Brandy Is 'Not Okay' Being Single

By Amber James Posted Dec 1st 2010 12:30PM

Brandy is tired of being single.

The R&B singer, who calls herself a hopeless romantic, admits she is unhappy and wants a man in her life. "I put myself in the eyeline of love, but I can't quite get it together," she tells PopEater. "I'm not okay being single because I'm a relationship girl. I love the romance."

Brandy was romantically involved with producer Robert "Big Bert" Smith and gave birth to their daughter, Sy'rai, in 2002. However, a year after the birth, the couple officially announced their separation. Since then, Brandy hasn't been very lucky in the love department, admitting earlier this year that she hasn't had sex in six years.

Although the single mother hasn't found Mr. Right, she's still holding out hope. "He's out there. He's just taking too long. It's like 'Dude. Hurry up! Where are you?'"

Now that her daughter is older, Brandy is giving herself more time to go out and start dating again. What's she looking for in her dream guy? "He has to be funny because I love to laugh. Driven, creative, motivated and inspired. He has to be a loving guy, who loves his mom and family. And, of course, easy on the eyes. That always helps," she gushes.

But at the end of a long day, Brandy says the love from her family and friends is what truly matters. "I have a good family and support system who've helped me with my daughter for years. They've helped me balance everything in my life. I'm blessed," she reveals.

The Norwoods -- Brandy, brother Ray J and gospel-singing father Willie -- recently teamed up for their first family collaboration, entitled 'Talk to Me,' just in time for the second season of VH1's 'Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business,' which debuts Dec. 5 at 11PM EST.

Brandy admits the recording session brought back a lot of emotions for her. "It reminds me of when we were little. All we did was sing with my dad in the choir and in the car on the way to church. To be on a record with them is a blessing. Music is our first love," she says.

The single also marks the end of Brandy's two-year hiatus from music, and she is hard at work on her sixth studio album. "The fans are like, 'Please come back! Please come back.' They deserve the music, so I want to give them everything I've got on this new album."

She's dumped a man or two because she wanted to be in control of her life. Now that she's lonely, I'm supposed to feel sorry for this hasbeen diva?

Ms Lady, stop this looking for the right man, I got married when I was 60 years of age for the first time.I was working woman with a child a son. Make time for yourself and your child, there may not be a man for you right now. At times I think I did the wrong thing, go figure.

I hope the 2'nd season of Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business
is better than the first, and will eventually lead to other
projects from either the Norwoods, or other black artists
I love like Jay Z, Mary J. Blige, and Ashanti.

No sex in six years? Now tell us the one about The Three Bears Brandy.

By Sweet

Yeah right. Every since she was on Oprah lying about being married to her baby daddy (if she didn't want to be a baby momma, why not just get married? Oh wait, he didn't ask).. I don't believe a word Brandy says. What about that pro-baller she was engaged to for a minute? They didn't have sex? Yeah right.

By Marsha

Maybe she's decided to (clink, clink) lock it down until her wedding night this time.

The reason you haven't had sex in years is because you've got a face like a horse!

Brandy, you should give Maksim (DWTS) a chance. You guys had good chemistry.

Mike there are plenty of ugly people who get it on the regular, that's not a good excuse.

She just described Michael Jackson as her dream guy...Good luck with that one. There ain't nobody left like that.

I Believe Brandy, and yes it is possible not to have sex for years, because you date someone doesn't mean you have to get it up to be liked or loved, it was dating fool. I love Brandy and she will indeed find true love, there no rush Brandy and don't give in to casual relationships for sex. Trust me you are being thought about and now that you have it known and the word is out, your picks will be calling.

Well first I had to find God. In the bible God said " Seek Me first and I will add everything to you" Well I let god in my life and got right with Him( forgiveness of sins and giving Him my life) and the right one who I love came along soon after. We have been married for years and raised a family. I had to have God in my life to find the right one.

You won't find the right one in a bar or drug house. You won't find the right one anywhere except in God. Only God can choose the right spouse for you.

Oh puh-LEASE. In the middle of this whole exercise about some co-dependent, over privileged woman-child, you are going to say that GOD is the answer to this? If GOD isn't dealing with Libya, Japan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, people messing with our secrets and such, why in the world would she waste her time getting a boyfriend for a woman who doesn't even know what she wants?

Michael Jackson...Only in America can you be born a black man and die a white woman.
