Holmes is really looking forward as she clearly moves on from her failed marriage of five years.

According to a source close to the "Dawson's Creek" actress, Katie Holmes is keen to getting close with someone after being lonely most of the time while she was married to Tom Cruise. "She's been lonely for a while with Tom's long absences on film shoots and she's aching for some company," the source told Now magazine. "Katie still can't believe she's finally free to make her own choices," the source added.

The 33-year old actress is reported to have compiled a list of the hottest eligible bachelors in Hollywood that she would look forward to have a date with in the near future. Included in the said list are the following: actor Jake Gyllenhall, singer John Mayer and the young heartthrob Zac Efron.
