KATIE Holmes nervous about dating again.

KATIE Holmes is nervous about dating again.

"Katie's in a dilemma, because she wants to date but is concerned where it could lead to from there," a source said.

"She's worried that if she commits herself fully to another man, she will have to give up the freedom she's enjoying so much at the moment. As a single woman, she has no one controlling her nowadays, telling her what to do or who to see and she absolutely loves it!

"However, at the same time, she also misses being with someone special to share experiences with and she doesn't want to be alone for the rest of her life.

"Katie's got Suri for the time being, and she is her best friend, but she does eventually want to find a man she can be that close with as well. She's just a little nervous and cautious about relationships still right now."
