Bethenny Frankel makes vulnerable dating ‘confession’

Bethenny Frankel is “afraid to date.”

The “Real Housewives of New York City” alum took to TikTok over the weekend to make the vulnerable “confession.”

In the selfie-style video, Frankel clarified that she’s not “actually actively afraid” but rather “hesitant,” likening the situation to the trauma from 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,” she explained.

“That’s how I am after all of these months of not dating at all.”

The 54-year-old 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.
