The weather may be cooling down, but the romance is heating up for Zac Efron.

After a brief summer fling with Michelle Rodriguez, it seems the We Are Your Friends star has nabbed himself a new lady in Sami Miro. They've been spotted out numerous times in the last month.

The pair was first snapped together taking in a Dodgers game on Sept. 22. Just a few weeks later, Zac and Sami reportedly hit up FoodLab in Los Angeles, where he (gasp!) referred to her as his "girlfriend." In case that isn't enough evidence of their relationship, the couple then jetted of to Copenhagen, Denmark, where (among other things) they enjoyed a meal at local hotspot Noma.

And Efron just couldn't contain his excitement over sharing the dining experience with Miro. He took to his Instagram to post a stunning black-and-white shot of himself and Sami in front of the restaurant. "Thx to @ReneRedzepiNoma and team @Nomacph. You've created a sophisticated, one of a kind culinary experience I'll never forget. You rock!" he captioned the pic.

So who exactly is this woman who's become so close to the High School Musical heartthrob so quickly? Here's all you need to know about the kind of girl you need to be to win Zac Efron's heart (or get to go on a European vacation with him, at least).

1. She's educated.
Miro attended Santa Clara University where she majored in Marketing; however, her formal education didn't end there. After earning her B.A., she went on to earn a master's in Global Entrepreneurship and Management at the University of San Francisco.

2. She's athletic.
In 2000, Sami was the Junior Olympic Gymnastics State Champion. We don't know if she can still do the splits, but something tells us she's still good and flexible.

3. She's cultured.
In addition to her academic work, she gained exposure to different cultures during her masters program, living and working in Spain and Taiwan. What's more, she speaks French and lists vintage fashion, hot yoga, travel, and foodie festivities among her interests.

4. She's employed — but not as an actress.
Unlike others Zac has been tied to in the past, Sami has had a more traditional career. According to her LinkedIn profile, she currently works at Demand Media, a company that "connects brands with people and people with brands." As Miro describes it, her role is to build and manage relationships with strategic accounts. Prior to that, she spent more than four years in market and product training at the headphone company, Sol Republic. In other words, she's a businesswoman.

5. She's not camera-shy.
But just because she's comfortable in the corporate world, doesn't mean she's not comfortable in front of the camera — in fact, she embraces it. Her Instagram is almost exclusively populated with shots of herself looking drop-dead gorgeous. Her pictures are so stunning, in fact, that it's easy to infer that she might model on the side.

6. She has creative aspirations.
It seems her aspirations might lean more toward styling the models than actually being one (though she could clearly do both). On both her Twitter and Instagram profiles, she calls out her vintage curation and wardrobe styling skills, and next to some of the professional-looking photographs, she reveals that she not only modeled, but styled as well. "Had so much fun with @arisjeromephoto today," she gushed alongside a dramatic fashion shot. "Styled by moi #arisjerome." (See? She does speak French!)
