She added: 'Sometimes all it takes is a conversation, and then things can be sorted.
'But when I was younger, you did something like that's it ... So it's something that, you know, sometimes you just need to communicate.'
The 23-year-old admitted she's not one for returning to ex partners and said: 'Once you're out, that's it, there's no coming back.'
As for the red flags she looks out for in other people, Alima isn't a fan of men admiring other women on social media.
'I just don't like guys on social media a lot, liking girls pictures. That's a red flag and ick for me,' she said.
Alima has an BA Hons degree in International Business after graduating from Glasgow Caledonian University.
She also loves to travel, sharing holiday snaps with her 2,250 followers.
Alima said she is looking for a 'a tall man with a handsome face. You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That's it.'
She is no doubt set to wow them with her flirting skills, as she revealed what lines she uses on men when trying to make a connection.
Alima said: 'I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I'm originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number.
'But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don't want to give a guy your number.
'I'm originally from Guinea Bissau. If they're close and I really fancy them, I'll give them my number anyway.'
