Los Angeles, May 8 (IANS): Actress Susan Sarandon, who split with her boyfriend Jonathan Bricklin last year, "misses" being in love.

The 69-year-old says she doesn't mind being alone but enjoys the feeling of investing in a partner, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“I guess the dating thing hasn't worked out for me. I don't mind being alone, but I do like being in love, so I miss that. The problem is, I'm kind of at the mercy of the gods in terms of who I meet,” Susan told HELLO! magazine.

Despite her share of heartbreak, Susan -- who was married to Chris Sarandon from 1967 to 1979, previously dated late singer David Bowie and filmmaker Franco Amurri and was in a relationship with actor Tim Robbins for 21 years until 2009 -- believes being unhappy is a "choice" and always tries to learn from bad situations and stay positive.

"When I made (new movie) 'The Meddler', I had just broken up with my boyfriend and I wasn't happy at all," Susan said.

"I'm generally a happy person. I think being unhappy is a choice, so whatever happens to me, I try to find some way to learn from it and get myself to a better place,” she added.
