 Everything I Needed to Know About Dating, I Learned from The Soaps 

I have a friend who’s going to be single again.  She’s worried she’ll end up alone since she’s not dated in forever.  Of course, being the great friend I am, I offered up my totally unsolicited opinion and told her she’d have no problem getting any dates. I explained that even though I’m not currently dating, I’ve had a lifetime of tips and hints from a plethora of experienced people.  Soap characters.  The tips and hints I gave her were so great; I thought I’d pass them along to all of you.
