Kim Kardashian: 'It's nice to have a man'

Kim Kardashian has insisted that she is happy being single - yet she doesn't rule out the possibility of finding love.

The reality TV star, who recently split from NFL player Miles Austin, told More! magazine that, although she is enjoying her freedom, she misses the excitement that comes with being in a relationship.

"I feel like I don't need a man, but I'm also such a hopeless romantic," Kardashian explained. "I really think that having someone makes everything more entertaining. I don't think you need a guy to make you happy, but it's nice to have one."

The 29-year-old, who has previously been linked to footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and Glee actor Mark Salling, also repeated her insistence that she will attempt to keep details of her romantic life private in the future.

"I'm dating, or I'm trying to. I just want to keep it a bit quieter and more private than previous relationships.

"I would just take falling in love a bit slower these days. And I've got so much more going on - being single means I can concentrate more on myself."
