Taking a dating break: these 5 stars have all decided to stop dating at least for a little while at one point or another. Some were fresh from a long-term relationship that ended up not working out, others continually had bad dating experiences and some just want some time to focus on their career without the distraction of love. These 5 stars have all taken a step back from the dating world, while some found love the second they decided not to date anymore – it happens! Hopefully their dating hiatus helps them prepare for a whole new happy, healthy relationship.
Demi Lovato
Demi continues to recover from numerous issues since her rehab stint and has promised friends not to think about having a boyfriend for a while so she can keep a clear head: “To be honest, right now there is no crush. I have a pact with my friends right now, literally no boys for X amount of days.”
Serena Williams
Serena was left heartbroken and decided she needed a long time alone: “I have given up on dating. It just hasn’t worked out well for me. The last relationship just was too much of a heartbreak for me. I just can’t go through that anymore. It was hard. I just have to remove myself from that atmosphere for about the next decade or so. I can’t get involved.”
Mischa Barton
Mischa recently said that after a few relationships that didn’t work, she’s taking a break from love: “I’ve given up men. Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be anyone out there for me. My last three boyfriends haven’t worked out, so I’m giving guys a rest for a while. I’m putting all my love, care and attention into my three dogs. Don’t ask why, but they are a good replacement for men in terms of affection.”
Kim Kardashian
After her short marriage to Kris Humphries fell apart, Kim swore off dating. Not long after she was loved-up again with new beau Kanye West: “I’m not dating right now. I don’t really care to. Obviously, I’ve learned that I rush into things when I fall in love and get excited. So maybe I should chill out for a little bit.”
John Mayer
John decided to take a dating break after a few high profile relationships that went badly: “I’m a little freaked out right now about it, to be honest. I’m a little freaked out about dating so I’m just going to let time pass and do my thing. If whoever I date has been famous for a while, I can’t sit around and be like, ‘Please let me live my life in private with this famous person who has been around for 15 years.’ I have to figure out what are the things I asked for and signed up for in terms of cause and effect.”
