Jennifer Aniston says she's "not a big fan of dating," according to a new article in the UK's Red magazine. The Switch stars goes on to tout the value of friends (over boyfriends?), saying:

"Where would you be without friends?" she asks. "The people to pick you up when you need lifting? We come from homes far from perfect, so you end up almost parent and sibling to your friends -- your own chosen family. ThereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing."

Meanwhile, she wouldn't name her BFF, saying it would be unfair (the actress is close with former Friends co-star Courteney Cox and comedienne/late-show host Chelsea Handler). So she was diplomatic and said she's her own best buddy!

Aniston is promoting her new perfume and speaking of scents, the actress told the mag about some of her favorite smells:

"I love the smell of a fire going. Walking up to a house and you can smell the fire coming out of the chimney. ThatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s extraordinary. That, and the smell of cherry blossoms. Or jasmine when youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re coming home at night in the summer time."

She may not believe in boyfriends, but it sounds like she's a romantic at heart!
