Washington, Nov 17 Chris Brown says he isn't ready to get into a new romantic relationship.

"I've been kinda chillin'. I mean, I'm Chris Brown. I'm not saying it like that, but it's just, like, girls are gonna be around. I love women. But I would say I've just been chillin'," People quoted Brown as telling MTV News.

"I haven't really been trying to get into a relationship or trying to date anybody. I've just kinda been working on me. Like I said, just really getting me straight," he added.

In recent interviews, Rihanna described how she was assaulted by her former boyfriend Brown following a heated argument in February.

Brown maintains that, while he respects her right to speak out, he wishes she'd kept the matter private.

He was sentenced to five years' probation and ordered to stay away from Rihanna after pleading guilty to the attack.

He was also ordered to undergo anger management counselling and complete community service. (ANI)
