Dating experts slam Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston has been offered dating advice by the authors of The Rules.

Sherrie Schneider - who co-wrote the infamous dating manual with Ellen Fein - says the former Friends actress should not have spoken publicly about her summer break-up from John Mayer, and should also keep quiet about her ex-husband Brad Pitt's relationship with Angelina Jolie.

Schneider said: "Breaking up is never easy, but it doesn't have to be humiliating. Never mention Brad's or John Mayer's name in public. Also, don't say anything bad about John, like when you said he was missing a sensitivity chip."

Referring to Aniston's recent first interview about Jolie, during which she called the actress "uncool" for admitting she had started her relationship with Pitt while he was still married, Schneider added: "Never talk about Angelina or call her 'uncool', even if she was uncool. She does not exist in your world."

Fein also said Aniston, who recently rekindled her relationship with Mayer, should not wait before broaching the subject of starting a family with the Gravity singer.

She added: "You are going to be 40 soon. You have no time to waste if you want kids."
