After a rough year post-Scandoval, Rachel Leviss is ready to enjoy the summer and date. But she’s doing it in a mindful way.
Rachel notably checked into a voluntary mental health facility after filming the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion. And she’s applying everything she’s learned there into her dating life.
So, while the VPR alum is ready to have a “fun, summer fling,” she will only do so within the parameters of her comfort zone.
Rachel is looking for “deep conversations” on a date
During a recent episode of her podcast, Rachel Goes Rogue, the former reality TV star gushed that she’s “ready to date” after having “gotten my life in order enough where I’m open to that.”
“I’m looking forward to it. I’m looking for someone who is safe and reliable and emotionally mature, emotionally stable, and someone who’s gonna treat me right,” Rachel said of finding a suitable match.
The former VPR star is manifesting a “fun summer fling that could lead to something more serious.” But it’s also about Rachel expanding her “own experience” and learning “more about myself.”
Rachel revealed that at her therapists suggested she try “not to sleep with somebody” before dating “at least” three months.
“I definitely wouldn’t sleep with someone on the third date, especially because I already have a reputation,” she explained. “[I] don’t need people making assumptions about me being easy.”
“I tried this dating experience with the new person that approached me and asked me on a date. I intentionally wanted to take it slow,” she added.
Referring to her affair with former co-star Tom Sandoval, Rachel said, “and then with Tom, it was like it was a secret relationship that I was thinking with my heart and not logically. I wanted to have sex, and we did. So maybe it’s like a balancing act.”
Rachel hopes her three months rule will encourage connecting “on a deeper level,” though she does admit some may find it “a little extreme.”
“I do enjoy deep conversations,” she revealed.
You can see Rachel in past seasons of Vanderpump Rules, streaming on Peacock.
