Von Teese 'left speechless' by men

Dita Von Teese has revealed that she is often left speechless in the company of attractive men.

The burlesque star said she finds it difficult to talk to men she likes because of her shyness.

"I don't claim to be a good judge of character in relationships. I get so nervous when I'm attracted to someone that I can't talk. I'm so scared of rejection - I'm not good around boys," said Von Teese, who divorced rocker Marilyn Manson last year.

The 35-year-old said she is enjoying being single but has no regrets about her one-year marriage.

'I'm single for the first time now, and allowing men to bring me a lot of pleasure. Whenever I'm in a relationship, I'm blind to everyone else in the world, and all the chapters in my life are defined by my relationships," she said.

"With my marriage, I believe that everything happened for a reason, and I don't think I had the power to change anything. I did my very best."
