NeNe Leakes has started dating for the first time since the death of her husband

She told Us Weekly: "The dating pool actually has changed over the years. My husband actually courted me. I don't even think they use that word anymore. He actually picked me up with roses and chocolate and I thought it was corny at the time. But I still learned honey, that was the right way to go.

"Everything is kind of really fast. I have kind of dated just one guy off and on and he's a nice guy. I do like him and he's attractive and all those things. ... I don't know what the future holds."

The 'Outrageous Love With NeNe Leakes' star also explained that when it comes to forming a relationship with someone, she likes a man who will take her out for dinner on a weekly basis and travel with her as well.

She added: "I like a guy that likes to travel, likes to cuddle, likes to go on dates. I like to go on a date every week. Take me to a nice restaurant every week. "My favorite thing to do is to get dressed up and go to a dinner date.

"I think it is hard to date NeNe Leakes because guys are intimidated. There's no reason to be intimidated by me, honey. My heart is really soft."
