Bethenny Frankel, 54, makes vulnerable dating ‘confession’ after months of being single

It’s like I am so hesitant because you know how like when you get food poisoning, you’re just scared to eat that food again. Even though rationally you know that like you’re likely not going to get food poisoning again from that same food, but you just don’t you can’t bring yourself to do it. And that’s how I am after all of these months of not dating at all. Like I dip my foot in and think I’m going to do it and then start talking to someone and then I run away. I I I’ll just like stop texting or just And it’s not a breadcrumb thing. I’m not a breadcrumbmer. I like stick my foot in the pool and then I’m like it’s too cold. I don’t want to go in. And I’m doing that a lot. So maybe one day that pool will be warm enough and it’ll be a beautiful enough day to like get in. But until that day, I’m not even dipping my toe in anymore.
