In fact, when it comes to choosing a potential new mate, the twice-married star is coming equipped with a strict dating 'manifesto', reports Woman's Day. An insider told the publication that Nicole will be jumping back into the dating pool with very little patience for 'time wasters'.  'She knows what she likes now and she's not afraid to only aim for what she believes she is worth,' they said. The source added that Nicole had some stringent requirements for a potential new love interest, including a 'no actor' policy. Newly single Nicole Kidman could very well be ready to mingle following her split from ex-husband Keith Urban When it comes to choosing a potential new mate, the twice-married star is coming equipped with a strict dating 'manifesto', reports Woman's Day  They did, however, add that the Babygirl star would entertain another romance with a music industry beau as she enjoyed being on the 'fringe of Keith's entirely different world'.  It was also suggested that the trait that Nicole is looking for most in a man is 'kindness'.  Children are okay, too, as long as they are close in age to Nicole's daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15. 'A kind guy who is clean, sober, successful, and won't turn into a broke beta-male cling-on and [she] doesn't mind if he's got kids, but ideally doesn't want them to be any younger than her daughters.'  The source also claimed that 'virility' was a very important trait for Nicole's new man to possess. Regardless of Nicole's dating prerequisites, potential beaus will still have to run the gamut of Nicole's close and protective circle of friends for final approval. 'Nicole's leaving the bulk of the vetting to her circle of friends,' the source said. 'She refuses to even have coffee with someone unless they've been personally recommended to her by a friend she implicitly trusts.' 'She knows what she likes now and she's not afraid to only aim for what she believes she is worth,' an insider told the publication The source added that Nicole had some stringent requirements for a potential new love interest, including a 'no actor' policy Nicole and Keith announced they were calling time on their 19-year marriage in September last year, finalising their divorce in January. In the wake of the news, US sexologist and relationship therapist, Sofie Roos told Daily Mail that Nicole should: 'look outside the industry, or at least away from the red carpet.' 'I think she would benefit from having a relationship out from the spotlight, which would give a greater chance of building something in private and at her own pace,' she added.  'Maybe someone behind the camera?' Her only warning: steer clear of anyone 'wanting to date her as a trophy.' As for her dream match? Sofie calls Colin Firth 'a classy comeback,' adding, 'He's low key, safe and would most likely be a stable and good man for her, especially now.' Amber Lee, co-founder of elite matchmaking firm Select Date Society, echoed Sophie's sentiment. 'I'd love to see her with someone outside of Hollywood,' Amber said, suggesting 'a philanthropic entrepreneur or a global thought leader with intelligence and calm confidence,' would be a great match. If she were to date within the industry, however, Amber said she thinks The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal would be an incredible match. The source also claimed Nicole was looking for: 'A kind guy who is clean, sober, successful, and won't turn into a broke beta-male cling on and [she] doesn't mind if he's got kids, but ideally doesn't want them to be any younger than her daughters.' Regardless of Nicole's dating prerequisites, potential beaus will still have to run the gamut of Nicole's close and protective circle of friends for final approval. 'Nicole's leaving the bulk of the vetting to her circle of friends,' the source said. Nicole is pictured with sister Antonia 'He is charming while staying grounded. I could envision the two of them having a genuine connection,' she says. As she dips her toe back into the dating pool, Lee warns that 'men will be drawn to the idea of Nicole Kidman.' 'She needs someone who is going to fall in love with the woman, not the actress. The right man will not try to dim her light or outshine her. He will quietly protect her,' Lee cautions. For now, at least, it seems that Nicole is enjoying her own company and that of those closest to her. In February, Nicole gave Keith a tantalising glimpse of what he's missing with a racy Valentine's Day photo.  'Happy Galentine's,' she wrote over a picture of herself sitting in bed wearing pink striped pyjama tops without the bottoms, a doona draped over her lap. 'Galentine's Day' was popularised in 2010 by a Parks and Recreation episode of the same name, in which the Amy Poehler character Leslie Knope throws a bash for her female friends on the eve of Valentine's Day.

The Academy Award-winning actress officially divorced Keith Urban in early January after nearly 20 years together. She has reportedly set out a “manifesto” that all eligible bachelors must adhere to if they want to date her. She has a strong sense of who she wants in a partner and doesn’t want her time wasted by people. There is at least one career that she is not interested in as a romantic match. Photo Credit: Michael Buckner/Billboard via Getty Images Any Hollywood stars who want to date Nicole will be out of luck. According to the Australian publication Woman’s Day, her manifesto includes no actors. Despite her recent break-up, though, she’s apparently open to seeing someone in the music industry. Kindness is a must for her; in fact, perhaps the most important trait one must possess to woo Nicole. Sources say that she is drawn to someone “who is clean, sober, successful, and won’t turn into a broke beta-male cling-on.” Apparently, she is also ok with dating someone who has children. That is, if they are close in age to her kids, 17-year-old Sunday Rose and 15-year-old Faith Margaret. Things between Keith and Nicole apparently came to a boiling point last summer. Despite the direction their relationship was going, the ex-wife of Tom Cruise was said to be trying to keep it together with Keith. Following her divorce filing, there were suggestions that Nicole would get back together with Keith immediately if possible. Winning Nicole’s heart might not be enough to date the acclaimed actress. Reports indicate that you will have to earn the approval of Nicole’s inner circle before getting the go-ahead to date her. Without a glowing reference from that group, one apparently can’t even enjoy a simple cup of coffee with the Babygirl star. TELL US – WILL NICOLE KIDMAN’S MANIFESTO SCARE AWAY ELIGIBLE BACHELORS?
