Sam Faiers hasn't been on a "single date" since splitting from Joey Essex.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star has confessed she's been enjoying the single life since breaking up with her ex-fiancé earlier this year but is now looking forward to finding love in the new year.
She said: "To be honest, I've really enjoyed the freedom since me and Joey split up.
"I haven't been on a single date since. But I really want to find a boyfriend in 2015."
However, the blonde beauty - who celebrates her 25th birthday today (31.12.14) - insists she has no interest in joining Tinder or any other online dating sites.
She told new! magazine: "A lot of people I know have met online, but I'm just not brave enough, Plus I hate small talk ... Ideally I want someone low-key, someone not necessarily in the limelight and certainly not on Twitter.
"Social media messes things up in a lot of young relationships."
Sam is hoping to be in a committed relationship by time she's 30-years-old as she wants to follow in her sister Billie's footsteps by starting a family.
She added: "I want babies. I need a boyfriend first.
"At the moment it's fine, I can babysit Nelly [Billie's daughter] and give her back when I want, but I can't wait to have a family of my own."

Brendan O'Carroll regrets not having children with Jennifer Gibney.
The 'Mrs. Brown's Boys' star has children Danny, Fiona and Eric from his previous marriage to Doreen Dowdall but admits there were times when he and his second wife and co-star - whom he married in 2005 - thought about having their own.
He shared: "Jenny doesn't have children. Over the years there have been times when I would get a bit broody and she did too, but she was also step-mum to my children.
"I would have loved to have seen what a baby from me and Jen would be like and we did say, 'Wouldn't it be great to have a baby', because we love kids."
However, the 59-year-old funnyman - who stars as Irish matriarch Agnes Brown alongside Jennifer as his daughter Cathy in the BBC One comedy series - claims they were too busy with work and eventually decided they were happy as they were.
Brendan continued to The Sun newspaper: "But we were still on the road a lot and we couldn't inflict that on a baby. Then what saved our bacon was our first grandson Jamie being born eight years ago. Now Jenny and I have our baby fix through our grandchildren - our youngest grandson Isaac was only born this summer."

Linda Robson will pay tribute to the late Lynda Bellingham in 'Birds of a Feather'.
The 56-year-old actress has confessed she asked bosses of the ITV comedy to give her character Tracey a cancer scare storyline after her former 'Loose Women' colleague lost her battle with colon cancer earlier this year.
Tracey will be seen struggling to show her sister Sharon (Pauline Quirke) and pal Dorien (Lesley Joseph) a growth she finds and the plot is Linda's way of raising awareness of cancer, which also ended her father's life and affected her mother.
She shared: "We were thinking of storylines and what women our age will be facing every day. You get a lump, you worry about everything, you lose somebody and start worrying about things and I think it's important we touched on a health scare in the show."
However, the stars of the show insist the difficult storyline will not prevent some scenes from providing plenty of laughs.
Pauline told The Sun newspaper: "It is a comedy show - we don't want people watching it and slitting their wrists. It's about relationships.
"Sharon is hurt Tracey hasn't confided in her and also Sharon is facing up to the fear of what she would do if anything happened to Tracey."
'Birds of a Feather' continues tomorrow (01.01.14) night at 8.30pm on ITV.

Tina O'Brien doesn't want a "flashy proposal".
The 'Coronation Street' actress has confessed that while she's keen to tie the knot with boyfriend Adam Crofts - with whom she has two-month-old son Beau - she doesn't want him to go over the top when he pops the question.
She said: "I'd love to marry Adam - he's my dream bloke. I want the kids to be part of the ceremony so we'll wait until Beau's walking so he can come down the aisle.
"We're in no rush but it's definitely on the cards. But of course Adam needs to propose first. I'd like something tasteful and intimate. I'd hate to have a flashy proposal."
The 31-year-old star is set to return to the ITV soap as Sarah-Louise Platt in the new year and admits she and her ex-boyfriend and former on-screen husband Ryan Thomas (Jason Grimshaw) - with whom she has six-year-old daughter Scarlett - are on good terms.
She told Closer magazine: "We're lucky that we're getting on so well, because it can be really tough when couples split up, and I think it's important for Scarlett to see her mummy and daddy getting on.
"Ryan will always be her dad and Adam is not trying to take his place anyway - he can be a good role model too."

Katie Hopkins has been accused of committing a hate crime.
The former 'The Apprentice' candidate was reported to the police for being "personally offensive" to size acceptance campaigner Kathryn Szrodecki during filming for her TLC programme 'Katie Hopkins: My Fat Story'.
The incident began when Katie asked Kathryn: "I'm looking at you and I'm making an assessment that it is not healthy to carry that much weight on your knees ... I just don't believe you're healthy in that state."
The outspoken 39-year-old star then turns to another of the women on the panel - whom Katie met with to discuss views on her claim that fat people are "lazy" - and asks why she's as big as she is, to which the woman replies that it's because she eats too much.
At this point Kathryn says: "Do you not realise where you're going with this? This is actually to do with a hate crime."
The outraged woman then steps outside to call the police, saying: "Yes, it became personally offensive and I believe it is a hate crime and I'd like to report it."
However, Katie is left unfazed by the woman's actions after the police fail to show up and she goes on to insist that the panel are simply upset because she's right.
She says: "They're irritated that I have a voice, one of them even threatened to go and call the police, so I told her to go and do that."
Katie went from eight stone and twelve pounds in weight to eleven stone and thirteen pounds and then lost it all again to prove how easy it is to get fit for the documentary, which airs on January 2 and 3 at 9pm on TLC.

