Washington (ANI): John Mayer is tired of speculation surrounding his love life, and so, has decided to take a break from dating. The musician told US TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres he is a little "freaked out" by the interest in who he''s with.

"I''m not dating. I have sort of a funny track record, which is actually not that strange given my age. I''m a little freaked out right now about it, to be honest," Contactmusic quoted him, as telling. He said: "For some reason, whoever I date has been famous for a while. I can''t sit here and be like, ''Oh please, let me live my life in private with this famous person who''s been around for 15 years."

"I think I may have got lost a couple of times, but so does everybody. I''m just going to hunker down. 2010 is a peaceful year for me, no matter what I do." The 32-year-old star has dated a number of high profile women including singer Jessica Simpson and ''Friends'' star Jennifer Aniston.
