Real Housewives of New York alum Bethenny Frankel dropped a dating “confession” for her TikTok followers.
Dating trauma:
Bethenny likened dating to getting food poisoning.
“You know how when you get food poisoning, you’re just scared to eat that food again, even though rationally you know that you’re likely not gonna get food poisoning again from that same food?”
“But, you just can’t bring yourself to do it?!”
“Hesitant,” but not afraid:
“That’s how I am after all of these months of not dating at all,” explained Bryn’s mom. The Sports Illustrated runway model admitted that she will hype herself up and “start talking to someone” but ultimately “run away.”
“I’ll just stop texting. It’s not a breadcrumb thing. I’m not a breadcrumber,” she said of the dating approach that involves sporadic acts of attention that don’t often result in a meaningful connection.
Instead, the former Bravolebrity told her followers that she will dip her foot in the pool, find that it’s “too cold,” and then decide she doesn’t “wanna go in.”
“And I’m doing that a lot,” she added. “So maybe one day the pool will be warm, 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,” she vowed.

The TikTok girlies were vibing with B:
- I keep hearing this from sooooo many women from our age range! What is going on with these men??😳🙄
- I’ve been married for 35 yrs. Heading for divorce that is long overdue. Never again will I strap myself to someone. I’d rather be alone.
- food poison analogy. On point. Relatable.
- It’s just not worth it. You’ve been down that rabbit hole. You’re financially secure. Start loving life without a man.
- I’m 60 & haven’t dated in almost 5 yrs. My life if full with my family & friends. It’s not worth the hassle.
