Katie Holmes Dating Again 5 Years After Tom Cruise Divorce?

After five years of marriage to Hollywood's highest paying actor Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes might be ready to test the waters in the dating world again.  The couple split in June of 2012 and inside sources say that the "Dawson's Creek" actress is ready to give love another shot, however she is apprehensive about being in another "controlling" relationship and is enjoying her "freedom."

"Katie's in a dilemma, because she wants to date but is concerned where it could lead to from there," said an insider to Radar Online. "She's worried that if she commits herself fully to another man, she will have to give up the freedom she's enjoying so much at the moment. As a single woman, she has no one controlling her nowadays, telling her what to do or who to see and she absolutely loves it!"

For now the 34-year-old mother is focused on raising her six-year-old daughter Suri, but she would eventually like to be in another relationship.

"She also misses being with someone special to share experiences with and she doesn't want to be alone for the rest of her life ... Katie's got Suri for the time being, and she is her best friend, but she does eventually want to find a man she can be that close with as well. She's just a little nervous and cautious about relationships still right now."

Holmes reportedly wanted out of her marriage with Cruise due to his "controlling ways" over her and their daughter.  She also did not agree with his strong believes in Scientology.
