1. Do not drink a cosmo by yourself in a self-pitying act (and with secret hopes that the wisdom of Carrie Bradshaw will come to you) just before you are about to break it off.
2. Do not then call that person and say everything but "I don't think we should see each other anymore.”
3. When that person asks, "If I were to go on a date with someone else tomorrow, would that bother you?" Answer truthfully, and say that you wouldn’t care in the slightest. Don’t say, “Yes, that would maybe, probably, um bother me a little” because that is what you think they want to hear.
5. Do not email him 10 minutes after the fruitless conversation to communicate the original reason for the call, which you just couldn’t get around to saying on the phone: “We should be single and see other people again.”
6. DO be direct and straightforward with someone you are breaking up with: because drunkenly babbling on the phone for a half hour will get you nowhere, except to make a difficult situation even worse.
