Boy George has never "truly" been in love.
The 'Karma Chameleon' singer still has feelings for his ex-partners and cares about what happens to them, but doesn't think he has ever fallen properly in love with anyone.
He said: "I would say at this point, I don't think I've ever really truly been in love which is quite of shocking thing to say.
"I mean, I think over the years, I probably felt that I was kind of madly in love with quite few people. There are a couple of ex-partners that I love now which is different, like I love them as friends. I kind of love them in a way that I could never love them when I was going out with them. And I actually care about what happens to them."
The 52-year-old singer - who is openly gay - still hopes to find love one day after realising his previous ideas that relationships need "drama" were "naive".
Asked on 'Piers Morgan Live' if he hopes to find true love, he said: "I think, yeah. It would be nice.
"When you are young, you have such unrealistic expectations of other people and your idea of what love is, is kind of a little bit naive.
"I used to think it was a big drum and I needed fireworks because I grow up with that scene. My parents were like that.
"I kind of, for years, thought of all those kind of very dramatic relationships were really the real thing. So, I'm waiting."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's new home is inspired by the Palace of Versailles.
The couple toured the royal chateau - where they have been denied permission to marry - during a visit to Paris, France, last month and were so stricken by the famous Hall of Mirrors, they have decided to have a similar room installed into the Californian mansion they are currently having renovated.
A source said: "Kim and Kanye just loved the Hall of Mirrors when they visited Versailles.
"They both took a lot of pictures and decided they wanted a similar look in their new house.
"Their contractors have been put through their paces with constant redesign and new ideas. It's actually Kanye who keeps changing his mind on the design and decor of the house, but they both agree on one thing -- the mirrors."
The couple - who have eight-month-old daughter North together - have now asked their team to scour Europe for the perfect fittings for the room.
The source added to RadarOnline.com:
"The hunt is on to find antique mirrors.
"Kanye's decorators are scouring archives in antique shops all over the world, focusing on the Venice, Italy area, which is renowned for mirrors."
The Hall of Mirrors features 17 mirror-clad arches - each containing 21 mirrors - that reflect the 17 arcaded windows which overlook the garden of the 17th century palace.

Sharon Osbourne has slammed Justin Bieber.
The outspoken 'Talk' star insists the 19-year-old singer needs reprimanding for his recent behaviour - which has included being arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), driving with a suspended license and resisting arrest, and allegedly being abusive to flight staff who asked him to stop smoking marijuana - and says his conduct can't be excused because his music isn't very good either.
She said: "[If I managed him] he would have to go to a hospital to get my foot out of his ass.
"And after they pried my foot from his ass, it's all about the music. If you make great music, I'll accept anything. If you're a great artist, I'm not so judgmental. But when you do floppy, poppy, disposable music, I don't care.
"For me, he doesn't do anything that's going to stand the test of time."
Sharon - who has managed several musicians, including her husband Ozzy Osbourne - says her main priority if she looked after the 'Believe' star's career would be to get him to work harder on his music.
Speaking on 'Chelsea Lately', she said: "If I seriously managed him, I would put him in the studio until he came out with a great album and then, it gives you a license to misbehave."
And the 61-year-old star also admitted she refuses to sit in on interviews on 'The Talk' if she isn't a fan of the guest.
She said: "If it's something I really have a thing against. I'll ask to be removed from the segment."

Selena Gomez has thanked her fans for their support.
The 21-year-old singer has spoken out for the first time since it was revealed she spent two weeks in rehab last month, and she has praised her supporters for "inspiring" her.
She wrote in an Instagram post: "I've done everything I could to the best of my ability. Thank you for the unconditional love and cyber hugs. You inspire me."
It has been claimed the 'Come & Get It' hitmaker sought help as she was "burnt out", while it has also been suggested her partying was getting out of control.
Selena - whose on/off relationship with Justin Bieber is said to have contributed to her problems - reportedly left rehab four weeks early as she felt two weeks at The Meadows clinic in Arizona was enough to get her back on track.
Following her treatment, the 'Spring Breakers' star - who cancelled a planned tour of Australia this month - is said to be doing "so well" and is now focused on returning to work and has been reading lots of scripts and attending casting calls in a bid to move forward.

