Selena Gomez Reveals She's Been Asked On One Date Since Justin Bieber
Selena Gomez is admitting that she is not ready to date.
Gomez, the 21-year-old actress and singer who famously dated singer Justin Bieber for two years, recently revealed that she has only been asked on one date since they split last year.
"Do you know I've been asked out on one date, that's it," she told radio host Zach Sang, according to Hollywoodlife.com. "I'll say what I said to that boy. I said, 'Thank you very much, but I'm not in the place where I want to date right now.'"
Gomez insisted that she is fine being single at the moment.
"I'm very content with how I've been living my life and you know if that comes that comes, but I'm enjoying being single," she said. "I don't believe that because all that stuff just feeds people's minds, saying, 'You'll be fine, you just need to make sure you spend this time doing this, and x amount of time will allow you to do this.' If you fall in love, you fall in love. If you don't you don't."
The singer has readily admitted that it is far from easy dating while in the limelight.
"It's hard to just date in this industry," Gomez said during an E! special hosted by Ryan Seacrest. "You can't really help who you date."
However the singer said she has learned from the experience.
"I was 18 when we started to date. I don't know. You just have to be an 18-year-old and go through everything," she told Seacrest. "I learned that I should definitely be way more private next time."
After breaking their romantic union at the beginning of the year, Gomez spoke about how that affected her.
"I'm sure you could actually see those pictures of me being, like, way stressed out about it," she said in the E! special. "And it's hard, because what do you do? Do you just wanna sit in your house and hide and not go anywhere?"
