Taylor has given up on dating, saying, 'I don't know how I would ever have another person in my world trying to have a relationship with me, or a family.'

AceShowbiz - Taylor Swift talks about dating, independence and the freedom of being single in an interview with Cosmopolitan U.K. for its December issue. Talking about being set up on dates, she says, "People will say, let me set you up with someone, and I'm just sitting there saying, 'That's not what I'm doing. I'm not lonely; I'm not looking.'... They just don't get it."

The "Out of the Woods" singer, who was previously linked to Harry Styles, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Lautner, adds, "I've learnt that just because someone is cute and wants to date you, that's not a reason to sacrifice your independence and allow everyone to say whatever they want about you. I'm not doing that anymore."

She has given up on dating, saying, "It'd take someone really special for me to undergo the circumstances I have to go through to experience a date. I don't know how I would ever have another person in my world trying to have a relationship with me, or a family. The best answer I can come up with now is go at it alone. Life can be romantic without having a romance. I'm very attracted to how happy I am now."

Taylor says her friend and feminist icon Lena Dunham has helped her to grow. "[Lena's] perspective has truly shaped me in the past couple of years," the "Shake It Off" hitmaker shares, "She is just so enthusiastic about life, about other women. She is like a hug in the form of a person."

The 24-year-old songstress reveals she and her girlfriends "talk a lot about feminism and the inequality between the way men and women are talked about." She adds, "The kind of things we say are: 'Why is it mischievous, fun and sexy if a guy has a string of lovers that he's cast aside, loved and left? Yet if a woman dates three or four people in an eight-year period she is a serial dater and it gives some 12-year-old the idea to call her a slut on the internet?' It's not the same for boys, it just isn't and that's a fact."

In the interview, Taylor also talks about her new album "1989". She explains, "I wrote my last album about the deep, sad, intense heartbreak I went through. This album is about after that, when you've figured it out. You like being alone and not because you're hurt, not because you're sad, but because it's free."
