Leighton Meester is everywhere these days.

Whether she's on Gossip Girl, singing in Country Strong (watch clips from the movie) or dishing on her life and love philosophies in Allure, the actress is making her mark.

Now she's February's Seventeen cover girl ...

”I think that the importance of love is really strong for me in my life, whether it’s a guy or a friend or just my puppy," the 24-year-old tells the magazine.

"I think love changes you over time.

"Whether you have good or bad experiences, you always grow and learn from it. I want a family someday. I know that I have to let love in to create that and I think there is somebody out there for me, but I’m not on some crazy hunt for that right now.”

You still have time, guys. Just be ready.
