Lionel Richie finds the dating thing difficult

The legendary singer finds "this dating thing" difficult because so many of his song titles sound like chat-up lines. He said it's hard for him to meet women because their first reaction is always something like "Oh my God! You are Lionel Richie!". Everything from then on sounds like a flirt. Even a simple "hello" sounds flirty (remember the song "Hello! … Is it me you're looking for?").

Lionel has been married twice already. According to a post on Boston.com, after his last divorce in 2001, he vowed never to get married again. He says marriage is simply too much responsibility, and that's something he doesn't want, because he is happy where he is. The title of one of his songs from the latest album says it all - "Up All Night". He went further to say that it's difficult for him to do the dating thing, because he'd hate all the kiss and tell. He likes the idea of not being attached. This way he can party "All Night Long".

Ladies, if you happen to bump into Lionel somewhere, flirt but don't use his song titles as lines, and don't let him know you know who he is.
