Michelle Obama advises her daughters Malia and Sasha to date often in order to gain confidence and experience in navigating the dating scene. During a recent podcast episode, she emphasized the importance of staying open to different people. Drawing from her own experiences, she explained that dating frequently allowed her to better appreciate her eventual partner, Barack Obama. She and her husband share their dating histories with their daughters to normalize the concept of dating, encouraging them to move on from negative experiences quickly.
"I just try to get them to stay open to people. The thing that I did do was date a lot. And so when Barack showed up, I had experiences to compare him against."
"We try to sort of educate the girls by sharing our experiences. So my whole thing is date. Date a lot, and if you run into a bad date or have a bad experience, move on quickly."
