“It was the worst experience I ever had”: Sandra Bullock Nearly Gave Up on Dating Before Meeting Matthew McConaughey on $152M Movie
Actress Sandra Bullock has dated a lot of celebrities throughout her successful career. She has dated notable names like Matthew McConaughey, Bob Schneider, and Ryan Gosling. The actress has always been candid about her idea of love and she once almost gave up on it after “she seemed to have attracted everyone whose intentions were not the best.”
Her relationship with Matthew McConaughey made her believe in love again, however, that relationship also ended in 1998. They have remained good friends since then. The actress has a remarkable career as she appeared in hits like Bird Box (2018), Gravity (2013), and Speed (1994).
Sandra Bullock gave up on dating in 1996
In 1996, actress Sandra Bullock was left disappointed as she went through three failed relationships. She gave up on the idea of dating at that point and talked about her anonymous partner back in 1996,
“It’s been rough because of all this that happened plus he’s working all the time and I rarely get to see him. But for a year I was by myself trying to date and I’m telling you dating was the worst experience I ever had. I seem to have attracted everyone whose intentions were not the best.”
At the time, the actress broke up with Tate Donovan in 1995 and then briefly dated Troy Aikman in the same year but that also ended.
