Scotty McCreery Hasn’t Had a Girlfriend in “Three or Four Years”

Sweet Scotty tellsPopCrush that he hasn’t had a girlfriend since he was – gasp! – 13 or 14. “I haven’t had a girlfriend in three or four years now, so, I guess you could say I’ve had trouble with girls.” That’s not for lack of offers, however! Scotty says Lauren Alaina’s not the only one who’s gotten proposed to this year.  “I get marriage proposals, prom proposals.“

The Idol Season 10 winner will be headed back to high school this fall after the Idols Live tour ends September 22. “I just want to go back and see people I’ve grown up with and not totally forget about the life I had before this, you know?”

Well, where’s the best place to meet a normal, 17-year-old girl? The classroom! But Scotty’s one true love waits for him at home: baseball. And he’s super excited to return to the field — after assessing tour dates and his promotion schedule, “it’s looking like I might be able to get back for a few games and pitch some.”
