It depends upon which date it is, and whether I spoke of mine or asked him about his.

ON a first date, I would probably believe he wasn't quite healed if he had negative things to share and still in love if he had raves.

If its later on in the relationship, I would probably prefer it and be asking questions about it myself. I like to share the things that work and don't work for me and for them.

First date, we went dancing. Conversation between songs, he kept mentioning how beautiful she was and how much he missed her...I thought he was talking about his daughter...Then it suddenly dawned on me that he was talking about his ex...They were divorced 12 years... I shook his hand and said goodnight...Thank goodness I took my own car.

well, we've all been there. to some degree or another.. so if they're just making the odd comment' about their ex... and I 'get the sense that they just need to... go on a little rant.. I will more likely just order myself a very strong drink.... offer them a refill.....
.. and try to... sympathize with what they're saying.... but if.. after their rant.. they continue to go on about their ex... I toss them a quarter and tell them this!! ..you should get a hold of your ex !.and tell them this...

.... and then i move on to the next.. contested... On contested row....lol

Oh my...yeah that might be a little too much...I usually overlook that as it can be a way of expressing what you like in a relationship, but..I learned that it can be handicapping.

Lol...the opposite though is really energy draining...

Compare notes. Its off-putting but sometimes, it means alot to let it out.

It doesn't matter which date it is. I never ask and it shouldn't be of interest to talk about anyway. What I believe is that he isn't over his relationship to start dating again.

My first thought??
Probably..."Wonder what color her panties are"?

My mind tends to wander, when the ex rant starts.

whatever has come before is a part of who they are now. it gives a sense of understanding where they are coming from.
it means they feel comfortable being open and honest about their life.
I prefer to know things before jumping into things than to later find out I've taken on more than I can handle
