Earlier this week, we talked about how Taylor Swift finally met her true and virtuous soulmate, Broncos QB and uber-Christian Tim Tebow. They met at a pre-Oscars party in which Tebow was surrounded by girls. When Swifty made a beeline for him, they ended up in conversation for an hour. Then, two nights later, A DATE!!! Sort of. Sources claim that their respective managers were also on the “date” – perhaps as chaperons? Because they’re both so virtuous! Anyway, it’s so predictable – Us Weekly is now reporting that Swifty has a “puppy dog” crush on Tebow. Oh, girl. You know you’re just going to be writing songs about how he dumped you over the phone.

Holy hookup! Taylor Swift would love to end her dating dry spell with the sports world’s most eligible — and virginal! — star.

The famously unlucky-in-love singer, 22, was spotted having dinner with Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow and three other pals at a Feb. 24 pre-Oscars bash hosted by WME at Toscanova in L.A.

An observer tells Us Weekly that the “Mean” singer looked upon the famously pious, abstinent NFL star “like a little puppy dog” at Tosconova. During the meal, Swift just sipped on a caffe latte during the two-hour meal, but Tebow tucked into chicken paillard, fettuccine bolognese and cappellini.

“There were no public displays of affection between Taylor and Tim,” the observe says, “but she surely looked happy to be there!”

“Yes, she has a crush on him,” a second source explains to Us. “She is a massive fan, but I don’t think he sees her that way.”

Still, the goody-goody twosome have struck up a friendship. “They actually have been speaking a lot about the Bible and Christianity . . .Right now it’s on the friendship tip – even though that frustrates her.”

After high-profile romantic flameouts with the likes of Joe Jonas (in 2009) and Jake Gyllenhaal (in 2010), Swift’s love life has been super-quiet of late. Last Valentine’s Day?

“I actually had a Pathetic Single Girls party,” she said recently. “We ate junk food and just ate whatever we wanted and danced. We made these little profile cards about why we’re single.”

She’s 22 years old – not a girl, not yet a woman? Or is she a woman who acts like a girl as part of her image? While Swifty’s vibe is virginal, let’s also remember that she got on John Mayer’s KKK dong. Just let your mind wander on that one. Now, I don’t know if she’s actually had p-in-the-v sex since Mayer. The road from Mayer to Tebow is littered with fallen beards, but if you believe that Jake Gyllenhaal likes vadge, then there are reports that indicate that Jake and Taylor’s cuddlefesting sometimes turned into more (or at least affectionate sleepovers). What’s my point with all of this sex talk? My point: can Swifty keep her knees together while dating Tim Tebow? Or will she and Tebow end up in the “friend zone” and just be nonsexual buddies?

While I know that Swifty and Tebow make sense on paper, I’d still like her to find some guy who is her own age, who has a job, who likes sex, who will hold her hand and who is still “nice.” I’m still pushing for Swifty and Bruno Mars.