One Direction are set for their own reality show, according to Simon Cowell.
The 'Midnight Memories' group - consisting of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson - are set to meet with the music-and-TV mogul in the near future to discuss their own TV show, which could follow a fly-on-the-wall format.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the latest round of 'Britain's Got Talent' auditions at London's Hammersmith Apollo today, Simon revealed: "I think there's something in the works, a possible TV show ... we're going to talk about that in the next couple of weeks. They're always busy these guys."
The 54-year-old music manager also confirmed One Direction will release their fourth studio album this year, following the success of last year's 'Midnight Memories', which spawned the hit song 'Best Song Ever'.
He added: "The important thing is they've got a new album out this year."
The teen heartthrobs are nominated for four accolades at next week's prestigious BRIT Awards - the British equivalent to the Grammys - but Simon insists he isn't concerned about his acts being snubbed by the BRITs voting body, who in the past haven't recognised his best-selling artists such as Leona Lewis and Little Mix.
He explained: "It means more to them than it does to me, but I hope they pick up a few.
"Honest to God, all I'm interested in is record sales. It's nice to get an award but if you don't, you don't. I don't lose any sleep over it."

Britain's Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla met Fearne Cotton and Tom Odell today (11.02.14).
The royal couple - who married in 2005 - paid a visit to BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra this morning, where they were given a tour of the studio and introduced to the blonde DJ and the British singer-songwriter.
The pair stopped by Radio 1's Live Lounge and watched Tom - who has been nominated for a BRIT award this year - rehearsing for his performance, which took place earlier today on the show.
Tom said: "It was a really bizarre morning. He [Prince Charles] was really nice and interested in what we were doing. I performed a bit of 'Another Love' for him and he said, 'Give it some welly!'.
"He was really cool. It was nerve-wracking enough to come and do the famous Radio 1 Live Lounge and then meeting royalty. Amazing!"
The Prince and the Duchess also got to have a go at filming Tom on a PSR4 standard definition camera during his performance, and the footage is set to feature on the BBC website.
Fearne said: "An amazing morning! Something that doesn't happen every day and Camilla was great on the camera in the Live Lounge!"

Skrillex is reportedly being sued after he landed on a fan on while stage diving at a gig in 2012.
The 26-year-old musician - real name Sonny Moore - could be forced to pay out after Jennifer Fraissl allegedly filed a lawsuit against him, claiming she suffered a stroke as a result of the trauma.
The female supporter claims Skrillex asked the crowd at the Belasco theatre in Los Angeles to move forward so that he could leap from the stage and crowd surf.
However, Jennifer was stood at the front, so it was impossible for her to get out of the tight spot among the other fans, which resulted in her allegedly being injured by the star.
Jennifer is reportedly claiming for unspecified damages, medical expenses and loss of income.
According to TMZ.com, both Skrillex and the nightclub have been named in the lawsuit as she believes the event organisers failed to step in and stop the star from behaving recklessly on their premises.
Skrillex and The Belasco have yet to comment on the claims.
Meanwhile, Skrillex announced last year he was planning on releasing his debut album in the near future.
Asked if he had new music to release, he told Radio 1: "For sure - sooner rather than later, I'd say sooner."

Nick Jonas joined Demi Lovato on stage on Sunday (09.02.14).
The 'Heart Attack' hitmaker surprised fans on the opening night of her 'Neon Lights' tour in Vancouver when she performed with the former Jonas Brothers singer.
The duo belted out three tracks, 'Stop The World', 'Catch Me' and 'Here We Go Again' together, while Nick, 21, played the guitar.
The 21-year-old beauty - who has famously dated Nick's brother Joe Jonas in the past - had originally hired the hunky star as the musical and creative director of her tour a few months ago.
Nick said previously: "I'm overseeing video content, wardrobe, lighting and staging. And then I'm extending into the musical side of things, which includes creating the arrangements for the songs.
"I'm building what Demi wanted, which is a show without stops and starts."
The performer - who was previously in a band with his brothers Kevin, 26, and Joe, 24 - has been close friends with Demi for a number of years and wanted to make sure he did her proud.
He continued: "I was immediately excited when I was offered the position. The relationship that Demi and I had over eight years really gives me the insight into how to best communicate with her and her team."

