Chace Crawford Reveals His Perfect Date | Chace Crawford

While ’s Gossip Girl character Nate Archibald may hit all the New York hotspots, in real life the actor plays it cool - especially when it comes to first dates.

“The ideal, I think, when you’re starting out, is something low-key, like playing the %26#91;Nintendo%26#93; Wii, ordering in pizza and then grabbing a beer,” Crawford, 22, told PEOPLE at Wednesday’s launch of the Stoli Hotel in Manhattan.

But come time to step out, the actor says he’d take off “to a concert in Central Park or an NBA basketball game, if she likes sports.” (His teams of choice? “The Dallas Mavericks and the Dallas Cowboys - I’m a Texas kid!”)

“Part of me being single is focusing on my work right now,” says Crawford, who joked, “I’ve been dating my gym bag for a while now.”

When in a relationship, though, the Gossip guy finds himself getting creative in the gift department.

“I like to do artwork and draw,” he says. “I did a big beautiful drawing - and it was very meaningful to %26#91;my girlfriend%26#93;, and she loved it … that’s the kind of stuff that I like to do.”
