Julianne Hough: I Thought Seacrest Was Gay!

There's a reason it took Ryan Seacrest such a long time to score a date with his new girlfriend Julianne Hough -- she thought she lacked the proper equipment ... genitally speaking.

Our spies in North Carolina tell us Hough was in town for her birthday dinner at a Morton's steak house the other night with a bunch of friends ... and at one point during the meal, she was asked, "How did you and Ryan get together?"

Julianne responded, "He was after me since I was 18 ... he totally wasn't my type ... I thought he was gay."

But Hough continued, "After a few years, he was persistent ... so I went out with him on a date and I realized how much I liked him."

We're told Ryan and Julianne have been together for a couple of months.

Seacrest ... out?

"He was after me since I was 18" umm that is sick. What's with all these rich hollywood men wanting teenage girlfriends and the dudes are in their 40s or 50s or 60s! SICK!

She's not dumb...she knows he can move her career forward.
She probably is already planning her exit strategy.
