<p>The 49-year-old singer says she briefly dated John when she was 30 but her father thought she was not mature enough to get involved and put a stop to it. Boyle still regrets it, Contactmusic reported. Boyle, who famously declared on the show that she had never been kissed, says the relationship was "chaste".<br /><br />"In my late 20s, I had a boyfriend for seven weeks. He was called John. I met him at a wedding and it was the first time I was involved with anyone, because I was always frightened of guys, but he was very kind.<br /><br />"One day I was upstairs when the phone rang. My dad got to it first. 'She doesn't want to talk to you,' he said and put down the receiver. 'Who was that?' I asked him. 'You're no ready for a boyfriend, hen!' said my dad," Boyle recalls in her forthcoming book 'The Woman I Was Born To Be'.<br /><br />Despite her unhappiness, the 'Wild Horses' hitmaker understands the action taken by her father. "I suppose dad was right that I wasn't mature enough for a relationship. He just wanted to protect me from getting hurt, but it did hurt when we stopped seeing each other," Boyle said.</p>
