Mollie King admits she’s never had a one-night stand or sex on a first date. Speaking exclusively to Cosmopolitan The Saturdays star states:
“I’ve never had a one-night stand or sex on the first date, and I don’t think I ever would. It’s important for a guy to know and understand me before he can even think about taking things to the next step.”
Refreshingly honest about the ups and downs of being single, Mollie reveals she’s in no rush to find a man:
“I’m enjoying being single and I’m definitely not gagging to be in another relationship. When I go out, I’m not going out to find a man; I’m going out to dance the night away with my best friends.”
“The positives [of being single] are huge. I’ve learnt a lot about myself – small things like learning to live by myself and take care of myself. I love that I don’t rely on anyone else or need to lean on anyone else; I can just do things on my own… Being single has definitely given me a new lease of life.”
Despite enjoying single life, she admits heartbreak is the hardest thing:
“Having your heart broken is hard at the best of times, but being in the public eye has definitely made it harder for me… The point is, you don’t want your ex to read how you’re feeling – or vice versa.”
“I’ve had my heart broken and it’s the hardest thing. Everyone says, ‘Give it time, you’ll feel better in the morning.’ But you don’t. You feel like it’s never, ever going to heal – especially during the first few weeks… It isn’t any less if you do the dumping… For me it’s always been like, ‘Have I done the right thing? Have I made the right decision?’ You start to doubt yourself, because you still miss that person. It’s like a habit that’s been taken away from you, and you feel lost.”
The full interview appears in the March 2013 issue of Cosmopolitan, on sale 31st January.
