Former Vice President Kamala Harris is offering a bit of cheeky dating advice.
On Tuesday, Dec. 23, the politician, 61, appeared on the Rich Little Brokegirls podcast to chat about her new book, 107 Days. During her conversation with host Kimberly Bizu, Harris shared advice for single people looking to meet a partner.
"The important piece of this, though, for anyone who is single, who wants to be in a relationship, is to be kind to yourself and choose to be with someone who is kind," she began. "That's really important. Choose to be with someone who allows you to laugh at yourself and them."
As she continued, she emphasized the importance of being with someone you can enjoy all of life's moments with. "Choose to be with someone you like going to the grocery store together, taking a walk together, and doing something fancy together," she continued.
"There are different phases in your life," Harris noted. "Depending on what phase you're in, maybe you're going to choose that you want to have that kind of Friday night relationship or you want that Sunday morning relationship," she said through her own laughter, prompting Bizu to laugh alongside her.
"Sometimes they go together and sometimes...," Bizu interjected, before Harris added, "And sometimes you can get both, and sometimes it's oil and water."
She acknowledged that the differences are still "okay." She then added, "Be in those phases where you are having fun. Be in those phases where you have a sense of I just want something more."
Harris stressed the importance of people being "honest" with themselves and of figuring out whether the phase and relationship they're in are what they "actually want." She said, "But the first step is to be honest about what you're in. And not try and make it something that it's not because that usually doesn't work out so well."
The advice comes amid Harris' 11-year marriage to her husband, Doug Emhoff. The couple met in 2013 when they were set up on a blind date by Harris' friend, Chrisette Hudlin. The couple tied the knot in August 2014 in Santa Barbara, Calif.
However, Harris revealed in an interview with CBS News' Sunday Morning in January 2020 that the date wasn't technically blind -- on her end -- since she Googled her future husband before she met him.
Harris recalled in her memoir, The Truths We Hold: An American Journey, that Emhoff, 61, was straightforward with her after their first date. "The morning after our first date, Doug emailed me with a list of his available dates for the next couple of months," she wrote.
The email read: "I'm too old to play games or hide the ball. I really like you, and I want to see if we can make this work."
In the years since their first date, they've shared how they prioritize their relationship even as Harris served as vice president. According to Emhoff, the pair starts and ends their days together.
"We try to approach those moments as husband and wife, not vice president and second gentleman," Emhoff told PEOPLE in November 2023. "It's really our time to be a couple ... time talking about kids, family and very little about the workings of our days."
