Carly Rae Jepsen has admitted that the idea of giving her number to men is "terrifying" to her.

Jepsen is currently riding high in the UK singles chart at the moment with her track 'Call Me Maybe' - but speaking to MTV News, the Canadian Idol star revealed that she has never actually done what the song's lyrics suggests.

The track focuses on the idea of giving a random person your number - but that concept is alien to Jepsen, it seems. She said:

"I'm going to be honest, I've never actually given a guy my number before 'cause I find the concept terrifying. Which is kind of where the song sparked from, the idea of why this is so scary. It should be OK."

Jepsen did however open up on one time she kissed a man and then left - however, they actually ended up dating for a month. She said: "I don't know what came over me - sometimes I just do things to scare myself. But there was a guy and I just went up to him and said hello, and he said hello and I'm like, 'Alright, well, I'm leaving now and it was really nice to meet you,' and I kissed him and then I left. Actually, it was a little bit of a romantic story. I was playing at the bar down the street and I put posters up in my neighborhood and he saw and he came to the bar and we ended up dating for month."
