I learned that the hard way. if you date is talking to much about their ex they are not over her/him. I made that mistake on many first (and last dates) I had for the first year + after my divorce. The truth was I wasn't ready for another relationship. Probably the same could be said for anyone obsessing about their ex

Well, I don't know.
I have an ex from like 10 years ago that I still talk about. He was a very important part of my life for a very long time. Do I still love him? Yes. And I always will. But that doesn't mean I want him back or that I haven't gotten over him.
I don't mind hearing about my current partner's ex's. Those women were an important part of his life too. They were part of his past. They are part of why he is who he is today.
(Of course all of this is assuming I even HAD a current partner! lol)

If it gets to an obsessive point, then I'd be concerned, but to just talk about an ex the same way he'd talk about his highschool days or old college friends, that doesn't bother me.

How about when your date answers their phone while out to dinner. That is the worst feeling and i would get up and walk out on their sorry butt.

On the 1st few dates I feel the topics disccuesd should evolve around the 2 of you and likes,dislikes,goals,etc.Then when your together I see no harm in bringing up ex orhim doing same.Face it,that person was a big part of his/her life.You may learn something,listen closley.
