During John Mayer's post-Jennifer Aniston heart-to-heart with the press, he said he decided to split with the "sophisticated" and "lovely" actress "to be alone because I don't want to waste somebody's time if something's not right."

But his solitary state appears to have been short-lived, although it remains unclear if anyone's time was wasted.

People reports the crooner, 30, celebrated the end of his world tour on Sunday night in West Palm Beach, Fla., by getting well-oiled and wooing a cocktail waitress, a "striking blonde" whom he was supposedly flirtatiously eyeing as she stood backstage.

"We're all drunk," Mayer announced to the crowd. "Only onstage can you openly drink on your last night."

When the concert was over, the singer and the fair-haired drink-slinger reportedly made a beeline for South Beach hot spot SET, where they hung out together in a private section of the club and engaged in what sounds like an intellectually stimulating tête-à-tête.

"She kept asking him what he wanted to drink and if he liked the music," a snitch tells the magazine. "They partied till about 3 a.m."

And while the indiscreet warbler didn't mention his more famous ex during his performance, he did allude to a recent conversation in which "a lot of tears were exchanged."

Of course, knowing Mayer, that could refer to anything from his final kiss-off with Aniston to an extended discourse with a pal over the poor treatment of Sloth in "The Goonies" (read his deep thoughts on the flick here).

Still, he does fess up to feeling a mite down in the dumps since the end of the publicity-generating relationship with Jen.

"The last few weeks have been tough and I have been sad," he admits to the Connecticut Post, before adding that he remains convinced he's "going to find the happiness I want."

John's body is a wonderland -- of ink.

And his typical motor-mouthed way, he spells out what, exactly, that means.

"I want to be in love and have someone love me. I want a nice home," he says. "I'm going to have kids and I'm going to be the father who's standing behind the bus when my son or daughter leaves for the first day of kindergarten. And, oh yeah, the tour has to end on this date, whatever, because I have to be there for the first day of school."

And on that first day, his kid will likely be trying to pretend he doesn't know the chatty dad who has a ridiculous tattoo covering his left arm.

"This is an art form in Japan and they're not real anxious to give them to non-Japanese," Mayer informs the paper. "It took six trips in as many years -- and all the Japanese I know -- to find an artist willing to do it. I convinced him I wanted to wear it as way to respect his art."
