All she wants is some “Sweet Kisses.”

Jessica Simpson is only interested in dating good kissers after separating from estranged husband Eric Johnson.

The “Take My Breath Away” singer discussed her dating non-negotiables during an interview with Jenna Bush Hager on the “Today” show Wednesday.

While talking to the journalist, the 45-year-old singer shared that she is “ready” to date before admitting to being “slightly terrified.”

Bush Hager then offered to set her up with someone, prompting Simpson to reply enthusiastically, “Please!”

When asked if she looks for certain criteria in a man, the pop star explained that she likes to date unique people.

“My type of person is a one-of-a-kind,” she said. “I don’t have like, a look or anything like that. I just like for somebody to be individually who they are and exude confidence without the ego.”

Simpson noted that finding someone who is self-assured yet not conceited is “hard to find,” but she remains optimistic.

“I feel like it’s out there, and I don’t need somebody to be supportive of me all the time,” she said. “I feel like the independence I have right now, if I can have that and give it to someone else, that would be cool.”

The twice-married singer suggested that she wouldn’t be interested in tying the knot a third time, but that she is “very passionate” and loves love.

“I have a lot to give,” she said, before joking, “I feel like I’m on a dating app.”

Bush Hager, 43, assured Simpson that she doesn’t need to join a dating app because the NBC personality was going to find her a match.

Simpson then weighed in on her non-negotiable, saying that whoever she dates needs to be a skillful smoocher.

“It has to be a very good kisser,” she said, adding, “See, that’s like the most intimate thing. Grab my face and pull me in! Can you tell I need it?”

Bush Hager joked that she would have to call prospective men to ask if they could meet her makeout standards.

“Even if it’s just one night!” Simpson exclaimed.

The “Open Book” author is back on the market after announcing in January that she and Johnson, 45, had separated after 10 years of marriage.

Simpson and the former NFL player, who tied the knot in 2014, share three kids: daughters Maxwell Drew, 12, and Birdie Mae, 5, and 11-year-old son Ace Knute.

She was previously married to Nick Lachey from 2002 to 2006.
