The 28-year-old Canadian singer insists she has never chased a guy after taking her mother's advice that men should do the chasing.

'My mother always taught me that. There was a rule in our house, no calling guys, I wasn't allowed to call guys, they had to call me. Men like a chase.'

Luckily for Avril her approach won over Nickleback rocker Chad Kroeger, who she got engaged to last August.

The 'Here's To Never Growing Up' hitmaker told 'Access Hollywood Live' on Wednesday : 'I don't run after guys so he did it.'

Avril can't wait to marry Chad, who is ten years older than her. She explained: 'Believe it or not, I actually said before we started dating, "I want to date someone who is 10 years older than me," and he's exactly 10 years older than me and it's nice.'

'He's got it together, he's mature, he's done his thing, he's lived life. He's been around the world on tour, I've been around the world on tour. We can really relate with a lot of things and we just bonded over music and song-writing, we have a lot in common.'

The blonde beauty also revealed her family is smitten with her fiance. She said: 'Everybody loves him. He's very charismatic, he's outgoing, he's not shy at all. It's really awesome because he's supportive. He understands exactly what's I'm doing.'
