She’ll do anything for a full love tank!

Newly single Vicki Gunvalson revealed she hired a matchmaker in hopes of finding her soulmate.

“I’m on my fourth date with a guy from Chicago with the matchmaker,” the “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum said on Thursday’s episode of the “Two T’s in a Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge” podcast. “He’s picking me up from the airport when I get to Chicago.”

Gunvalson, 59, didn’t share the mystery man’s name, but she did reveal that he’s 55 years old.

“[He] and I are gonna see each other next week when I’m in town,” she continued, noting that she’s been spending the last three weeks at her home in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

“He’s in Chicago, because I will only date a Midwestern man. … We’ll be on date four next week.”

The mystery man could be the same one Gunvalson was spotted on a date with in Chicago right after the holidays.

During her appearance on the podcast, the Coto Insurance founder elaborated on the many qualities she’s looking for in a man – including “good teeth,” “non-smoker,” “family man,” “self-sufficient,” “entrepreneur,” “must love Jesus” and “confident,” among many others.

“I want a relationship. … I want a non-lying, perfect relationship, which is what I thought I had with my fiancé,” she said, referring to her ex Steve Lodge.

Gunvalson and Lodge, 63, announced their breakup in September after a two-year engagement and nearly five years together. He has since gotten engaged to Janis Carlson.

“I’ll never be over him, because to me, when you fall in love with somebody as deep as I did, you don’t just move out of somebody’s house and into the next one,” she said of Lodge’s recent engagement.

The former Bravolebrity also shared that she “didn’t want to lose” Lodge so she tried “toning it down,” which she thinks ultimately led to her demise on “RHOC.”

Luckily, Gunvalson is getting over her ex’s new engagement by hosting a “breakup party” at Kings of Hustler male revue, located on the rooftop of Las Vegas’ Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club, on Feb. 5, Page Six exclusively reported.
