It is no secret that Khloé Kardashian has been off men after her on-and-off relationship with Tristan Thompson.  The 42-year-old has been open about her choice not to date and recently revealed she hasn't been intimate in four years. In a recent episode of The Kardashians, she got candid about why she’s hesitant to get back into the dating world.

In the episode, Koko admitted she still has some soul-searching to do before she feels ready to give love another chance, revealing that her past experiences with men have left her questioning her own judgment. “I don't trust myself when it comes to men because of my track record with men,” Khloé confessed. 

“And I am trying to figure out why. I'm trying to understand why I make choices or decisions. And I still don't have that answer yet. But no, I don't really trust myself.”.

Rather than rushing into another relationship, the Good American cofounder explained that she's trying to work through those feelings before putting herself back out there. 

She also vented to Scott Disick about feeling pressure from people around her to start dating again. “It's really other people that make me feel insane for not dating,” she explained, noting that people question why she's been single for so long. “Other people are like, ‘It's been four years?’”

Khloé, who shares daughter True and son Tatum with ex Tristan Thompson. She was previously married to Lamar Odom, who almost died in 2015 inside a brothel when he overdosed on drugs and had 12 strokes and 6 heart attacks.

Disick acknowledged her decision, telling her, “You just do it when you're ready." “If you're fulfilled and you don't feel like you're lonely or need anyone, then it [doesn't matter].”

But even Khloé seems aware that getting comfortable with being alone can come with its own complications. “I know, but I also am like, ‘Okay, don't get too comfortable here,’” she added.

Her comments come after years of highly publicized relationship ups and downs, including her tumultuous romance with serial cheater Thompson, which played out in front of cameras and made headlines well beyond the family's reality show.

Her nerves around dating were also apparent on the show in last week's episode when Khloé filmed a steamy professional shoot with a male model named Brandon Good.

“I can't remember the last time I had a man touching me,” she admitted before the shoot, acknowledging that even a professional situation made her nervous.

As the cameras rolled, Khloé joked about the unexpectedly sensual nature of the scene, exclaiming, “I didn't know I was shooting soft porn today.”

She was quick to clarify that the model wasn't making her uncomfortable. “Brandon is so nice. He's asking if it's okay,” she said. “If he touches me, like, he could not be more professional. But still, I'm just nervous.”

Khloé then acknowledged that the model's looks might have contributed to her nerves, joking, “Well, maybe that he's so hot. Maybe that makes me a little nervous.”

Time will tell when Koko decides to date again, but if she does get married again, she might decide not to have children with them. In a previous episode, she said she doesn't want a future marriage to disrupt the family dynamic she has established with her two children.

“I don’t want me and my husband to have kids, and then my kids feel like, ‘Oh, we’re not as important because their daddy lives in this house,’” she explained. “I don’t want to cause a lot of disruption within my household because I love the way it is.”

Another option is using one of her embryos with Thompson, which he legally signed over to her.
