The star told the news outlet that women have been giving him their numbers both in public and on social media . While Gerry doesn't say no to a phone number, he revealed that he hasn't followed up with anyone yet.
"[I'm] flattered by their boldness," he said. However, when he is ready to start dating again he knows what he wants. Gerry said he's looking for a good friend who loves adventure and travel.
He also wants a person who lives in his home state of Indiana who lives close to him to avoid long-distance relationships . Gerry also refuses to sign up for dating apps and prefers to meet someone the old-fashioned way. The former TV couple revealed they were separating in a tell-all interview with Good Morning America .
The main issue in their marriage was the long distance. During their marriage , Theresa continued to live in New Jersey while Gerry was in Indiana. "Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations and we've looked closely at our living situation," Gerr.
