Could he be more single? Matthew Perry made it pretty clear what’s going on with his dating life — and it’s safe to say he’s flying solo these days.

“I could not be more single,” the Friends alum, 53, told Andy Cohen on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live on Tuesday, November 1.

Perry, who was there to discuss his memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, said he’s no longer on any dating apps, claiming he’s “off [apps] forever” after giving them a shot.

“It’s not a necessity. You know, I wouldn’t like to be with somebody who drank so much that you couldn’t recognize them,” he said. “That would not be good. … But I don’t have any rules about that.”

Perry’s last public romance was with Molly Hurwitz. He dated the talent manager for four years, and they got engaged in November 2020. However, they never made it down the aisle. Us Weekly confirmed their split by June 2021.

“Sometimes things just don’t work out and this is one of them,” Perry’s rep told Us in a statement. “I wish Molly the best.”

His memoir revealed that he was high on “high on 1,800 milligrams of hydrocodone” when he popped the question to the Canadian. “Back in L.A. one more time, trying to sober up, I think, ‘Wait . . . how did I get engaged? There are dogs living in my house. How did this happen?’” the 17 Again star wrote. “I had asked her parents, begged for her hand
