Who's Emilia Clarke dating these days? No one!

In the new issue of InStyle U.K., the gorgeous 26-year-old Game of Thrones star opens up about loving life as a single lady.

"People keep asking me who I'm dating right now and the truth is...wait for [it]...no one," the actress told the fashion mag. "And that's OK. I'm figuring out a lot of stuff right now. I think as a woman it's in our nature to nurture someone else. Sometimes at the expense of ourselves."

Clarke previously romanced Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. The two first got together at the 2012 Emmys and dated for several months before breaking up in March 2013.

Even without a man, Clarke has plenty to keep her busy. When she's not working in front of the camera on GoT, Clarke revealed to the mag of her favorite pastime, "When I'm not on set, I'm reading. My father always said, 'Never trust anyone whose TV is bigger than their book shelf,' so I make sure I read."

Clarke also dished on her role as Sarah Conner in the upcoming Terminator: Genesis movie.

"I've been spending all day, every day, in weapons training," she said. "I've been shooting guns, weightlifting, kick-boxing, and generally kicking a lot of ass."
