What Not to Say to a Single (or Newly Single) Person
　　Don’t say: “You were too good for him.”
　　Why: You are basically saying she has bad taste. And you’ll be embarrassed if they ever patch it up(修补，复合).
　　Instead say: “His loss!” It gets the same point across(被理解) without disparaging(贬损) her judgment.
　　Don’t say: “I’m glad you got rid of him. I never liked him anyway.”
　　Why: She’ll wonder about your fake adoration for him while they were together.
　　Instead say: “I’m confident you’ll find someone who will give you exactly what you want.” It focuses on what’s to come, not on the dud(<非正式用语> 失败的人或事) you’re glad she’s done with(结束，完毕).
　　Don’t say: “How could someone as perfect as you still be single?”
　　Why: A statement like this comes off as a backhanded(间接的) compliment. What she hears is “What’s wrong with you?”
　　Instead say: “Seeing anyone?” If she’s tight-lipped(几乎不讲话的) about her love life, move on to other topics.
