AceShowbiz - Rosario Dawson opens up about her teenage years in an interview with Cosmopolitan for Latinas for its September issue. She tells the magazine, "I was an awkward teenager. I went stag to my prom. I was dating one guy in elementary school who made me hold hands at recess, and then he broke up with me to go with a girl who would make out."
The "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" actress continues, "I was a virgin until I was 20 years old! My mother was raising five kids on her own, I wasn't just going to sit back and be a horny teenager and continue some cycle of teenage pregnancy - I wanted more opportunities; I wanted to be the first person in my family to go to college."
However, Rosario reveals at the end she "didn't go to college." She adds, "I took a civil engineering course at Columbia University but that was while I was still in high school. It didn't go beyond that."
The "Cesar Chavez" actress says she was 15 when she was asked to be in movie "Kids". She recalls, "I was nervous because I was, like, surrounded by starving artists who all had regular jobs because they couldn't live off their art. I asked myself, 'Why would you go down that path?' At the same time, I saw what it did to my mom. It killed her not to be a singer."
Talking about her love life, Rosario claims, "I'm a touch person, I love intimacy ... I love men!I would love to fall deeply in love with someone, but at the same time it's not my everything."
When asked about the important things in relationships, she replies, "For me, it's about forethought. For my 25th birthday, my then-boyfriend prepared a beautiful bath for me. He put flowers and a bunch of little candles everywhere. He was crazy busy, and he knew I loved a great bath! I remember it was so small but it was so special to me because he thought it through."
