-Are we cuffing or are we creeping?
Miss Keke Palmer,
both of those things are very aspirational
for me, personally, the way my life's set up right now.
-Hey, what's up, y'all, it's your girl Keke Palmer,
and today we are talking love,
relationships, dating, all of that good stuff.
I mean, we have spent so much time inside,
so my Unbothered fam and I decided
let's take it to the streets.
Right now, we're in Hilltop Coffee + Kitchen Café
black-owned.
Oh, my gosh. Amazing. In Inglewood.
Let's get into it and eat.
All right. How are you doing today, love?
I'm wonderful.
You know, first I want to start off with a little bit of coffee.
Just give me some straight black, just like I like it.
So how do we feel about sliding into DM?
-I would like for someone to slide into my DMS first,
but I will reciprocate the energy.
-The proper way to slide in somebody's DMs?
-Employed. -Oh!
-If you're going to slide into somebody's DMs,
you're gonna need to be able to take whatever comes with that.
-I heard that.
-You can always compliment me. That's always going to work.
Tell me I look good, pretty in pink, whatever.
I'd like, oh, tell me some more. I love it.
-You know, shoot for the gusto. Go for it.
Whether you're a woman or a man, primarily like, don't be lame.
Just, you know, be yourself and just, you know, keep it 100.
-How is your sliding into DMs accuracy rate?
-So that's not as great.
But you know, the law of averages,
you got to put -- you got -- -Guess what? Mine isn't either.
I just blame it on the requests. They didn't see it.
-I don't believe you, but it's...
-Are we creepin' or are we cuffin' this season?
-Wait, it's cuffing season. I heard.
-Wait a minute. When you heard it was cuffing season at?
-Man, last time I checked, you know,
everybody trying to be booed up, you know?
So it's cuffing.
But some people creeping, you know, it's summertime.
So some people might be -- it might be 50/50.
-Are you looking for somebody? -Not this homecoming season,
but I think cuffing and creeping
aren't always mutually exclusive.
-Wait, wait a minute.
-Yeah, it depends on who you're cuffing,
they might creep with you. -Wait -- wait a minute.
So we talking a little open relationship vibes.
-See, I thought I was going to be down for the relationship.
-Girl, wait a minute.
-Then I was given the opportunity
for a relationship with a beautiful guy.
He was an amazing person. He was good to me.
But I'm not ready. It's me time.
Like I need to focus and grind on myself.
-I'm going to say we're going to have some fun
and maybe even some single fun just by myself.
-Have you ever had a roster? -A roster? Hmm.
-Like okay, we think of sports.
We thinking a lineup, you know.
Have you ever had a lineup of loves in your life
where you're entertaining more than one person than
one person at one time?
-So there's definitely been a moment
where I've had somebody like down like you
send them down to Florida, they're on the D leaves
like maybe they're coming up, maybe you got to cut them.
I don't know. I don't know.
-Girl, isn't it always like that?
It's like I always got a few bench riders
just waiting for a chance to jump on in.
-You know, I'm still building mine right now.
This is still happening.
Yes, we still -- -So we're into the --
-Open tryouts. Yes.
-I had that once. -Whoo!
-I didn't know it was called that, apparently.
So you just taught me something.
But I had just gotten out of a relationship
that I had mentally checked out of two years ago.
And so I was like, well, I guess I should date.
So I was just kind of seeing what it was.
None of them checked out to be really anything,
which I was cool with,
because then I had that experience, you know?
-Exactly. -I'm a consistent benchwarmer.
So... -I cannot with you.
-Not successful is that they're not all
at the same time like how I want it.
It's like I got the team captain
and now I'm trying to build the team.
It's like, why are these tryouts?
No one's showing up what's going on?
-I have. -Whoa! Okay.
What are we talking? Two, three, lineup?
-Maybe like a five-man team.
-Whoo!
-That's a good summer. -Whoo!
And that's what I'm talking about, ladies and gentlemen.
Now let's play a little game of this or that.
-All right, all right.
-Pay the first date versus splitting.
-Split. -Really? Why?
-Yeah, how much is a meal? Is it $300?
I could do 150.
I don't wanna pay for both of us.
I know I can cover my half.
-Group date versus solo. -Solo.
-If it's the first date, definitely solo.
I can do group dates.
-Okay, yeah. Solo scares me.
I don't know why I'm such a scaredy cat.
I'm just like you all up in my face
and I can't deflect from a moment.
Girl, I'm so that person wears like --
I make guys go on four group dates with me.
Me and my home girls. It's really a mess.
-Wow. -Girl, because I be nervous.
Bonnet outside versus bonnet just in bed.
-I ain't got hair so. -That answers that.
-Just in bed. -Yeah.
-Just in bed. -Me, too. Me, too.
I love the planet, though.
-I had a coworker give me some of the best advice.
She said dating is a skill and how can you be good at it
if you do not practice?
We practice all of our other skills
our work related skills.
Everything else is like,
why wouldn't I practice this skill
if I want it to lead to something lifelong?
-I love it.
Thank you so much for chillin' with us
and hanging out with my Unbothered fam.
You were -- you were amazing.
