Correct Answer: I wouldn't have dated him if I were you,


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

The subjunctive mood is used to express unreal or hypothetical situations. In conditional sentences like this one, where the situation is contrary to fact or imaginary, the correct form is "were" instead of "was" after "if".

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: " I wouldn't have dated him if I were you." He doesn't seem like a good person.
