John Mayer Says He Doesn’t ‘Really Date’ After Getting Sober: ‘I Don’t Have the Liquid Courage’

The Grammy winner, 45, discussed the role his sobriety has played in his dating tendencies (or now, lack thereof) on the Call Her Daddy podcast’s first-ever holiday special.

“Dating is no longer a codified activity for me, it doesn’t exist in a kind of… it’s not patterned anymore,” he told host Alex Cooper.

“I don’t really date — I don’t think that I have to, to be quite honest. I quit drinking like six years ago, so I don’t have the liquid courage. I just have dry courage,” he added. “You have to be honest. You have to express yourself — you have to be glaringly honest… You have to express your anxieties — you can’t just walk over them by drinking.”

Mayer, who’s famously been linked to Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston, Katy Perry, Jessica Simpson, Minka Kelly and Jennifer Love Hewitt, also addressed his reputation for being a “womanizer.”

“I think, look, the elephant in the room is that I’m on a show that caters to women, and I have a couple of nameplates on me, like ‘lothario’ and ‘womanizer,’ and I think that is what that is,” he told Cooper. – Source
