Kate Gosselin on Dating: "I'm Trying to Be a Little More Open-Minded

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. -- Kate Gosselin may have settled into her life as a single mom, but the "Kate Plus 8" star said she hasn't quite figured out how to date again.

"It's just strange," Kate told Access Hollywood in
New York on Monday morning. "After this many years, to just be back out
there in the world? If somebody arises, that'd be great. If not, it is
what it is."

The
reality TV matriarch, whose show returns to TLC for a new season on
Monday night, said that part of the problem with dating is her lack of
time, while the other is - with eight children at home to plan for --
having a clear enough head to tune into the other person.

While she has a sparse dating schedule, Kate is still in contact with her ex-husband, of course - Jon Gosselin -- and she told Access the two are communicating better following their bitter 2009 divorce.

"I
guess it's a lot about my attitude and this is what I have to deal with
for the rest of my life, so might as well make the best of it," she
added.

"The
kids love it and every weekend that they're home we have something
planned. Every vacation, they look forward to it, and we still love
it," she said. One of those experiences - featured on Monday night's episode - sees the Gosselin matriarch and her brood heading Down Under.

"A
complete dream come true," Kate said. "To fly that far away and live
that dream was just amazing. We still talk about it every day."

"Kate Plus 8" airs on TLC at 10/9 C.
