I dont like to talk about my past or any private life, to person who I meet for first time. Still dont know him well.....Better to talk about what special in our place, education, family, food...just casual thing. Try to explore how his personality and if there any chemistry.
When she talk about how bad her ex and how bad all her ex bfs, just thinking...how many bf she has before? and why all of them leave her? If from 10 ex bf's, all treat her bad, maybe she worth for that. She has problem......and u will be the 11th.
Think twice......Good luck comfort

i have heard those cry baby stories before, after a bit i just mention politely can you just stop that, or it usually bugs me enough that i will not see that person again, it just may be the beginning of a huge head ache?

Englishman55: If I thought the conversation was going down the road of talking about an ex, I would subtley steer the conversation onto a happier subject.

If this did not work I would then point out to them that I was not particularly inetersted in talking about an ex, or being compared to one and that if they needed to offload as they would do to a shrink, then I would charge for the service of listening.


How much do you charge Doctor? Can I pay in kind?

I decided to go a bit pale for a while. Some of my friends here were having difficulty seeing my face even though I was not wearing a bhurka - too dark! I am not a muslim, very Catholic.
I love white chocolate and white men.
I will soon put on a new photo showing me a bit longer length.

I think you handled this very well. Perhaps your date was overly nervous due to the first face to face meeting. I am curious; did she reconnect and reply to your concerns? Will you go out again?

opentuit: Why would anyone want to talk about past relationships on a first date anyway? I don't think I'll ever really understand that.

lostx2: Hi all. New to the site but had to ask this question as it happened to me.

About 1 1/2 years ago, I tried an online dating site. We talked for a while on the site, then went to private email and Im's. Then the time came to meet in person. The whole time we were on the site or in email / Im's ex's were barely mentioned.

We went to a nice resturant, but the whole time she dominated the conversation with talk of how bad her ex was to her and how bad all her exboyfreinds were. I have been through 2 marriages myself and both ended VERY badly. I understand the need to tell your potential partner about past experiences with ex's but when is it too much?

Anyway my answer is, I sat through the date as politely as I could. I took her home and sighed from relief on my way home. The next day I told her she was a sweet woman, but I wanted to get to know each other better, not sit and listen to her vent her fustration. I told her that every man is different and she needs to let go of the past. I told her if she still wanted to chat ect, ect. that would be fine, but unless you let go of the past I don't see this going any further than friends. Needless to say we never spoke to each other again.

So if you where in the same situation, what would you do?


doh If I went out on a date like that I'd just ask if we can talk about something else. If he didn't stop, then I would make up an excuse and leave and say "lets be friends" and get out of there! I thought that people would come to dating sites with wanting to meet people and marry. confused
Anyway, lets hope we meet the right person! Aloha from Hawaii!

If someone goes on and on about their ex? They aren't finished processing it emotionally.

I'm past the point of having the patience or wanting to rehabilitate potential partner's from prior relationships.

And I have to go wave
