Tyler Cameron is still not in the right mindset to become the next lead on ‘The Bachelor.”

“I just think it’s timing. There’s things I want to try and do for myself still. I want to try to find a relationship for myself on my own,” the reality star, 30, tells the Post, while promoting his new partnership with Eventbrite.

“I don’t believe in doing anything unless your heart is fully into it. And so I just don’t know,” he continues. “I would never say no, though. Never say never. So I think, you know, it could happen later on in life.”

Cameron was introduced to Bachelor Nation when he appeared on Season 15 of “The Bachelorette,” placing second on the Hannah Brown-led season. He’d go on to be linked to Gigi Hadid (including when he went to the Netherlands for her grandmother’s funeral), fellow franchise alum Kristina Schulman, Kylie Jenner’s BFF Stassie Karanikolaou and Kristin Cavallari.

Cameron thinks the biggest misconception that the public has about him is that he doesn’t “ever want to settle down.

“I think they all think I just want to be, like, out and single and having fun all the time. But I think that switch for me is flipped,” he explained. “I want to settle in and I want to kind of build out my life and family and career and everything. I moved back home to Florida to kind of focus on that. So that’s kind of been where my head’s at lately.”

Cameron is currently renovating his new house while looking for The One. (“I got to find somebody down here in Florida. That’s what I’m looking for right now,” he said.) But he still would return to TV if a hosting gig came along.

“I think it’s a great opportunity. Great job. It’d be a lot of fun,” he said of hosting any of the Bachelor Nation franchises.

“I think Wells [Adams] has a fantastic job. Wells is probably the hardest job to replace because I think it takes a special person to be the bartender [on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’]. I think Jessie [Palmer’s] done a great job as well with ‘The Bachelor.’ Jessie’s got the coolest job in the world. Show up, travel around the world, be supportive and say a few words here and there and be gone. It’s like the best job ever.

“I think I would be good for the contestants,” he added of hosting “The Bachelor,” which previously was helmed by Chris Harrison. “I feel like I’d be good to help them through the feeling of craziness. It would kind of be cool because the host is usually with the lead most of the time. I think I would want to be with the contestants [more], and mix it up with them a little bit.”

As Cameron’s future within the franchise is up in the air, he’s staying busy with his partnership with Eventbrite. He shared his dating tips for the campaign, which include choosing first date ideas that go outside the usual dinner and drinks.

“I always used to be a big believer in it, but then I got into some bad dates. I’m like, ‘God, can I get out of here?’ … [You] definitely want to do things that would be fun and get you out of doing things that are kind of not in a typical daily element. ’90s hip hop or ’90s dance parties, roller rink parties. Those kind of throwbacks that I think would be fun to relive and do,” he said. “My dad always told me — you got to go out there swinging … I think we limit ourselves so much with what we want to do or we get so stressed out about trying to pick out the perfect night or whatever. It’s not that big of a deal.”
