Do not try to move on too quickly:

After a breakup, people are vulnerable and feel like they need someone there to avoid being lonely. Going from having someone to talk to 24/7 is never easy, moving on too quickly is dangerous.

Do treat and spoil yourself:

Breakups are stressful. After always hearing how wonderful and beautiful you are, it is okay to treat yourself. Make yourself feel good. Go get a mani and pedi, or buy yourself the shoes you have been eyeing through the window. Do not hesitate to lay back in an over-sized T-shirt, eat buckets of ice cream and relax.

Do not stalk their social media:

This is challenging and important. Nothing good comes from doing this. You will be upset, or jealous. If you did not find anything juicy, you will begin to be even more curious.

Do surround yourself with good company:

Your family and friends are the people who will pick you up when you are down, and ensure that everything will be okay. Even if you are the bad guy, they usually support you.

Do not talk badly about your ex:

You loved them for a reason, so as much as you would love to say mean things out of spite, do not. The more civil a break up is, the easier it gets. Also remember, they may have flaws, but you don't have to deal with them anymore.

Do take positives from the relationship:

Learn from your experience and move on. Anger will not help the situation in any way. Be happy that you had the opportunity to love someone and have such a good friend.

Do not drunk dial:

The only things that come out of this are regrets. You broke up for a reason, and your intoxicated mind will not make rational decisions. Not only could this rekindle an unwanted relationship, and make you look pathetic, you will also be embarrassed.

Do throw out anything that can upset you:

If they wrote you love letters, picture frames or any gift that may make you feel connected to him or her.

Do not try to be their friend…right away:

It is harsh to say, but it never works. There is a lot of emotional and sexual tension post breakup and trying to be friends is nearly impossible.

Do be patient:

It is normal to be upset and that is okay. In time, you will be back to your normal happy self. Do not rush into anything, and always acknowledge all of your true feelings. Remember how happy you once were single, and work your way back to that point.
