Don't expect to see Simon Cowell on Match.com anytime soon.

The snarky small-screen star – who recently announced his split from girlfriend-of-six-years Terri Seymour – has told Britain's Daily Mirror he is giving up girls.

"Don't worry about me," he said. "I don't need a lonely hearts ad. I'm off women now."

But the American Idol judge – who said Seymour recently broke things off over the phone – insisted that they remain pals.

"Everything's fine between me and Terri," he said. "I've always been very close to all my ex-girlfriends. We've never fallen out – they're like my best friends."
