Jessica Simpson leaving MTV studios after appearing on MTV's "TRL" where she debuted her new music video "A Public Affair".

Although she may be single but singer Jessica Simpson has revealed that she has left her past behind and wants to be loved now.

In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Nick Lachey's ex confessed she's ready for a serious relationship, reports TMZ.com.

"I wish I was in love, I need to be in love," she said.

Though many men may feel inclined to disagree, Simpson admits she's not exactly ideal girlfriend material.

"I think I'm too hard to be in love with, it ends up on the cover of every magazine. I scare people away."

Just last week Jessica made the cover of People for her alleged romance with singer John Mayer -- something the she emphatically denied on "The View."
