Teri Hatcher is swearing off dating apps.

The Desperate Housewives star swears she's done with the tech after a bad experience on Hinge ended in the removal of her profile. During an appearance on new HSN+ series Getting Grilled with Curtis Stone, Hatcher explained that she doesn't "meet people" in real life, which led to her trying out the dating technology.

"I've tried them all, and I tried my latest one. I tried Hinge," she told Stone. "You know, I thought, 'I'm gonna say to the universe that I am open and vulnerable, and I'm putting myself out there.' That's what I thought my gesture of joining that Hinge app would be. And then they kicked me off."

When prompted for details, Hatcher explained that the app apparently thought she was "pretending to be Teri Hatcher."

"I complained, I was like, 'Can I have my money back [since] you kicked me off?' They apologized, and then I was like, 'Eh, I'm sort of over it.' So now I'm over it," continued Hatcher. "I'm definitely done with the dating apps, and I feel like if there's any way I'll go somewhere and meet someone, that's what it's gonna have to be."

However, Hatcher isn't harboring ill feelings: "Honestly, I'm happy. I have a really full life, a really busy life. I have beautiful friends. I, you know, it's fine. I don't need a man. I have a cat."

Elsewhere on Getting Grilled with Curtis Stone — available in full online — Hatcher told the acclaimed Aussie chef about her childhood, her career, and of course, her love of food.
