Drew Barrymore Says Dangerous Dates Can Be ‘Superior’

If there’s one factor I’ve realized this yr, it’s that Drew Barrymore may be essentially the most optimistic celeb. The host of the relentlessly foolish and upbeat Drew Barrymore Show can usually be seen frolicking in the rain or crying at the fantastic thing about newly uncovered home windows. There’s principally nothing she will’t put a constructive spin on, even unhealthy dates.

Just some months after proudly revealing that she hadn’t had an “intimate relationship” since her 2016 break up from Will Kopelman — no, she’s not unhappy about it — Barrymore has introduced that she’s going again into the relationship world. “I hibernate like a bear in my relationship life. I’ll flip off the app,” she defined in a brand new interview with Entertainment Tonight. “You’ve gotten on and off seasons. I really feel like I’m having an on season.” Her relationship season goes properly up to now. She’s apparently gone on a number of dates with one man who has her feeling “hopeful.” It is a uncommon prevalence, because the actor says she’s at all times turned off by males’s “conduct” on first dates. “Normally it’s one and carried out, as a result of I see their conduct and I’m like, ‘That is nonnegotiable. This isn’t a match.’”

However, regardless of having gone on many disappointing first dates, Barrymore doesn’t consider them as horror tales, however as “humorous” and “superior.” I’ll let her clarify. “It makes for an important essay or girlfriend fodder over cocktails or no matter you’re into,” she stated, earlier than returning to her trademark optimism. “All the time keep hopeful. By no means grow to be cynical and jaded actually about something, however particularly relationship.”

Which may sound simple to say while you’re Drew Barrymore, however for what it’s value, she’s spoken about being demoralized by the merciless world of relationship apps earlier than. A yr in the past, she talked about that she didn’t get any matches on dating apps. “Nobody has related with me,” she advised her Drew Barrymore Present viewers on the time. “It makes me really feel like such a loser.” I assume if she will proceed relationship after that, there should be hope for the remainder of us.
