HealingHandsWarmHeart Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I was having a conversation/debate with a friend of mine... and i decided to pose this question to everyone on ENA... if you go on a few dates with someone... the movies, out to dinner, maybe you have dinner at their place one time... get together with mutual friends...you do not have sex with this person and this takes place over the course of a month ... is that person considered an "ex"? thoughts?

annie24 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 no, that's not an ex. that's a person you dated. i consider an ex someone you had a relationship with, usually, an exclusive one. Link to comment
pinkelephant Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 ya, like. ex boyfriend. that's ex dated person? Lol. doesn't really count imo. if that were the case, i have a very long list! haha Link to comment
HealingHandsWarmHeart Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 i honestly thought that an ex was someone...anyone that you dated regardless of the extent of the relationship. Link to comment
hers Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I think it has a lot more to do with emotional conection--that's who I consider an ex. If you invested any emotion into them--not necessarily love but maybe a little more than just a crush--then that person is an ex if you stop seeing each other. Link to comment
Whiplash Girl Child Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 My opinion is that if you and the other person were exclusive, then yes, you can consider them an ex. However, if you were never a real item, then no, it's not an ex. Just someone you went on a few dates with. If they were once your boyfriend or girlfriend, then it's safe to refer to them as your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend. This is all JMO, though. Link to comment
evice Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Maybe this person wants to take it slower. This is definitely not an "ex". But judging just from you even posing this question, makes me think you are not THAT interested anyways. thereforeee, I see no problem here. Link to comment
HealingHandsWarmHeart Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 i must be the worlds biggest idiot because i didn't know that it had to be a "relationship" in order to call someone an ex... i honestly thought that if you dated that person and it ended then you could consider them an ex...lol Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 ex is someone you have had a serious relationship. Flings and friends with benefits don't count, I don't believe. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 i honestly thought that an ex was someone...anyone that you dated regardless of the extent of the relationship. an ex is someone you were exclusive with but you are no longer seeing each other. it's established. you agree you are together. you don't just gree to meet up at red lobster. that's a date.
