Dating is tough -- it's time-consuming, awkward and often results in a lot of dead ends before you find "the one." But dating after divorce? Even tougher!
And that's not just for the average Joes and Janes of the world. Even celebrities agree that getting back into the dating game post-split is no walk in the park. Click through the slideshow below for seven Hollywood A-listers who admitted they had trouble looking for love again after divorce.
Jennie Garth
Peter Facinelli <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/03/28/peter-facinelli-divorce-jennie-garth/">filed for divorce</a> from Jennie Garth in March 2012, after <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20582221,00.html">11 years of marriage </a>and three children together. In November 2012, the former "90210" actress sat down with Jeff Probst to <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/02/jennie-garth-divorce-actr_n_2066981.html">discuss her newly single status</a>. "The minute I think I?m ready to start dating I?m like, 'Oh no you?re not,'" <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/02/jennie-garth-divorce-actr_n_2066981.html">she told the host</a>. "I just don't know how to date," <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/02/jennie-garth-divorce-actr_n_2066981.html">she later admitted</a>. But apparently Garth is learning the ropes once again. She is rumored to be dating <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20663930,00.html">Big Giant drummer Jeremy Salken. </a>
Louis C.K.
Louis C.K. and painter Alix Bailey <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/louis-ck-5-things-you-dont-know-2012219">divorced in 2008</a>. In a 2010 interview with <a href="http://www.npr.org/2010/07/07/128343426/comedian-louis-c-k-finding-laughs-post-divorce">NPR's Terry Gross</a>, the comedian opened up about <a href="http://www.npr.org/2010/07/07/128343426/comedian-louis-c-k-finding-laughs-post-divorce">his experience dating again</a> after the split.
"You sort of feel like you just got out of prison," <a href="http://www.npr.org/2010/07/07/128343426/comedian-louis-c-k-finding-laughs-post-divorce">C.K. explained. </a>"And they give you the suit you were convicted in. And they give you a paper bag with a watch and a wallet in it. And they give you eight bucks and a bus ticket and the cars are going way too fast and you can't cross the street -- and you're considering going into a motel and hanging yourself after carving your initials. And you know, there's not a lot of women my age who're single. If they're single it's because something happened -- or didn't happen -- so I started immediately dating women who were younger than me. That's a very strange dynamic. And from their point of view, it's like they're dating a dead person. It's like a corpse. That's how I see myself through their eyes."
Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2010/11/16/eva-longoria-tony-parker-divorce-san-antonio-spurs-desperate-housewives/">filed for divorce</a> from NBA basketball player Tony Parker in November 2010 amid <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20442932,00.html">rumors of his infidelity</a>.

"I remember a friend of mine got divorced right before me when it wasn't even on my radar to be divorced and I go, 'How exciting! Aren't you excited? You get to date people, you get to have a first kiss, a first date, a first sex with somebody. Isn't that great? It's gonna be fun!'" <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwaRJr9qUrA">Longoria said</a>. "And she was like, 'No, I'm terrified.' I'm like, 'Why?' She's beautiful, she's gorgeous, she's smart. And then when I got divorced, she was like, 'Aren't you excited?' And I was like, 'No, f*** you! Don't give me my advice!'"
Brandi Glanville

It's hard to meet guys because they want to date you because you are on TV, or there are guys who like you but don't want anything to do with you because you are on TV. It's a hard road."
