But what does time do now?
“I don’t think I’ve known what I wanted super much. I think I’ve always been in survival mode — what’s next,” she told Taylor Lewan and Will Compton. “How do I survive and advance? It’s a life thing. Now I feel like I’m happy with where I’m at. I’m settled. I’m a little more calm. I feel like I’m a little more able to be there for someone else.”
Adams added that her dating experience is minimal and was looking for more of a relationship than playing the field.
“I’ve realized, the truth is, I have very little experience in dating. I’m a relationship girl. By the time you’re so persistent that I’m on a first date with you, we’re already in love. You’re my boyfriend… In all my relationships, the first date is like, well, now it begins.

“I’ve been on so few first dates. Like, just recently, I’ve been on first dates where I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s what you do? And I don’t know you? And now we’re going to get to know each other. Like, ick, I’m not into that.'”
She said an ideal first date would be a “nice dinner” and the man “must pay.”
“And romantic and should be planned solely by the man, just in general.”
As for character traits in a man, Adams said she was looking for “intelligence and wit” and “loyalty and reliability” and that she needed someone to make her feel secure.
Adams clarified to anyone watching or listening to the podcast that she was just “having fun right now.”
