"But also, right now, it doesn't really matter. I just want a cute guy to hang out with and take me on a date. It's expensive out here."

Hannah added that she wants a man who can treat her to outings -- "somebody can buy my drinks, my food, my coffee."
"I like coffee dates. I'm more into that," she said. "I think, like, a surfing date would be fun. Skateboarding? I don't know. I just want it to be very relaxed."
The Alabama native revealed that she recently signed up for a dating app and it "felt really good to do" and has been "exciting" considering she hasn't been on a date since starring on The Bachelorette.
"I'm like, you know what? This is the time to have some good old mask fun," Hannah said.
"There's no pressure for anything because of the world that we live in right now. I mean, I'm not gonna just frickin' start macking on you. I don't know you. So, it just kind of, like, gives that good boundary, I think, that I'm in full support of right now in my life."
Hannah revealed she had been matched with "some really cute guys."
"But today, I'm going on my first date. This guy, he's like a good guy. He's attractive... seems really nice," Hannah continued.
Hannah's pal apparently warned her to stay away from a different guy since he's her typical type and she'd be setting herself up to be hurt again.

"I'm putting myself out there!" Hannah said, adding that she was feeling nervous and anxious before the date, who she ended up ditching!
"I'm not feeling it," Hannah checked in with her fans in the middle of the date. "Nice guy -- just kind of boring."
Hannah later updated everyone and explained she ended her first date early and planned to go on another one.
"We're going skateboarding. This guy looks pretty attractive. Hopefully he's not a dud," Hannah noted.
But this date wasn't a winner either because Hannah later confessed she didn't feel "a spark" although the guy was "really nice," "attractive, and really smart."
"I definitely think a spark can grow sometimes, but there has to be at least a little spark [in the beginning], like, 'Hmm, I'm interested in this person,'" Hannah shared, adding that they only had potential to become friends.
For Hannah's third and final date, she went out to dinner with a guy.

"He's not my guy," Hannah later confirmed. "He's really sweet but there's just no connection there, you know?"
Overall, Hannah said the guys she had dated were kind, sweet and polite and all three messaged her again after their date.
"Three strikes I'm out, but I have another at bat next inning, so watch out!" Hannah teased.
The Dancing with the Stars winner first put herself out there by spontaneously leaving her phone number on a man's car after she spotted him out and viewed him as a "beautiful specimen of a human."
Hannah selected Jed Wyatt as the winner of her heart over runner-up Tyler Cameron on The Bachelorette last year at the Final Rose Ceremony of Season 15, but the former Alabama beauty pageant queen broke up with Jed five weeks after they got engaged because he had lied about having a girlfriend back home in Nashville during filming.
On The Bachelorette's live reunion special in late July 2019, Hannah asked Tyler out on a date, which resulted in the pair spending one night together in Los Angeles.
However, nothing ever came of it because Tyler appeared to set his sights on supermodel Gigi Hadid, whom he dated for two months, and moved to New York City to pursue modeling. (He later had flings with Kylie Jenner's best friend Anastasia Karanikolaou and swimsuit model Jilissa Ann Zoltko).
Tyler admitted he and Hannah "struggled" to figure out their relationship for a while, especially when they quarantined with each other in Florida for three weeks in March.
Hannah returned home to her family in Alabama on April 1 and expressed at the time how she and Tyler were just friends, and in late September, Hannah and Tyler were spotted having lunch together in Los Angeles.

In an early October YouTube video Hannah and Tyler created together, the pair confirmed they never hooked up -- or even kissed -- while in quarantine.
However, Hannah admitted she and Tyler had been "feeling each other out" at the time and the lack of clarity she had about their relationship was frustrating.

"I just wanted to work on it being a friendship. If we stepped away from each other and wanted more, we could always go and get more."
But Hannah apparently felt led on at times and the pair had major disagreements.
"I think it was really hard for me and him just being like, 'Let's just chill.' He'd always say, '[Let's] figure it out,'" Hannah said in the video.
"And I'm like, 'What are we figuring out?' And I hated figuring it out... I'm pretty sure there were days when we barely talked to each other."
Although their relationship was "unhealthy" at the time, they continued to talk things out and so their friendship gradually improved to the "cool" dynamic they have as friends today.
"We're going to still hang out," Hannah noted, adding that the former couple doesn't feel any "pressure" to be together anymore or define their relationship.
"I think everything we've been through and all the stuff we've done, we care about each other and we're there for each other. I'm super stoked about where we're at right now," Tyler added at the time.
