First Lady Michelle Obama doled out some dating advice in an interview with Glamour Magazine. Mrs. Obama says: "Cute's good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it's: Who are you as a person? Don't look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul."
She continued, "When you’re dating a man, you should always feel good. You shouldn't be in a relationship with somebody who doesn't make you completely happy and make you feel whole."
Mrs. Obama's interview is teased as a look back at her big year and answers to "your" questions. She also addressed the question of her unconventional fashion sense, which has raised eyebrows in some quarters.

She said: "People are always going to have opinions, and people have a right to their opinions, particularly when you’re the First Lady, you’re representing the nation. So I can’t be surprised that people are interested."
The beautiful First Lady added, "But I've tried to be at peace with the choices that I make first, and then be open to everyone else’s reflection."
