Did you see the news report this week of the girl who got stuck in the chimney of a guy she met online after they split up?<\/p>\n

No? Let me recap for you. Basically, Genoveva Nunez-Figueroa, 28, had to be removed by the Ventura County Fire Department, California, after allegedly trying to break into the house of a guy she met on an online dating site. She had gone on a few dates with the guy in question but he decided to end the relationship (I think we can guess why).<\/p>\n

So, what a good time to share with you some top tips on what NOT to do after a break up (we\u2019ll leave out the tip about trying to break in to someone\u2019s house as we know you dear readers are better than that!)<\/p>\n

Quit texting for a bit\u2026<\/b>Break ups are hard, we know. But if you\u2019re feeling as though there are still a lot of things unsaid, step away from your mobile phone. Seriously, every time you pick up your phone you\u2019re going to want to text him so just go cold turkey.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wallow\u2026<\/b>YES you\u2019re going to want to do nothing but curl up with a tub of ben and jerry\u2019s and netflix but that\u2019s going to make things worse. You can still be miserable out and about – but the chances are once you\u2019re out of the front door you\u2019ll be like \u201cwho?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wear his clothes\u2026<\/b>This maybe a bit of a movie cliche but if you\u2019re thinking of sitting around and weeping in to his oversized shirt then stop. Get dressed and refer to the tip above!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t take your break up in to the office\u2026<\/b>The last thing you and your co-workers need is an awkward moment where you start crying at work. Seriously, leave the crying to the privacy of your own home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t rush out to sleep with someone else\u2026<\/b>The old saying goes \u201cthe best way to get over someone is to get under someone else\u201d but that\u2019s not really the best advice. The chances are it\u2019ll be a crap experience because you\u2019re going to be too hung up on your ex.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Likewise with relationships\u2026<\/b>What\u2019s wrong with being single? Enjoy it! The last thing you want is other annoying man hanging around.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t stalk him online (or anywhere actually). <\/b>This step needs no explanation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step away from the motivational quotes\u2026<\/b>you know the ones. Where they are really passive aggressive cryptic messages. Just don\u2019t post them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NEVER sent the \u201cooopps wrong person text\u201d\u2026<\/b>don\u2019t got sending the text that was intentionally for him but was \u201csupposed\u201d to be for your best friend. It\u2019s a cliche and extremely transparent.<\/p>\n
