I have never gone on casual dates: Theron

Charlize Theron has revealed that she has never casually dated anyone but has spent the last 20 years in relationships.

The "Snow White and the Huntsman" star split from boyfriend Stuart Townsend in January 2010 after almost nine years of togetherness, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I've been in serious relationships from the time I was 19 and I'm single for the first time in my life since then. I had to make a real conscious effort to rediscover myself and it's hard. I'm a creature who has really found her comfort in relationships," she said.

"I don't think I've actually been on a date with somebody I didn't know. I've been on dates with my boyfriend of course but I've never really dated," she added.
