Gerard Butler refuses to follow dating rules.
The Ugly Truth star disregards the expected romantic etiquette that women want and believes that’s why he’s still single.
“I would want a woman to call me if I hadn’t called her,” he said. “If I don’t call it’s because I’m busy. But this is why I’m single. But there is also the element that the second you think a girl is maybe not quite as keen, there is a little more interest in the situation.
“Sometimes, when it’s there right in front of you, it’s not as interesting.”

Gerard Butler's going to be playing the field in Playing the Field (also known as Slide and Confessions of a Little League Coach), a sports-oriented romantic comedy set to begin filming in March, so says Deadline. Seven Pounds (definitely not a rom-com) director Gabriele Muccino is helming the project from a script by Robbie Fox (So I Married an Axe Murderer).
Butler's also producing the film through his Evil Twins company. Nu Image/Millennium is backing Playing the Field and is aiming for a March 2011 start date.

Born in Paisley, Scotland, to Margaret and Edward Butler, Gerard Butler was raised along with his older brother and sister in his hometown of Paisley, Scotland. He also spent some of his youth in Canada. His parents divorced when he was a child, and he and his siblings were raised primarily by their mother, who later remarried.
film debut was as Billy Connolly's younger brother in "Mrs. Brown (1997)". His film career continued with small roles, first in the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) and then Russell Mulcahy's Tale of the Mummy (1998). In 2000, Butler was cast in two breakthrough roles, the first being Attila the Hun in the USA film Attila (2001/I) and Wes Craven's new take on the Dracula legacy - Dracula 2000 (2000).
The role that garnered him most attention from both moviegoers and movie makers alike was that of Andre Marek in the big-screen adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel Timeline (2003). He appeared in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical The Phantom of the Opera (2004), playing the title character in the successful adaptation of the stage musical. It was a role that brought him much international attention. Other projects include Dear Frankie (2004), The Game of Their Lives (2005) and Beowulf & Grendel (2005).
In 2007 he starred as Spartan King Leonidas in the Warner Bros. production 300 (2006), based on the Frank Miller graphic novel, which brought him into the A-list sphere.
