Anderson Cooper says he dated girls in
his early teens because he was “hoping to meet their brothers.”
On his daytime talk show, Anderson
Live, Cooper, who came out gay last year, told his guests and
audience about his accidental dates with girls.
Cooper explained that he has had some
experiences in areas “other than guys.”
“I don't have very much experience
but the few times that I would go on a date with a girl, like when I
was … 12, I found it, like, there was a lot sharing and a lot of
talking and a lot of asking how I am,” Cooper, also a CNN anchor,
said.
“But some of my best friends right
now are girls who I, you know, who allegedly dated me when we were 13
and 14 and who I didn't really know we were dating but they thought
we were dating and I was sort of, you know, hoping to meet their
brothers.” (The video is embedded on this page. Visit
