David Upchurch escorted the then 18-year-old Michelle Robinson to the prom at Whitney M Young High School in Chicago in 1982.
Now a customer service representative and divorced father of three living in a modest house in Colorado Springs, he said that their romance went nowhere.
He claimed he had "pretty much forgotten" their prom date together and couldn't even recall if it ended with a kiss.
Mr Upchurch, the first of Mrs Obama's former boyfriends to speak publicly about their relationship, knew her family from an early age as they were both raised in Chicago's South Side.
"I grew up with Michelle and her brother Craig. We were neighbours and our families were close."
After his father died, Michelle's father, Fraser, took him "under his wing" and helped him to deal with his loss, he said.
They "began dating" when Michelle was in the middle of her junior year at high school –when she would have been 16 or 17 – and continued to see each other for a year and a half, until she graduated, he said.
"Michelle and I really liked each other, but you know how some high school boys are," he told the magazine.
"But Michelle knew what she wanted, and after graduation she was off to Princeton. I couldn't stand in her way. I wished the best for Michelle because she's always been a wonderful person."
"I always knew Michelle was special and would make a difference in the world," said Mr Upchurch.

That guy looks like he’s 40.
bwaaaaaha!
Funny, zer0’s friends do not reveal themselve’s....his home town isn’t celebrating the fact they produced a POTUS except in Kenya)....doctors, nurses, school chums, girlfriends....wonder why?
Zero has no close friends, excet those that work and play b-ball with him.
Journalistic onanism.
If, indeed, this qualifies as journalism.
BAAAAAAARRRRRRRRFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should have been a barf alert, I know!
So does she.
Why is she wearing a dress with sleeves? At least one thing is consistent with her present style - it looks like she stole someone’s drapes for the dress material.
But not so in zer0's case.
It looks like a promo shot for a bad Billy Dee Williams/Diana Ross 1980’s B movie.
It would have been far better if he had said that she was a "super freak" on prom night, and that he still has the bite marks to prove it.
lol
At least she’s seated so that she doesn’t tower over the dude.
However, he did produce a receipt from a cheap fleabag motel that charged by the hour...
Maybe she would like to talk about her racist, hate filled, ‘get whitey’ college thesis while she’s discussing life.
This is how the British retaliate when you diss their prime minister.
yawn
LMAO!
Hawaii is very excited about Obama. They claim him as their own.
