" \n Q. On the show, Carrie&amp;#039;s dad forbids her to date Sebastian. Is that asking for trouble? A. For sure! That&amp;#039;s the one you&amp;#039;ll always want, because you&amp;#039;re not allowed to have him. It creates a very tumultuous headspace. Q. Things blow up between Carrie and Sebastian because she snoops to find out about his past. Where should you draw the line when it comes to checking up on someone? It&amp;#039;s so easy nowadays. A. As soon as you start feeling like you can&amp;#039;t trust the person and you need to check his phone or have his Facebook password or look through his messages\u2014as soon as that trust barrier is broken\u2014it&amp;#039;s hard to keep a relationship going after that. That&amp;#039;s one thing my dad taught me, because he&amp;#039;d been cheated on once and he always had this sick feeling in his stomach that she would do it again. You have to be able to trust that that person is going to come home to you. Q. You&amp;#039;ve been dating Vanessa Hudgens for more than a year. What qualities do you like in a girlfriend? A. Someone who is selfless in nature and cares about others\u2014that&amp;#039;s such a huge thing for me. How someone treats a waiter or doorman can tell you so much about a person. And I&amp;#039;m attracted to someone who is a hard worker and is passionate about what they do.  Q. You tweet a lot of inspirational quotes and messages. Have you always had such a positive outlook? A. I went through a period when I was rebellious and a mess of a person. I&amp;#039;d swing from happy to depressed, and I realized the patterns of my mental state were contingent on the feelings I was allowing in my head. Depression and anxiety can&amp;#039;t fit in your head if you&amp;#039;re cultivating feelings of joy and inspiration. So now every morning, I go for a walk and list all the things I&amp;#039;m grateful for. It makes me so happy. Catch cutie Austin on The Carrie Diaries, Mondays at 8 p.m. on The CW.
