Dorinda Medley is ready to love again after giving up on love during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The star revealed her relationship status on her new show, Make It Nice with Dorinda Medley, which returned to SiriusXM radio on Thursday.
“I’m trying to get myself back out there,” she shared. “I’m open. I think 2022 for me is the year of love.”
Medley continued: “I’m looking for the feeling of a great kiss again. I deserve a great kiss.”
The reality star also revealed that she was asked out on a date and she said “YES”.
“I think dating is good, being open to new people,” she explained. “Someone asked me out, sort of a couple [of] weeks ago, that I wasn’t quite [sure] at first sight. I was like, ‘I’m not sure,’ but I said yes. I’m coming from a place of yes.”
“I don’t know about him yet. I’ve gotta see. I’ve gotta get to know the person,” she told Lewis. “I’ve got to get some foundation laid. Why am I gonna waste my time?”

The People reported that Medley revealed that she met her new love interest while out with friends, noting that he approached her at a group dinner, mistaking her table for his own. After having a drink together, he asked for her phone number.
The reality star did not reveal the name of the new suitor but admits she’s taking time to know him well.
“First of all, I have to get his medical records. I can’t be running around with an STD at this point,” she joked, adding that she hasn’t slept with him yet. “That’s not a good look.”
The reality star split from Mahdessian in September 2019, and later opened up about her heartbreak on season 12 of RHONY, calling their breakup “terrible.”
