(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Ryan Reynolds says dating is "alien" to him.

The Canadian actor filed for divorce from Scarlett Johansson in December of last year, and has admitted that he still isn't over the love split.

The pair began dating in 2007 and announced their engagement the following year. After marrying in an intimate ceremony in September 2008, the couple announced their separation in December of last year, and subsequently filed for divorce.

Ryan says that five months on, he is still not ready to hit the dating scene.

"It just seems so kind of alien to me at this point," he said in an interview with Details magazine. "I've been in relationships pretty much since high school. Some people look at that as a good thing. I think wiser people might see that as a house of cards. I don't think I want to get married again, but you always re-evaluate these things."

Ryan has admitted he is still not over the emotional side-effects of the divorce.

"Anyone who gets divorced goes through a lot of pain, but you come out of it," he said in an interview with Details magazine. "I'm not out of it yet. At all. But I sense that as I do come through it, there's optimism. How can there not be?"

The 34-year-old star, who was voted Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine, says he is adjusting to his new life. Ryan insists he continues to remain optimistic about the situation.

"Any kind of crisis can be good. It wakes you up," he said. "I gotta say, I'm a different person than I was six months ago." (C) Cover Media
