How to Score a Date with Karolina Kurkova

Too shy to approach a Victoria’s Secret supermodel like Karolina Kurkova? Then you might just have a shot with her! 

Kurkova says she’ll approach a man if he seems too nervous to do it himself. “They want to, but they don’t know how,” Kurkova said at today at the Victoria’s Secret store at L.A.’s Grove mall, where she and Adriana Lima introduced the new BioFit Uplift bra. “I sometimes make the move, and then they’re getting red, and they’ll start sweating, and they’re like, ‘Uh.’ They forget their names. I just think it’s very sweet.”

The 24-year-old Czech beauty realizes she can be intimidating. “I guess sometimes when you’re wearing 12-inch heels and you have your hair down and you have a beautiful dress on, it doesn’t help,” she said. “But I always try just to be like, ‘It’s okay. Don’t worry. I’m still normal. I’m human. I’m like any other girl.’”

But even Kurkova has her bad days, especially when she's working a Victoria's Secret gig. “Trust me, I have many times when I didn’t feel that beautiful,” she said. “You know, when it’s that day of our month and you’re like, ‘I do not want to be in lingerie!' But you just have to somehow put it on and feel good."
