JoJo Siwais looking for love!

The 20-year-old star has spent the last year on a mission to stay single — but she’s now ready to heed the advice of herSpecial Forces: World’s Toughest TestcostarsTyler CameronandNick Viall, and let loose as she follows heart.

“Nick said I can be an idiot with love until I’m 21, so I’ve got six more months,” Siwa tells PEOPLE.

To that, Cameron, 30, takes it a step further, joking she should have that leeway until she’s at least 28 — advice Siwa is ready to take.

“I’ve got two older brothers here that are going to hold me accountable,” she says of theBachelorettealums. “And I think between the two of them, one of them is going to hold me accountable and the other’s going to be like, ‘Nah, get your ass out there. Go have fun.’”

Siwa says that in the beginning of 2023, she vowed to hold off on dating for a bit, as she was still reeling from her public relationship and “messy” subsequent breakup withex Avery Cyrus(The star has also been linked toKylie Prew, whom she dated on and off before breaking up in August 2022).

“I was like, ‘This year, nothing.’ And now I’m 11 months into nothing and I’m like ‘Damn, why did I say that?’ Because Mother Nature is holding me accountable to that,” she says. “I don’t know. I have a lot going on right now.”

While Siwa knows that her schedule is jam-packed, she admits that she’d still like “someone to come home to at night, and cuddle and have a peanut butter and jelly with.”

“I’m a lover. I crave that. But it’s good, because I know when I’m in a relationship, I prioritize it, and sometimes a little too much and I cut out friends, cut out family, cut out career, and I only focus on relationships,” she says. “So I think it’s good that I’m single right now.”

She continues: “I’m trying to enjoy being single. I enjoy when all my friends come to me with their relationship problems, I’m like, ‘Yeah, tell me about how much it sucks, please.’ It makes me feel good.”

Could Cameron and Viall play matchmaker for the young star? After Viall jokes that the trio should have their own show, Siwa quips, “Nick and Tyler, find me a wife!”

“I love it when it’s in the honeymoon phase, but then all of a sudden I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I’m 17 and married, you know what I mean?’” she said. “It feels wrong, and it feels like she wasn’t living my life, and I wasn’t living my life."
