If being his girlfriend is out of reach, then it's the role most females across the globe want instead - being Harry Styles' confidante.
The cheeky One Direction star stepped out with a pretty blonde, reportedly his old school friend Ellis Calcutt.
However, despite earning himself a reputation as somewhat of a ladies man, she insists they are just good friends.
It seems Harry might still be harbouring a soft spot then for Emma Ostilly, an aspiring model he was spied kissing while on tour in New Zealand last week.
Harry and Ellis' body language spoke volumes, although celebrities are often encouraged to keep their distance from love interests so as to avoid media speculation.
At least the 18-year-old didn't have to hide his love for his lavish new Audi R8 Coupe, which he clearly couldn't wait to take for a spin on his return to his parents house in Cheshire.
The pair went for a coffee after Harry showed off his new set of wheels.
And the outing didn't go unnoticed by his fans, who were also spotted leaning forward to try and catch a glimpse of their idol in the driving seat.
Hopefully Ellis won't be the subject of a hate campaign, after Emma was forced to shut down her Twitter page after she became a target by jealous One Direction devotees.
Ellis has already addressed rumours, insisting they are just friends from school who hadn't seen each other in a while.
She wrote online: 'Wow, you people are sooo quick to make up rumours! Me & Harry went for coffee together as we haven’t seen each other since last year!
'We’re only good friends and have been since high school. I have a lovely boyfriend called Phil so you can stop spreading rumours about me and Harry dating each other because we absolutely are not!'
