"Katie Cassidy had no intention of dating another actor, but Entourage alum Jerry Ferrara was able to change her mind.\r\n&amp;quot;She wasn&amp;apos;t sure at first,&amp;quot; a pal of the former Gossip Girl actress recently told Us Weekly. &amp;quot;He kept asking her out, and she finally said yes. Now she&amp;apos;s so happy she did!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe couple of five months were spotted holding hands on August 12 in Vancouver, where Cassidy is filming the new CW series Arrow with Stephen Amell and Willa Holland. After a flirty lunch at the Mill, they strolled along the harbor and kissed at a crosswalk, says an eyewitness. &amp;quot;He makes her laugh,&amp;quot; a source says.\r\n\r\nFerrara -- who split with Jamie-Lynn Sigler in 2009 -- hasn&amp;apos;t just won over Cassidy, according to her pal: &amp;quot;He&amp;apos;s won over her friends and family!&amp;quot;\r\nPrior to dating Ferrara, Cassidy romanced singer/actor Jesse McCartney, 25, and Los Angeles Kings player Jarret Stoll, 30. Arrow premieres October 10 at 8 p.m. EST on The CW."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
