Singles Who Mingle: Bree Williamson (Soap Opera Digest 2/17/04)

What was your best Valentine's Day? "I'm still waiting for it [laughs]! Actually, that's a lie, I had a good Valentine's Day a couple of years ago when I hung out with my girlfriends. We went out for karaoke night and sang bad songs. It was kind of an anti-Valentine's Day. I can't remember what the songs were, but they all said things like, 'You're a jerk.'"

What is your favorite gift to give/receive? "I like to give and receive homemade things, like a card or a CD."

What is the biggest surprise you received on a date? "I didn't actually go on a date. I thought I told this guy I couldn't go out with him, but I guess our communicatio got mixed up. I had plans [in Canada] and was with my friend. he called, angry that I wasn't on a date with him. It turned out he was so upset because he had arranged for us to have dinner in New York. Any guys out there: Don't do something so extravagant on only the second or third date. It was a bit much."

What is a good breakup line? "I don't think you should use a line at all. No 'It's not you, it's me.' Just say, 'Sorry, but this isn't working out' or 'See you later.'"

Have you fallen for a pickup line? "Does anybody these days [laughs]? Just say 'Hello.' I like directness."

Who is your celeb dream date? "I love Jason Lee. He hasn't done anything big in a while, but he's such a cutie. I also like Lenny Kravitz. He's just so cool."

What is your idea of a good date? "It can be dinner, coffee, whatever, but there needs to be a lot of easy, free-flowing talk. It doesn't have to be anything big, it just has to be comfortrable."

What is the best Valentine's Day gift you've gotten? "My ex-boyfriend made me a card. It was really nice because I didn't think he was the type who was into that. We're still good friends."

What is your biggest turnoff? "There are so many! I think the bigest is dishonesty. I also don't like it if a guy is rude. Another is if a guy says something bad about his mother. If a guy can't get along with his mom, that's a huge turnoff."
