The 52-year-old actress is friends with the politician and even appeared on former first ladyMichelle Obama'sIMOpodcast back in April. While on the show, Ross, Michelle and the latter's brother, Craig Robinson, answered a question about a listener's love life. In the process, they shared someinsight into their dating history. Ross reflected on the experience during a Thursday, Aug. 14 appearance onJimmy Kimmel Live, saying that she "had a great time" with Michelle and Robinson. The conversation then turned to her own love life, and Ross revealed that she felt that Barack had "failed" her as a friend in one key way after she went through a breakup. "Well, I broke up with someone, and I remember running into the former president. And he was like, 'I could have told you that,' " theblack-ishstar recalled. "And I was like, 'Well, you failed as a friend. Like, it was your job to say that before.' " Although Barack let her down in the moment, Ross said that she does "call about dating advice." One thing that she has not done yet is ask Barack and Michelle to set her up with a potential romantic partner. Saying that she doesn't enjoy dating apps because she feels like she's "shopping for a partner," Ross explained that she likes to find men "in the wild." "And I like to get set up. I have posed the question to many a friend," she continued, saying, "I've never asked Michelle to set me up, which I think perhaps is dumb, and I need to get on that." Although she was interested in the idea, Ross worried that she might have "missed" her chance. With the focus on her love life, Ross spoke toJimmy Kimmel Liveguest host Nicole Byer about the "very bad," "so awful" date that she recently found herself on. "I'm not going to tell the whole story, but in a nutshell, [we] sat down, the drinks came and he took out his phone, put it and leaned it on the glass and watched a basketball game," she recalled. https://people-app.onelink.me/HNIa/kz7l4cuf Michelle Obama/YouTube Ross said that she tried to handle the snub, explaining, "And then I leaned back, and I took a deep breath. And I was like, 'All right. Okay. I'm going to participate and lean in.' So I was like, 'So who's playing?' And he put his hand up. As in like, 'Don't let me miss anything.' " "And I was like, 'Ok.' So I got my phone, and I was like, 'I need to leave here.' I was texting my friends. I was like, 'This did not go well. This is not good,' " she concluded, adding that they only stayed for one drink. She didn't feel the spark, but the man might need a stronger hint. "My favorite is that he's continued texting," she said.
