Rising pop superstar Demi Lovato is ready for "something serious" according to friends. After high profile relationships with Joe Jonas (@joejonas) and Wilmer Valderrama (@WValerrama), the 19 year old has made attempts to keep her dating life private. But, that doesn't mean she hasn't been looking.

As recently as this week, she has been romantically linked to businessman Jai Manselle (@JaiManselle). The 6'5 entrepreneur and the pop princess were spotted together on several occasions and a source close to Lovato says that the singer has "strong feelings" for Manselle but as of right now the two are not a couple.

"The smartest thing a woman can ever learn is to never need a man,” says Lovato who has also spurned rumors that she is getting back together with ex-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama. Valderrama and Lovato have dated on and off for years now and can occasionally be seen flirting on social networking site Twitter.

“They really have always liked each other, still have tons of respect for each other, and are still in love” a source told Hollywoodlife.com (@HollywoodLife) about Lovato’s relationship with Valderrama. However, she won’t be waiting forever and she is ready to settle down with someone.

The source added that rumors of a relationship between Demi Lovato and One Direction’s Nial Horan (@NiallOfficial) are “completely false.”
Demi Lovato’s forth studio album will be released in 2013.
