Moore: 'I hate dating'

Pop star Mandy Moore wishes she could skip the courting stages of a relationship because she detests going on dates.

The 22-year-old singer suffered from depression after splitting from Scrubs actor Zach Braff in November, but has recently been seen stepping out with Nicole Richie's ex-fiance Adam 'DJ Am' Goldstein.

However, dating leaves Moore in a panic.

She says: "I don't enjoy dating in the public eye. I don't even really enjoy dating.

"I find it really not fun. When it comes to the romantic side of things, I would rather be a girl in a relationship than dating."