Richard Bacon has become a father again.
The radio host took to Twitter today (11.02.14) to announce that his wife Rebecca McFarlane gave birth to their daughter Ivy, their second child, last Thursday (06.02.14).
The 38-year-old presenter posted a picture of the newborn, accompanied with the caption: "This is Ivy. She is mine. (Born on Thursday but I forgot to tell anyone). (sic)"
After sharing the news with his surprised fans, Richard was bombarded with congratulatory messages from his supporters and fellow celebrity pals.
Kirstie Allsopp - best known for her presenting role on 'Location,
Location, Location' - said: "Wow! She's adorable, tons of
congratulations to You & BB xxx. (sic)"
Fellow presenter Lauren Laverne added: "SO CUTE! Congratulations! X (sic)"
Richard also used his Twitter account to announce the birth of his son Arthur, a day after he was born, on October 31, 2011.
The former 'Blue Peter' presenter married Rebecca in 2008 and
previously admitted in an interview with the MailOnline that he has
changed since meeting his beau.
He said in 2012: "It was very intense very quickly. She moved in
straight away and we got engaged quite soon after. I proposed when she was blow-drying her hair in her underwear in our bedroom.
"Rebecca's brought this natural equilibrium to my life and made me a much better person - much happier, he said. 'It's amazing how much you can change in four years."

Lee Ryan and Jasmine Waltz are "totally in love".
The 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestants were all over each other during their time in the house, and despite living thousands of miles apart - with Jasmine's home being in California while Lee lives in London - the pair claim they're crazy about one another.
Lee said: "We've spoken and said if this isn't real let's just walk away, but we're totally in love. Who wants to go into a relationship thinking it could end in heartache? So we're open and upfront."
Despite admitting he wants to "rip her clothes off every five seconds", the Blue singer rekindled his relationship with glamour model Casey Batchelor once Jasmine had been booted off the reality TV show in the second week, but the American actress says she's now forgiven him for his moment of weakness.
Jasmine, 31, also says if their relationship doesn't work out, she'll remain loyal to Lee, 30, and won't reveal anything private that has happened between them.
She told OK! magazine: "Above everything we're friends, we're almost family in a sense. I would never do anything to hurt him. I'll protect him for the rest of my life. If it doesn't work out between us you will not see me selling stories."

Peter Capaldi's age won't affect Doctor Who's personality.
The 55-year-old actor has been tasked with following in 31-year-old star Matt Smith's footsteps as the next incarnation of the quick-witted Time Lord, and showrunner Steven Moffat says the main motivation behind the change-up was casting a great actor rather than an older Doctor.
Asked whether he had consciously stepped away from Matt's "sexy" portrayal of the Doctor, he said: "[After] Matt Smith's wonderful Doctor, we said, 'What other young man could do that?' I can think of one actor right now who'd be a brilliant choice for the Doctor, but you just think, 'It's another sexy young man with amazing hair,' and we've done that.
"But also, most significantly, I knew Peter Capaldi's a huge 'Doctor Who' fan. He's one of the best actors in the world. He's an extraordinary actor. I just thought, 'Why has nobody ever asked him if he'd do it?' And he is doing it, and wow.
"I was watching it this morning, and it's all the difference in the world, because suddenly he's a man in his 50s with grey hair - and it's no difference at all. It's weird. Never mind that, John Hurt's 73, and how great was he? And kids love the John Hurt Doctor."
Steven also addressed fan criticism that the time-travelling Gallifreyan has become too "sexualised" in recent years, insisting that love has always been part of the long-running BBC One show's identity.
He told IGN.com: "People talk about sex in 'Doctor Who' - I heard someone say that to me, 'You've sexualised the Doctor.'
"It's a fact of the canon of the show that the Doctor was a married man and had children. We know that he flirts, we know that he falls in love, we know that he has the full range of responses in that. The story of Doctor Who is that he's not a deity, but some people think he is, and sometimes he tries to live up to that."
