Young women hoping to snag Olympic heartthrob Ryan Lochte as a boyfriend may be out of luck, said Today.com. The 28-year-old swimming champion’s mom, Ike Lochte, said that her son is definitely not in the market for a long-term girlfriend. “[He] takes out a girl for one or two dates,” she said. “He’s not able to commit fully to a relationship because he’s always on the go.” Ryan did, however, reveal his pickup techniques to Women’s Health. “Make eye contact. Some guys keep staring, but I’ll give a wink and come back later,” said the gold medalist. “It keeps her thinking.”
