The most important requirement to handle a difficult situation is to know what to do and what not to do. In fact knowing what not to do can be more important than knowing what to do since doing a wrong thing can make things more difficult. I will list out a few things which you should not do, if you want to move on after getting dumped by your boyfriend.
1) Do not hook up with other guys: This may look a surefire way of getting even with your ex but this will harm you more than it will, your ex. I know some dumped girls quickly dating a new guy, with the idea of taking revenge on their ex. But what do you gain except for branding yourself a flirt? Restrain yourself and avoid dating other people.
2) Do not waste your time and yourself by activities like excessive partying. It is important that you remain active, cheerful and enjoying yourself. But attending parties with a frenzy will only make you mentally sick in the long run, since you will stop enjoying them soon and will be participating in these activities in a mechanical way.
3) Avoid self-pity: Self pity will destroy your self-esteem and make you feel bad about yourself. Self pity is often generated by your friends and well wishers who keep harping on the bad treatment received by you. Avoid listening to sympathetic messages beyond a limit and cut them short by saying that you have come out of what has happened and don't want to think of it again. Forget about being a dumped girlfriend and move on with your life.
