happened," he added.

Perhaps he can confide in his Baywatch co-star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who welcomed a daughter with longtime partner Lauren Hashian this past December. In the meantime, you can catch him running (or falling face-first) on the beach alongside Johnson, Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff when the Baywatch reboot hits theaters next May.
