ET recently spoke with Hudgens, where she opened up about being ready to get back in the dating game following her January split from longtime boyfriend Austin Butler

"Your girl's open," she quipped to ET of dating. "I feel like at the end of the day, it's just about having similar fundamentals and wanting the same things. Like, I am not picky, really. ... Like, I know what I want and I'm like, if someone comes into the picture and can give me all those things, then great, it doesn't matter if they're in the public eye or not -- if anything I prefer them not to be but we'll see, we'll see."

Prior to Butler, Hudgens dated her High School Musical co-star, Zac Efron, from 2005 to late 2010.
