this guy i was seeing claimed that he'd only really dated two girls in his life. odd for someone of 23, right? his first love was 5 years ago, and apparently they're still friends. i am pretty sure she doesn't want him back. but she is drop dead gorgeous and i can see why he still misses her.... but five years later?????

he also has this thing where he's addicted to myspace and facebook. he's constantly checking it when there's a computer near, and he sits there looking up all these girls' profiles that he knows from back home. and these girls are really beautiful. i say that without jealousy.

it kind of made me feel like shit, feeling like i'm being compared to that, since i'm really as good looking as a dog's ass. i told him that all of this is just a bit strange, to oogle all of their pictures and to miss his ex when he could just move on and pay more attention to the people around him.

am i wrong that it's a bit strange???

No. Maybe "strange" isn't the word for it though.. I'd go with "inconsiderate".

Does he talk about her often?
Cause I think that is one of the most obnoxious things a guy can do... constantly bringing up girls that aren't in their life anymore. It's totally inconsiderate of their current partner, and it just brings up a lot of shit that should be laid to rest.

Ex-speak is just bullshit.

And you shouldn't put up with his shit. He's blantantly showing interest in other girls. Which is natural, that a guys gonna notice attractive women when they cross his path. But he's going out of his way, and I mean.. it's just not right, man. It's really fuckin' disrespectful.

Get that boy on a leash <3

Maybe he's just homesick and these girls remind him of home. idk.

I think it's strange that he'd be dating you if he misses her so much.

i am 19 and have dated noone so far so it is rather possible that i won't have had more than 2 relationships when i'm 23.

it is also not impossible to miss someone after 5 years but it is a sign of not being over them, so he really shouldn't be seeing anyone else

sounds like he didn't get closure on the relationship.

He's not worthy of your attention, girl!

this guy has since moved back to where he came from. good news for me. i think he and i were just using each other for our own selfish reasons. but oh well.

i have ceased talking to him. and he is still obsessed with his ex. he's stalking her apparently, and he seems rather proud of himself.....yeah.
