She may have been single since splitting from husband David Arquette, but Courteney Cox still isn't quite ready to find herself a new man.

The 47-year-old actress, whose marriage ended in October 2010, revealed during an interview with Anderson Cooper that she doesn't like going out, and is struggling in the 'difficult' world of dating.

She explained: It's hard. 'I'm a homebody- I don't really like to go out. I love restaurants, I love to have people over to my house.

'But I'm not really one to do a lot of stuff - so I don't know how that all that happens... that part's a little difficult.'

Courteney also took the opportunity once again to insist that she's still good friends with her former Scream co-star David, adding that she is more than happy that he has moved on in his life with new girlfriend Christina McLarty.

She said: 'I probably caught up to this whole situation later than he did. And, I am really happy for him and he's got a girlfriend.

'Everything's great, I know it seems so weird, it's even weird for me to say that.'

The former Friends also said she hopes to remain close to her estranged husband in the future due to their special connection, and their seven-year-old daughter Coco.

She said: 'He's kind of all over the place, I'm much more grounded. We need each other. I don't know, I hope that never changes we have Coco. We do, we love each other.'

Courteney also displayed her odd eating habits during the television interview, drinking a bowl of rand dressing.

It all started when Cooper told her he ordered for a bowl of the dipping sauce, along with some vegetables to dip them in, after hearing she was obsessed with it.

She then picked up a piece of cucumber and sampled it, and enjoyed it so much she ended up gulping from the bowl when the cameras stopped rolling, much to Anderson's shock and amusement.



After trying it she told him, 'Oh my God, that's good ranch dressing,' before explaining she is an connoisseur of the dinner time favourite.

The Masters of the Universe star said: 'Everything's better. But people mistake ranch dressing.

'Like when you go into a restaurant and you say, "Do you have ranch?' and they go, 'Yes we do, it's homemade." I'm like, "wrong answer." I want Hidden Valley.'
