Temilade Openiyi, a.k.a. Tems, a Nigerian musician, has disclosed that she has never been in love but that she hopes to change that eventually.
“I haven’t been in love. Loving someone for me is more of ‘I see you and I still want to be in your life. Even though you annoy me sometimes, I choose you and I choose you.’
“I would like to be in love, to experience something deep but really real not blind. I don’t believe that love is blind, I think if you really love someone you’re loving them with your eyes open,” Tems explained.
She went on to say that accepting someone for who they are is a necessary part of true love, emphasizing that when two people are truly in love, they continue to love even in the face of their partner’s vulnerability.
Regarding meeting new people, Tems stated that she typically discerns men’s intents. She went on to list the qualities she values in a mate.
She said, “The thing is I know their intentions most of the time. They have one intention, like most guys. They’re very obvious, so how can I trust this conversation we’re having? It’s not even real. Everything you say is fake.
“Once I see that, I’m like ‘Omo.’ I have things that I’m looking for. You have to be emotionally intelligent, very funny and spiritually adept, inclined and mature. But to boys who like me, show me.”
