Actress Vivica A. Fox hasn’t given up on finding her dream guy.

At 48, Fox says she’s single and loving it. In a recent interview with EURweb, the star, whose 10-month engagement to 29-year-old club promoter Omar “Slimm” White ended abruptly in 2011, opens up about the value of holding out for the right man.

“I’m gonna wait for Mr. Right to come along and take my time,” Fox said. “I’m just enjoying just having a little me time, you know? But it’s not that I’m not taking applications.”

But, you won’t find her browsing any online dating sites. “I think people lie on the Internet. I would prefer to meet someone in person, and I need to have chemistry when we meet and spend a little time, and have a couple of dates,” she said, who currently hosts Lifetime’s reality show Prank My Mom, where kids play pranks on their parents to prove their love.

We say, good for you, Vivica!
