Well, my ex told me all about her past. How she had traveled the world and how her daughter was born in America. She told me about the custody battle but didn't really talk about the guy. She didn't want to talk about him and she just talked about what she had said to her daughter about how Jesus was watching over her and that everything would be alright. She also mentioned one or two other guys' names and where she met them but didn't really talk about what they did together. She just said that she had been lucky to have known some nice guys in her life and wasn't interested in telling me all about them and I didn't really want to know as long as they were history.

isn't this talking about your ex?think what what

In the beginning stages nope don't really want to hear about the details if the relationship progresses it is just part of life EX's get talked about doesn't mean there has to be any drama involved. It means you have a history and part of that history makes the person who they are today .
If they dwelled on the EX would be a different story..

I think a first date should be kind of casual. If you go on more dates with that person and they keep talking about exes, I would stop dating them. They're still stuck on that person or looking for someone to vent to.

Good question and I was waiting for someone to ask it.

Easy rebuttal is to say that I'm talking about her on the internet and not to a lady that I'm involved with.

If I'm over her how is that a problem?

And if I'm over her why am I talking about her on the internet?

And why am I trying to explain logic to someone that produces a piece of faulty logic that makes him look like my intelectual inferior?

Because he's smarter than other people that read these threads?

I've got your number mate.

I will never be "over" my "ex"... We were not separated by "failure" but by death. Any new prospect with interest will need to understand that. :)

how about this deal. the lady i started seeing 2 weeks ago has meet my exe. and the girl i was with last was very very mad that her husband would go and work on his exe,s house. in general i think most girls dont want to hear ANY THING about other girls that you have known. so i am constantly making sure i dont talk about ANY other girls.

I was just reading over one of my threads and the different reactions that I was getting from the women posters. I don't like dull and humourless people, so I tend to use a lot of humour as a way to find out who they are.

What strategies or unconcious habits do you use to filter out undesirables?


I thought you'd get sarcasm...oh well keep practicing.

I've read a lot of comments that say don't talk about your ex in the early stages. to wait a couple of months until you re past the stage of impressing each other.

while I don't want to spend all our time talking about his ex or mine, I think it's important to know whom we are with. to know we accept each other as we are

Oh but I do. I just like to talk to people that think that they're funny as if they're not.
