Girlfriends' Guide - Porsha Williams has been keeping busy lately. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star just launched Go Naked, her hair extentions line, in between her budding music career (more on that later!) and filming scenes for her hit show. After weathering a very public divorce, she’s keeping just as busy in her romantic life, too. “I’m mingling! I have someone who I feel is very special. However, I’m still keeping my options open,” she says. While the reality TV star is keeping tight-lipped about her mystery man for now, she shares exclusively with BET.com everything a single woman should know about finding Mr. Right and bouncing back after a breakup.

How Single Ladies Do Valentine’s Day - February 14 is right around the corner, and Porsha says this is the perfect time to celebrate your independence. “Have a Valentine’s Day singles party! I did it one time before and I may do it this Valentine’s Day. No couples allowed, only singles. Everybody just gets together for cocktails and some food and talk about why we’re happy being single and just focus on the positive.” (Photo: Porsha Williams via Instagram)

How to Get Over Him - Sorry ladies, there’s no quick fix for this one. But allow yourselves to feel those emotions if you want to heal, Porsha says. “The best way to really get over an ex is to absorb and acknowledge the breakup. Acknowledge it, feel it, let those emotions play out. Surround yourself with family and friends who are encouraging and who are going to build you back up because you’re broken down. And then, after that, just get up and dust yourself off. Put your makeup on, get your weave tight, and go on with life!” (Photo: Porsha Williams via Instagram)

Avoid the “Breakup Blues” - “Keep yourself busy, that way you don’t have to sit around and think about the relationship over and over [again],” she says. “Concentrate on positive things you have going on with your life. For me, the way I got through it, I was in the studio and I poured my heart out into some songs that I will be releasing in the next couple of weeks.” (Photo: Porsha Williams via Instagram)

Rebuild Your Confidence - “The only way that you’re going to feel confident is if you present a complete person to the dating world. For me, although I didn’t take a lot of time before putting myself out there, throughout the whole process I made sure I was completing myself business-wise, spiritually, gathering in my mind what I wanted out of a man. Also, take care of yourself! You’ll attract positive people who want to get to know who you really are.” (Photo: Porsha Williams via Instagram)

Be OK With Being Alone - Feeling like you’re destined to be single forever? “The main thing is to love yourself," she says. "Even if you end up by yourself the next couple of years, you’re good. Love is going to come your way." (Photo: Porsha Williams via Instagram)

Looking for Mr. Right - “Don’t go to the club and think you’re going to meet the next father of your children. Go to really nice events, empowering events or business events where people are doing something with their lives. Restaurants are great, but I wouldn’t sit at the bar. That, to me, just looks a little desperate,” she says. “Sit there and look approachable and it will happen.” She’s a fan of happy hour. “If nothing else, you’ll see him dressed his best, as most people come after work and still have their suits on.” (Photo: Porsha Williams via Instagram)

Keep Your Expectations in Check - When you’re first stepping out on the dating scene, “Don’t rush it!” she says. “Don’t put too many expectations on one guy. When you’re out there dating, [you should] feel like you just want to get to know new people as opposed to, ‘Are you my husband?’ Just get to know them and the relationship will develop naturally.” (Photo: TNYF/WENN.com)

Balance Your Time - Making time for yourself, your girlfriends and dating is a constant juggling act, but Porsha may have cracked the code. “I include my girlfriends on date time," she says. "A lot of times when you’re a single woman and you live alone, you just don’t want to go out with someone one on one. For me, I’m nervous. A couple of times, I have taken a friend with me.” (Photo: Porsha Williams via Instagram)

Get Serious - While you don’t want to put too much pressure on whether he’s “the one,” ask yourself these questions if you want a long-term relationship with him. “In the beginning, see if he’s a family man or not. If he has kids, is he taking care of them?” the reality TV star says. “Is he close with his family? Number two, which should probably be number one, is he a God-fearing man? Does he have some principles and discipline in his life?”  (Photo: Go Naked Hair)

Dating Don’ts - Porsha dishes on a few dating behaviors to stop now if you want to attract more love in your life. “The first thing to ditch is talking about your ex. The second thing would be talking about your expectations for the next relationship.” Third, she says, is not presenting yourself as a person with ambitions. “Always sound like you’re doing something [with your life]. People want to be with a winner, so sound like one.” (Photo by: Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank)

Dating Deal Breakers - And you may want to swerve on him altogether if he’s guilty of talking about is ex or looking for opportunities to bring her up, she says. “A deal breaker would be a man who isn’t taking care of his kids. If he’s not taking care of their needs, he’s not going to take care of yours." And be sure he has his own life ambitions. “[If he’s] a man without a purpose, then any little dream or whatever you come up with to do in your life, he’s going to be jealous of. You want someone who if he’s not there yet, he at least has potential and has aspirations in his life.” (Photo: Jeff Schear/Getty Images for ESPN)
