Hannah Ann Sluss has revealed she'll be going on a date soon with a super "hot" guy who recently slid into her DMs, adding that she was "freaking out" with excitement when he first contacted her.

After The Bachelor's Season 24 star Peter Weber called off their engagement and blindsided her with a breakup, Hannah Ann declared last month she's single and "ready to mingle."
And there's a man out there who apparently took advantage of that!

Although Hannah Ann didn't reveal the mystery man's identity who has caught her interest, the Tennessee model -- who will be moving to Los Angeles, CA -- gushed about wanting to get to know him better during the March 25 episode of The Viall Files podcast, which is hosted by former The Bachelor star Nick Viall.

"The move was: He slid into my DMs and I was, like, freaking out. I was like, 'Oh my gosh!'" Hannah Ann recalled, adding that it was "definitely someone cool" who hit on her.
"I was like, 'You're so hot!' I was excited," she added.
Hannah Ann confirmed this will be her first real date since breaking up with Peter in January.
"I actually haven't been out on a legit date yet," Hannah Ann confirmed.
"And now, I'm definitely getting to know some people. There's one person in particular I'm excited to go on a date with after [virus concerns subside]."

Hannah Ann is currently self-quarantining in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, so for now, she's going to have to get to know this guy over the phone and FaceTime.
"[My romance] is going to be kept private until [I'm ready to share]... He's someone that's been really nice and I'm excited to get to know more... It's nice to have private conversations and slowly get to know someone," Hannah Ann revealed.

Nick naturally asked Hannah Ann for more details on this guy -- including his profession -- but she treaded lightly and would only give away that he's "not a musician."
In terms of what she's looking for in her future partner, Hannah Ann threw some shade at Peter by saying she wants "someone that is decisive."

"Someone [who] just knows what they want and has shown that, just in the little things," Hannah Ann explained.
"[Someone who] is aware and someone who is emotionally really strong... Someone that has had a major setback and was able to come back from it. Someone family oriented as well."
Hannah Ann, however, confirmed she and this mystery man are not exclusive and she's not looking to become exclusive with anyone for "a while."
"[I'm] taking things slow and getting to know the person on a day-to-day basis," Hannah Ann said, adding that she'll use her "instincts" when dating this person.
Nick then asked if Hannah Ann would consider becoming this person's girlfriend if they hit it off and he definitely meets her qualifications.

"I'm going to take things really slow. I'm going to enjoy my free time and just focus on myself, my family and friends, and see where that takes me," Hannah Ann said on the podcast.
"I am very straightforward. I don't play games. When I'm with someone, I am all in. And I want to enjoy some time growing my own self before I go all in with someone, because I'm very committed."
"When I'm in something, I jump right in and am very loyal," she added.
Hannah Ann admitted she needs to be more cautious and guarded going into her next relationship.
"I want to be more careful next time... Careful as in whom I give my heart to," Hannah Ann noted. "I'm going to be single for awhile... I'm not tied down."
Nick could definitely relate to Hannah Ann because he had finished as the runner-up on both Andi Dorfman and Kaitlyn Bristowe's respective seasons of The Bachelorette and got his heart broken both times before handing out roses on The Bachelor's 21st season in 2016.
On The Bachelor this season, Madison Prewett was Peter's frontrunner for his final rose but quit the show before the Final Rose Ceremony because she was worried they weren't compatible and she didn't want Peter to change for her.

Peter therefore proposed marriage to Hannah Ann at the Final Rose Ceremony in Australia since she had been so open and reassuring about her love for him. But Peter broke up with her after realizing he couldn't give the bachelorette his entire heart.
"I was completely blindsided. Word of advice: If you want to be with a woman, you need to become a real man," Hannah Ann told Peter during the live finale on March 10.

She added, "The most hurtful part is that you didn't respect me enough to sit me down and have that open conversation with me [about Madison], to tell me exactly where your heart was at prior to me saying 'yes' to something I had no idea I was walking into."
Following Peter's split with Hannah Ann, The Bachelor host Chris Harrison played matchmaker and informed Madison -- who admitted she regretting leaving Peter in Australia and still loved him -- that Peter was single again, setting up a reunion for the pair that resulted in them getting back together.
However, Peter's family had no shame in voicing their disapproval of Peter and Madison's revived romance, and Peter and Madison announced two days later on March 12 they had mutually decided to part ways.
In Peter's statement on Instagram announcing his breakup, he said of Hannah Ann, "You set an example for women everywhere a couple nights ago. You are such a strong, confident woman and you deserve all the love in the world. I accept full responsibility for my mistakes in our relationship and wish you only the best."
