I love that. The new way of breaking up right now is via Facebook.
Status: Single.
Status: It’s complicated.
Status: Single again.
Do you know how many clients I talk to who have been broken up….

Gotta love the fade away. It’s one of the best dating tactics in the entire world.
So you went out with somebody, you had a great time, maybe you slept together, maybe you didn’t, but now you’ve determined that this person just isn’t for you. Now when it comes to dating and relationships, most of us are complete chicken shit because there are a lot of feelings and emotions involved, and it’s a really intimate thing.

“She broke up with me out of the blue”
Have you ever thought that when you were in a relationship that came to an end? Have you ever been completely taken by surprise?
I don’t think there’s any truth to a statement like that. Nobody gets dumped just like that out of the blue. Nobody wakes up one morning, everything perfect in the relationship, and then gets dumped just like that out of the blue. Similarly, nobody in a wonderful relationship wakes up one morning and decides to dump their significant other out of the blue, just because they felt like it for no particular reason. It doesn’t work that way.

What’s up with some people and how they breakup with someone? Recently, a friend of mine emailed me and said, “My girlfriend broke up with me the other day via email.”

How long after a breakup should you wait before you start dating again?

I get asked a lot about how to “properly” break up with someone. Breaking up is really a hard thing to do. I’ve written about this in the past, but I keep getting this question. So maybe I should tackle this subject again. Breaking up is tough. You could do it like Sylvester Stallone and break up with someone via FedEx.

So, you’ve got to break up with somebody. Breaking up is hard to do. I’ll tell you something – I was never a good breaking up person. I mean, it was one of the hardest things in the world for me to do. Through much of my adult life, I would work to get women to dislike me so the relationship could end.
