6. Keeping in close contact with your exes

This one should be a no-brainer. Staying close friends with the exes doesn’t make you look mature, it makes you look like you have separation issues. To greet each other on birthdays and stay Facebook friends is civility. But your new guy will feel a little wary if the two of you still SMS, comment on each other’s Facebook photos, or talk on the phone. In addition to getting scared that you’ll cheat on him, your new man might worry that you’ll never really open up to him since you already have a figure in your life who understands you intimately.
