You might be low on self-esteem: Your ex may have found someone ‘better’ than you, in his or her words. Your self-esteem must have been wrecked and you must be feeling like hiding yourself somewhere. In such times, if you hook up with someone, you might not be able to give your true self to the person. And you might find yourself going lower down the ladder.

You will look for your ex in the new partner: Being in a relationship with someone becomes more like a habit at times. You get to know each other so well that words are no longer required to express yourself. If you go hooking up right after breakup, you will tend to look for your ex in the new partner. That, no doubt, is not good for you, your new partner and the relationship.

You tend to compare the new with the old: It is human nature to compare and when you move immediately from one partner to another, you will unconsciously start comparing. You start comparing the way your new partner reacts, behaves, carries himself, talks to you with your ex. There is no end to comparing.

You may not have accepted the breakup yet: A breakup is a sad thing to happen, but if it has happened, then there is a reason for it. You need to accept the changed state of affairs. All this is easier said than done, but you need to make it happen. Do not hook up with someone else unless and until you are completely over your ex.
