Just broke it off with your old boo? Stepping back into the dating world after a few years of flying solo? Don't know the first thing about going on a date? Have no fear, "The Bachelor" contestants are here! This past winter, everyone's favorite guilty pleasure reality show, "The Bachelor," celebrated its 20-year anniversary, and boy, do we have a lot to be thankful for. Countless laughs, many ridiculously attractive men and – perhaps the most important of all – a wonderful array of dating tips. After all, "The Bachelor" is a completely realistic show featuring a close look at what dating really is like. Thank you, "Bachelor."

1. Remember to ask the right questions.

How much money do you have? When are we eating? Are you in love with me?

2. Always make an entrance.

Show your date you're not just anyone. He is lucky to be with you.

3. If your date takes you out to eat, be sure to keep to yourself when the meal is served.

Chances are, your date might also like the meal you ordered. By no means should you let them think you are sharing. You are not sharing. Keep to yourself during meal time and never go home hungry.

4. Hide yo wife, hide yo kids and hide yo emotions.

Your date stood you up? He called you the wrong name? Thinks you're 30 but you're actually 22? If you have to cry, make sure to go do it in a forest somewhere no one can see you. Thank you, Brittney.

(Or, in your limo.)

5 Keep it real.

People just want to know the real you. Hit them with truth and never look back.

6. Show your skills.

You can read backwards? Can put your left food behind your head? Know another language? Whatever your talent may be, show it off! Don't hold back!

(Spanish translation: "table...green")

7. Dates love gifts.

8. Be straight forward.

Is your date boring you? Would you rather be at home cuddling up with your dog and watching Netflix? Then get the heck out of there (but not before dessert comes)!

8. Be mysterious.

When your date asks a question, make sure you don't give an answer. Keep him guessing, and he'll practically be begging for a second date. Remember ladies, mysterious is sexy.

9. Be persistent.

Sometimes, guys just don't realize how great you are. (Foolish, I know.) But have no fear, that's nothing a little aggressive behavior can't fix! Find your inner Olivia, and show your date your crazy side. Go for the gold!

10. Always assume there is another woman (and do it quick).

11. Keep it cool when your date asks for a round two.

You totally go on dates all the time. It's no big deal. Honestly, whatever.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right?

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life.
