Los Angeles, Sep 16 : Actress Cameron Diaz has talked of the virtues of "hardballing" during a sit-down chat with Drew Barrymore and Ross Matthews.During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Matthews said: "I have a girlfriend who kept saying, These guys keep leaving me, they keep leaving me, (and), I go, Well, what are the first dates like?"She said, Well I ask them if they want kids.

Girl, what are you doing on date one? You dont ask if you want kids, you ask if you like pizza or the colour blue."Diaz replied by calling Matthews friend a "natural hardballer", meaning someone who is clear about their expectations from the outset, reports femalefirst.co.uk.The actress added: "She is like, This is what I want, are you in? So, she shouldnt be looking at it that they are leaving her, she should be going, You know what, you dont add up to me, youre not at my place, but thats okay.""Then you at least know that we are not in the same place.

And I think thats what dating is all about."Matthews agreed with Diazs dating advice, saying that its important to "know what you want".
