She plays a strong, confident woman on screen but Hollywood favourite Courteney Cox has spoken of her nervousness when it comes to dating.

The Cougar Town star, who is currently separated from her husband of 10 years, David Arquette, and has told Hello! magazine she “might be too shy” to go back to dating.

She also described the kind of man who shouldn’t bother trying to woo the star. “You know what would be really hard for me?” Courteney said. “To go out with someone who I thought was too handsome — someone who, in every way, looks better than I do. That would be really uncomfortable.”

So is she ready to jump back in the dating pool? “Oh, man! Right now I’m not ready for anything,” Courteney said. “I’m just working and looking for some calm and some time to sit back and reflect.”

Courteney is “handling her break-up [from David] gracefully”, her Cougar Town co-star Ryan Devlin told RadarOnline.com.

“Courtney is an amazing woman and very talented,” Ryan said. “She will get through this in no time. When you have to go through something like that in public there are a couple of different ways to handle it. And she’s handled it, I think, with such grace, courage and strength.”

The same cannot be said for Arquette who seems to be enjoying the single life. He was recently spotted at a wild party at a Hollywood hotel. But there was no comment from Courteney about her feelings regarding David’s latest antics.
