(Newly) Single In The City: 5 Ways To Survive A Breakup

No Acting Desperate

If someone you truly loved has dumped you, you may indeed be desperate, but there's no need to act like it. Acting desperate, particularly towards your ex, will not cause them to run back into your arms. Instead, it will do one of two things: it will either turn them off completely or it will lead them to conclude that they can go date whomever they want and you, because you're so desperate, you will still be there waiting for them. In short, desperation is like the color pea green: it doesn't look good on anyone. Thus, even if you are desperate, keep it to yourself.
