Drew Barrymore Sets Her Priorities Straight
The actress is currently dating, but it’s not her priority. She thinks of it as an activity box that she has to check once in a while.
Barrymore also blames her hectic schedule and lineup of shows, including The Drew Barrymore Show, Drew’s News podcast, and home decor line, as one of the culprits behind her inactive dating life.
Barrymore Loves Being Alone
She continued in her interview with PEOPLE by describing herself as one who loves being alone and spending time with friends rather than meeting someone new. Her kids also take part in her slow dating life as they’re still very young.
We agree that dating while looking after toddlers or teenagers can be very exhausting as they still need regular attention and proper guidance.
What Happens When She Eventually Dates?
The 47-year-old finally reveals the one aspect of dating she doesn’t fancy. If you said the word ghosting, then you’re correct. The actress perfectly describes the concept of ghosting, and we couldn’t agree more.
The star also described the feeling as strange and wondered why anyone would behave that way.
Dating Is A ‘Natural’ Thing To Do
While her celebrity status doesn’t help her much in that aspect of her life, the Blended actress feels dating is a completely natural and human thing to do and always finds an optimistic angle to any date, even the worst ones- admitting she “loves the stories that come out of it.”
“Every once in a while, I’ll go on a date because it’s a very human, natural thing to do,” she says as she thinks it would be unhealthy for a single female to completely discard the idea of
meeting new people and possibly finding love again.
