NFL broadcaster Kay Adams has been the face of two popular football shows over the past 10 years, and she revealed in a recent podcast that she was looking to get into the dating scene.
Adams, 39, appeared on the latest episode of the “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast and talked more about her love life and what she looks for in a potential suitor and whether she thinks she’s finally ready to settle down.

But what makes the time right?
“I don’t think I ever really knew what I wanted. I think I was always in survival mode – what’s next,” she told Taylor Lewan and Will Compton. “How am I going to survive and move forward? It’s a question of life. Now I feel like I’m happy with where I am. I’m settled. I’m a little calmer. I feel like I’m a little more capable of being there for someone else.”
Adams added that her dating experience is minimal and she was more looking for a relationship than playing on the field.
“I realized the truth is that I have very little dating experience. I’m a dating girl. By the time you’re so persistent that I go on a first date with you, we’re already in love. You’re my boyfriend… In all my relationships, the first date is like, yeah, now it’s starting.

“I’ve had very few first dates. Like, very recently, I’ve had first dates where I was like, ‘Oh, is this what you do? And I don’t know you? And now we’re going to get to know each other. Like, ick, I don’t like that.'”
She said an ideal first date would be a “comfortable dinner” and the man “has to pay.”
“And romantic and should be entirely planned by man, generally speaking.”
When it comes to a man’s characteristics, Adams said she looks for “intelligence and wit,” “loyalty and reliability” and needs someone to make her feel safe.
Adams made it clear to anyone watching or listening to the podcast that she was “just having a good time right now.”
