doesn’t want to waste time in her new single era.

After breaking up with ex-fiancé , the former Real Housewives of New York City star decided to schedule a first date with a mystery man. But according to a new social media post, Frankel, 53, had a change of heart after spotting the bachelor moments before the meeting began.

“So I got dressed up to go out on a date with someone, and it was a last-minute thing. That’s fine. But he was like, ‘I’m gonna meet a friend also for a drink,’” Frankel said during a TikTok video posted on July 12. “I think he thinks I’m gonna meet them ’cause I know the friend, sort of. I just saw them walking down the street. The guy’s not my type.”

With little hesitation, the best-selling author decided she wasn’t going to go through with the date.

Frankel finalized her divorce from Hoppy shortly before she got engaged to Bernon in 2021, even though the pair initially split in 2012. Their divorce proceedings lasted eight years in […]

“I don’t want to waste time,” Frankel — who shares daughter Bryn, 14, with ex-husband — explained. “I’d rather be home with [Bryn]. I don’t want to go so I’m not going. It sucks that I think I look cute, but I’m not going so now I don’t know what the hell I’m supposed to do.”

Hours before the scheduled date night, Frankel decided to “rip the band-aid right off” and get ready for a night out in New York City. She showcased her outfit of the day, which included a Hemant & Nandita dress, Vince Camuto shoes and a Dior bag.

“Listen, got to come in hot,” she shared with her TikTok followers before she chose to “abort” the date.

“I got to figure out what this next era is like, but wasting time is not part of it,” Frankel continued. “Bryn is going to come back in the car now because she just went in to spy for me to verify that I shouldn’t go because I don’t think this person is my type for many different reasons.”

Before the night came to an end, Frankel decided to stop by Chef ’s new restaurant IL Pellicano Southampton partly because she wasn’t “wasting this outfit.”

“Got to be adventurous,” she added. “This is my adventurous era. Place of yes.”
