Adelehad to re-learn how to date as a famous person.
Speaking withZane Lowefor Apple Music, the “Easy on Me” singer opened up about what it was like to date following her divorce fromSimon Konecki.
“I’ve never been this well-known and been single,” the 33-year-old said in the PEOPLE exclusive clip. “So I was with someone most of19and then I was in the studio. It wasn’t with anyone, but I was in the studio writing about who that album is about. And then straight after21I got with Simon… I just never experienced dating as a grownup really but also everyone knowing who I am and then… I didn’t want to date anyone.”
Lowe asked Adele if her friends recommended she get on dating apps, but she understood that she couldn’t do that given her celebrity.
“What it was, I wasn’t interested in men at all. But what it was was that it’d be like… I was at my friend’s birthday party and people that I had just met in LA since I moved there or whatever, I was always married,” she said. “I was always taken, suddenly were trying to chirp me at the bar. And I’ll be like, ‘Are you flirting with me? Don’t you…’. I’d be like, ‘I’m married.’ I’d be like, ‘No, I don’t want to f—ing go out with you, I’m married.’ "

She continued, “And I wasn’t anymore. It was very, very strange. But oh my God, was sort of that and just being, please don’t let me voluntarily put myself in a f—ing situation that I’m going to regret.”
Adele said she was “grateful” to not have had to date while she was making25.
“I feel like I’ve really gotten away with it. I’ve not had any horrible people come and tell stories about me or anything like that,” she said.
When asked what kinds of rules she has in place for dating, Adele said, “Definitely not stranger danger.”
