Renowned Nigerian singer and Grammy award-winner, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has provided a glimpse into her perspective on romantic relationships.
Tems disclosed that she becomes aware of a man's romantic interest only when it is explicitly expressed. The Oscar-nominated music star explained that she refrains from flirting with men because she tends to inadvertently "accelerate things too much."
In her own words:
"My problem is I do not realize when they are doing it because I assume the position of a sister, a friend, so when I speak, I am not flirting."
"I feel like I have been dodging it for so long that I genuinely do not know when it is happening until it is in my face, and they will be like ‘Look I like you.'"
"I do want to be a friend unless I actually like this person. If I call you my gee, and I feel something, I will still say, 'Oh yeah, my gee,' but you are not my gee. My problem is, I am 0 over 100."
"If I am flirting, it is too much; it is like really intense, and it is either that or I do nothing. Because I always feel like I accelerate things too much."
The 'Me & U' hitmaker had previously expressed her preference for dating someone significantly smarter than her, making it challenging for her to "manipulate" the relationship. Tems continues to navigate her love life with a unique approach, emphasizing the importance of genuine connection and expressing a reluctance to engage in casual flirtation.
