Don't Go Down the Ex Path
It's tempting, yes, but hooking up with your ex is never a good idea! It only complicates things and holds you back from meeting someone fabulous. Just follow the simple rules below to avoid the ex rebound.
Do not go out for 'casual drinks' with your ex. Drinking equals bad decisions, people, and even if you only say you are going to have ONE drink you probably won't and that could equal a drunken hook-up (not a good idea).
Do not talk to your ex constantly, as if you were still together.
Do not disclose full details of your new love life --your ex could sabotage you or just make the new options all seem terrible.
Do not go to your ex's favorite spots or hangouts for a while because seeing him or her there could get you back into your old rut.
Do not continuously seek 'closure' and constantly pick apart your relationship with an ex. It could bring up old feelings and cause the whole debacle to start up again.
Do not hang out with your ex alone or after hours because, again, if it's a fresh breakup this definitely could heat things up.
