All right, so I just went on my 3rd outing with this girl I met on OKc & am fairly interested in. Things are going great! It was just more of the same: dinner, drinks, conversation & tons of laughs!
However, she did mention her ex a few times & a question popped into my head: why the eff is she talking about him?
So I ask you seXXXy CD Relationships Forum people: why do women talk about their exes? Is it because they're showing they have a history, that they have options? That they've had a good time before & know how to have it again, possibly with you? What?
I talk about my x boyfriends just as much as I talk about other people on my life. They were people in my life, they are always part of my life, they are not taboo.

I welcome answers from both guys & gals.
I guess I look at things differently, but I think it's tacky to do much talking about an ex in the early stages of dating someone new. Mentioning a general overview of the last person you dated is fine, "I broke up with someone last March. We dated for two years prior to that." But if it goes much beyond that, IMHO if you're still at a place where you need to talk about the ex all the time, it may be you've started dating someone new too soon, before you were ready.
OP, you're getting a lot of red flags with this girl. She won't really date you and will only "fake date" you. She talks about her ex. Is this the same ex that had a full time GF and was cheating on that GF with her? If she's waxing poetic about that guy, I would run for the hills. Sounds like this girl likes drama and knows how to draw it in.

Well, most people would mention their exes in passing for one reason or another in a conversation. They were parts of their lives after all. Too much talking about them and particularly expressing anger while doing it is a red flag, though.
It depends on how frequently someone discusses an ex, and whether the content is informative or just a rant. Good information can give you real insights into what she likes or doesn't, and let's you decide if you're a good match - or not. The attitude that comes across in her remarks is also useful, and can indicate a red-flag personality issue. So, as long as it's not excessive, you may learn more, faster, than you would otherwise.
