Nigerian music star Temilade Openiyi, known worldwide as Tems, has opened up about the kind of men she does not see herself dating or marrying.
She spoke about this while chatting with an American media platform, where she explained the attitudes that make her lose interest in a potential partner.
The interview was published on December 8, 2025.
Tems said she cannot be with a man who is cold or unwilling to connect.
She said a relationship loses its purpose if the other person is not friendly or eager to know more about their partner.

She explained that any man who shows no interest in understanding who she is or learning more about her is not someone she can build a future with.
To her, staying in such a relationship does not make sense because it leaves no room for growth or closeness.
She also shared that she loves deeply, describing herself as a woman who enjoys giving affection.
However, she noted that past experiences have made her more cautious.
“My dating terms are someone who is not trying to be your friend is a red flag. Anybody that isn’t curious about you is also a red flag. Because what are we doing? Why are we here if you don’t want to know me?
“If he or she doesn’t want to know more about you, end the relationship,” she said.
