To me, Irina Shayk is refreshingly straight-forward. Maybe it’s a Russian thing, but she doesn’t seem to have secret motives or some hidden agenda. What you see is what you get and she doesn’t appear to play games. She’s not coy, she doesn’t play hard to get. She sees an interesting guy, she brazenly flirts with him. She gets asked to fly out for a date, she’s on the plane. She’s also pretty straight-forward with how she approaches her media and PR – oftentimes, I get the sense that Irina is just calling up some People Magazine editor, telling the person how she’s feeling about this or that, and that’s it. Well, I think that’s what happened here. People Mag wanted an update so Irina gave them an update – she considers Tom Brady to be her “dream guy.”

Tom Brady and Irina Shayk’s romance is going strong. Shayk, 37, is “impressed with Tom,” a source tells PEOPLE, adding, “He is her dream guy. She loves dating him.”

As the summer winds down, the romance between the former NFL quarterback, 46, and the model is seemingly heating up.

“They work around their schedules and meet up wherever they can,” the source tells PEOPLE. “Irina doesn’t mind traveling to see him. She is very excited about their relationship.”

Last week, the couple were spotted together at a boutique London hotel. Brady and Shayk spent two days together at Twenty Two Hotel in London’s Mayfair area before leaving the hotel separately last Tuesday, with the retired athlete photographed leaving through a side entrance at 7:20 a.m., and Shayk departing from a different side entrance five minutes earlier.

Only a beautiful Russian model could come on this strong and not scare a guy away. But I get it – I’d love it if more celebrities would approach relationships this way. I wish more regular people would too. Irina is like, yes, I adore him, he is my dream guy, I will fly anywhere he wants. Are her girlfriends like “honey, you should play hard to get” and Irina is like “no, don’t play hard to get with a man who is hard to get?”
