Kim Kardashian 'needs a suit and tie man'

Kim Kardashian's best friend has claimed that the reality star needs to date a more sophisticated type of man.

Disc jockey and presenter La La Vazquez stated to PopEater that she had taken on the responsibility of finding Kardashian a new lover following her split from NFL player Miles Austin.

"I'm working on hooking her up on a blind date," she explained. "Kim doesn't go around saying, 'I want to be in love'. She's happy. She's enjoying her life, but as friends, when you see someone you like, you say, 'I want to hook you up with this person or that person'. That's just what friends do.

"For Kim, I'll look for a nice person. I do want him to be successful for her because that will be a similar thing. You don't always want to be carrying the load. That can get annoying after a while. What I'm looking for in her next blind date is a suit-and-tie guy. Something different."

Vazquez added that Kardashian enjoys revealing new developments in her romantic life and would certainly be honest about any man lined up for her.

"After the date, Kim will call me immediately. She might call me during the date. If she doesn't call at all, they are hanging out and that's a good sign."

Kardashian previously confessed that friends like to set her up on dates, as she has difficulty finding love in the spotlight.
