Why does he keeps talking about his ex?

[liziepot]

Here's the story, A friend of mine gave my phone number to this guy. We texted each other,
and after some weeks, or a month maybe, he told me that he loves me.
And as everyday passes, I'm falling in love with him.

But he keeps talking about his ex. He tell stories about his ex.
On how they became lovers, how they started.

And one time, I was checking my facebook account and he asked me
if I wanna see his ex. I was kinda.. ARGH that time.
What was that for? Does still he loves his ex?

He's not my boyfriend.

i'd say he's still hooked on his ex.

[Kumandz]

I say that and look so Ttrkinh new life


I am a new member from Saudi Arabia, I hope you accept my greetings

[kitkitkitty]

he's still hung up on her i think. and loving you after a month or so?
hmm....

[liziepot]

that's what i'm thinking. how can i stop him to talk about his ex? it hurts me.
he tells me he loves me everytime. we made lots of promises.
do you think i should let my self totally fall for that man?

[kitkitkitty]

i don't see why on one hand he says he loves you and on the other, you're not together. i think he's treating you like some weird rebound thing. you can ask him why he talks about her so much. he'll probably come out with something like 'we shared a lot together so a lot of my stories will include her'. tell him it weirds you out. he sounds a bit weird himself. are you both in your teens by any chance?

[liziepot]

yeah. were both teens. eighteen years old.

[kitkitkitty]

oh same as me then he's still being a bit too hasty with the whole 'love' thing when you 2 aren't officially together. i think you need to have a think about whether you'd want to actually be in a relationship with a guy like this.

[liziepot]

you mean i should not let myself fall for this guy?
i really need some advice. im falling for him.. and it gets stronger each day

[kitkitkitty]

i think you should definitely have that talk with him about where you and this other girl stand in his life. ask him how he can say he loves you yet he won't 'commit' and be in a relationship with you. it may be a hard and quite awkward convo but you know you'll be constantly thinking about it otherwise, right?
in the meantime... be careful with the falling for him as you don't know where you could land.

He hasnt moved on I think, don't chase him.
Telling you he loves you though may have been just so he could make you smile (hate to say it but guys do that)
It wasn't very fair telling you he loves you because he sounds a little uncertain.
Don't show interest and don't show ANY interest in meeting his ex, He's holding onto the past
don't get involved in this it could get pretty messy. Just leave him, sounds like he misses her judging on
how he brags about her. You're better than this, we fall in love a little easy sometimes trust me I've been
a 'fool' for a lot of guys but there are plenty out there you'll probably fall for in a heartbeat and they'll
be worth falling for..

And the fact he's a teen, he still hasn't matured guys do stupid things
at young ages and take a lot longer than us to actually start functioning maturely

[sparkle_jello]

It sounds like he's not over his ex. Anyways, I really think love takes longer than a couple weeks to build, I always classify 'love at first sight' as 'lust at first sight'. When someone is starting a relationship with someone new they should be focused on the new person and finding out about them, not focusing on the past.

He's not over her, but could be trying to get over her. I think you are a rebound...

I wouldn't take a chance on him personally. He'd probably run back to her if she clicked her fingers.
