One Direction star Harry Styles, who was earlier romantically linked with celebrities like Taylor Swift, Caroline Flack and Kendall Jenner, says he “hasn’t dated” anyone for a long time.

Styles said his hectic work schedule has kept him away from a relationship, but added that he would be taking a whole new approach to dating in the future.

“I haven’t dated in a long time really because I went away to do the movie then did the album, so I haven’t in a while. I have a couple of candles left still though,” Styles said on The Radio 1 Breakfast Show.

Talking about what it’s like finding dates as a celebrity, Styles said: “I feel like with all of the stuff how people date now with all online stuff I feel like you can do that with anyone really. If you’re looking at someone’s profile before seeing them it’s kinda the same.

“I used to [research dates], then I said I’m not going to do that anymore, it’s impossible to go in without a perception of someone and you’ve never met them and I started feeling like that was wrong and weird,” he said.

Styles on Friday released a ballad with touches of 1970s glam rock as he became the latest member of the boy band to go solo.

Sign of the Times is the first solo single by the 23-year-old English singer who is expected to put out a full album at a later date.
