If you have a total crush on Ricardo Hurtado, well, first of all — welcome to the club! And second — you’re in luck because the School of Rock actor spilled exclusively to J-14 all about what he looks for in a relationship. From how to catch his eye to his absolute dream date, the 19-year-old truly didn’t hold back when it came to dishing on his love life.

MAKE EYE CONTACT!

The quickest way to intrigue the Malibu Rescue star is to catch his eye … literally! “One of the first things that makes me interested in a girl is her confidence to make eye contact with me,” he told us. “If I find you attractive and you keep looking at me, I’ll go out of my way to talk to you.”

SHOW YOUR SWEET SIDE!

Ricardo admitted that one of his dating deal breakers is a girl who is cocky and entitled. For him, kindness goes a long way! “I’m a sucker for a sweetie pie,” he said.

HAVE FUN WITH FITNESS!

Who says working out is boring? Not this guy! “I love fitness, so a girl who is into fitness and will work out with me would be really cool,” Ricardo revealed/

SKIP THE TEXTS!

It’s easier to get to know the real Ricardo while hanging out face-to-face rather than through text. “I prefer to talk to my crush in person so they can see my charming and gentleman-like personality to its fullest extent,” he smiled.

HEAD OUTSIDE!

Ricardo is all about outdoor dates. “The perfect summer date would start with a brunch in Malibu, followed by a day on the beach,” he described. “As the night continues, I’d treat my lady to a lovely steak dinner, and then we’d watch a scary movie at a drive-in movie theater. Afterwards, we’d make a bonfire on the beach where we’d make s’mores and I’d serenade her. Lastly, I’d drive her home and give her a kiss goodnight.”

Ugh, we’re swooning! Check out Ricardo in Netflix’s Malibu Rescue movie on May 13 and series on June 3.
