Perhaps one of the biggest mistakes people do when they break up is dive into the situation to make it more worse than what it already is. Lets face it, if the situation is already bad it may only get worse because the other person is expecting this.

But, what if you can give them something that they were not expecting at all?  Like you moving on with your life and not paying too much attention to him or her in the first place.  There are steps that you need to take to effectively fix your relationship instead of just doing things to quickly that can simply mess up the whole thing in the first place.  Something to consider, no?
