"I'm definitely old-school when it comes to dating", she said in a magazine interview.

"I'm not into the 'game' so much. If I like you, I'll confront you and be open about it. Then I expect you to come after me."

The 'High School Musical' star has previously admitted she loves giving dating advice to people, "I give dating advice on a regular basis. It's not that I'm any expert, but it's always nice to share that with your friends."

Ashley's biggest relationship tip relates to the importance of communication, "Communication is so key. Especially in this business, I'm always travelling and doing something else. So I think communication is the foundation of it all."