Marcus Collins is in talks to star in 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The former 'X Factor' star - who was runner-up to Little Mix in 2011 - is in last-minute negotiations to appear on the programme, which returns to TV next week.
Channel 5 bosses are said to be keen to land Marcus so he can share gossip about both the talent show and its rival 'Strictly Come Dancing', on which his boyfriend Robin Windsor is one of the professional dancers.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Marcus would be a great signing if 'CBB' can make it happen.
"He knows all about what really goes on when you appear on 'The X Factor' and also dates Robin, who is a big name in 'Strictly' circles."
If Marcus does sign up for the show, he could find himself living alongside the likes of East 17's Brian Harvey, US gossip blogger Perez Hilton, controversial former 'Apprentice' star Katie Hopkins, 90s pop hunk Kavana, playboy Calum Best, TV presenter Keith Chegwin and former 'Baywatch' actor Jeremy Jackson.
It was recently revealed Jeremy has signed a huge £100,000 deal to appear on the show.
A source said: "Jeremy brings with him star power from his days on 'Baywatch' but has also had a complicated life since then and is sure to be a fascinating housemate.
The 34-year-old actor is renowned for his troubled personal life after he was arrested in 2000 for manufacturing methamphetamines.
He has also admitted to an addiction to steroids in the past and has been to rehab five times.
The star - who has been clean since 2000 - was also involved in a scuffle with former 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant Jasmine Waltz in July this year after she allegedly hit him over the head with a vodka bottle during a party at Paris Hilton's Malibu home.
The source added: "Jeremy is hoping his criminal past won't affect him going into the house.
"But if there is an issue, bosses have told him they want him for the summer series instead."

Michelle Keegan thinks 2015 will be the best year ever.
The former 'Coronation Street' actress is set to tie the knot with fiance Mark Wright next year and is also excited about her professional commitments.
She said: "It will be the best year! I'm getting married, I've got an amazing Lipsy collection coming out and 'Ordinary Lies' will be on TV in the spring. I play a receptionist called Tracy. Each character has an episode that focuses on how their one lie affects the lives of everyone around them.
"We filmed nine days in the Caribbean recently, it was incredible.
"I have so much to look forward to and consider myself the luckiest girl in the world."
Michelle is excited about her forthcoming wedding but insists she isn't feeling stressed by the preparations - yet.
She said: "It's all sorted and booked. I cannot wait.
"It's all going smoothly and no bridezilla moments yet. Although, ask me a month before and I might not be so chilled.
"I'm going to have a big hen do with my friends and family but we're still having meetings to decide what to do. The boys have booked their stag already."

Billie Faiers has vowed to organise her wedding in 2015.
The 'Only Way is Essex' star - who has five-month-old daughter Nelly with fiance Greg Shepherd - wants to have a big celebration when she ties the knot and has decided to hire a wedding planner to help organise her nuptials without a hitch.
She said: "We've been looking for a venue for a while but we've not found one we love.
"I want a big wedding and I'm a bit worried I'll turn into a bridezilla, so I'm planning to hire a wedding planner next year to take some of the pressure off."
Though her big day is coming close, Billie, 24, insists she isn't worried about getting her pre-pregnancy body back.
She said: "I'm lucky, I didn't put on too much extra weight during my pregnancy and, while I'd like to tone up a bit, it's not a priority right now.
"I've only worked out once since Nelly was born and that was a few weeks ago with [my sister] Sam and her trainer. I was in so much pain the next day I could barely walk, I don't know how Sam does it."

Brooke Vincent "forgets" her new year's resolutions.
The 'Coronation Street' actress admits she makes pledges to change things with every turning of the year, but rarely sticks to her promises, sometimes because she can't remember what her intentions were.
She said: "I always try to make new year's resolutions but then I never get around to following them through.
"I've said I'm going to stop biting my nails every year since I was 13 but only managed it two years ago.
"I wanted to become a vegetarian but then I forgot."
This year, Brooke is aiming to make small changes but isn't expecting to stick with them.
She added: "Everyone says they won't drink or smoke but it lasts three days. They're still the same old crank.
"I'll probably try something little like keeping my car clean, but even that won't happen."
Brooke is likely to party hard over the New Year period but has plans in place to ensure she won't be feeling too bad.
She said: "I'll call it a night about 5am, 6am. But I don't go out until 11pm. I get ready, eat and have a sleep beforehand so my stomach's gone down and I can get into my dress. Tricks of the trade!"
When asked for her hangover cures, she added: "Sleep, diet coke and McDonalds - I could easy eat there two or three times a week, although when I'm 30 and 36st it'll catch up with me."
