Silverstone joins Bumble, but swears off drinking on dates

Alicia Silverstone is looking for love on Bumble, but she won’t drink on dates.

The Clueless actress — who divorced Chris Jarecki in 2018 after 13 years of marriage — has joined the dating app in a bid to meet a new lover and is hopeful after being discouraged by the traditional ways of meeting a potential suitor.

“I just think it’s a great way for people to meet,” Silverstone told People. “You know, I think that it’s really nice that we have friends that can connect us. You can be set up by friends, you can be at a party and tell people, ‘Hey, do you know anyone?’ You can do things like that. I have experience where I’ll go to an in-person event and no one’s really engaged. They’re sort of in their phones, and it’s a bit discouraging.”

But the 44-year-old star — who has 10-year-old son Bear with her ex-husband — confessed that she doesn’t drink alcohol on dates because that leads to “sexy time,” which can be awkward if she doesn’t like her date.

Talking about the Question Game on Bumble, where she was quizzed on “what goes through her mind after the second glass of wine on a date”, Silverstone spilled: “Sexy time. That’s why I don’t drink on dates. And if you don’t like them suddenly you like them because you’re drinking!”

She quipped: “New rules: No alcohol until I already know I like you.”
