Are you trying to score a shot at Nick Cannon's heart? We got you covered.

Well, we can't guarantee anything, so don't get too excited, but we can tell you what the 35-year-old celeb is looking for in a partner—and if that's you, let's just go with it, yeah?

E! News caught up with the actor today in Harlem, New York, where he announced the launch of NCREDIBLE, a RadioShack-exclusive product line that offers "cool and affordable matte headsets that rivals all the other ones on the market."

But we'll get to that.

Cannon, who split from ex-wife Mariah Carey in late 2014, tells E! News he's "enjoying" the single life, but "I'm not really focusing on it." Regardless, when we hit him with a question about what his online dating profile would say if he had one, it seemed like Nick had given it some thought.

"It would be, 'likable, long walks in the park,' I don't even know how to begin with that stuff, but all I know is I would try to be as honest and sincere about that stuff and not expecting anything and not putting too much weight on anything and just looking for someone to enjoy good company."

As for what he values in a woman? "Honesty. That's probably more than anything, honesty. And someone that has a sense of humor. Those are the two things I need."  

But right now, Cannon is more focused on his multiple business endeavors—and his 4-year-old daughter's love life. Yep, you read that right.

When we asked the entrepreneur what dating advice he'd give his twins Monroe and Moroccan once the time comes, he revealed that his little girl has already found someone special. In fact, she broke the news to her famous father that she's married! LOL

"My daughter came to me, and I don't even know if she knew exactly what she was talking about, but the other day she told me she was married and I did not even know how to react," he explains.

"My knees just buckled and I was like, 'You're married?!' Luckily, it was a boy that is like my godson and I said, 'You're not married to him,' but I couldn't even explain it to her because...does that mean you're attracted to him? Why are you calling this little boy your husband? The boy did not talk to me about this first! He is supposed to come check, and when did the ceremony go down? I was crushed when she said that to me!"

Aw, the difficulties of dad life.

He continues, "I don't know what I would say to her, but obviously, my son, that's easy. I can talk to him. He is enjoying it. I just bought him the Sports Illustrated magazine Sunday. Me and him are on the same page, but my daughter, I don't even know how I am going to handle it!"

Cannon also notes that co-parenting with Mariah has been "amazing," and has "put everything in the proper perspective. I think it actually allows us to be better parents, because when it's that time, we don't think about ourselves at all. We are extremely selfless and make it all about the kids."

The rapper's latest business venture is something close to his heart, because it's not just about the product, it's about the community. "We are going all over the country to throw events like this to let people know that we truly are here. We are in the community. It's not about Radio Shack being back, because we never left, and that's the thing. We won't be overlooked and also the people in our community won't be overlooked."

But, Cannon also made sure his line is fly. "I wanted everything to be colorful but still be smooth, sleek and it's stylish," and then laughed, "Beats By Dre has nothing on these!"
