Is it me or does using the term "ex" not seem DJ? To me it almost seems as if you are using a old girlfriend as a status symbol by referring to her as a "ex". When I hear people say "that was my ex" or "my ex was hot" just seems afc almost as if you are still hooked to her. Anyone see were Iam coming from with this?
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Using the term "ex"

- Start date
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I think it all depends on how she become that person's ex. Plenty of possibilities there, and a lot of them are very DJ, and a lot of them are very AFC. It's just a word 
Despite your comments,I have noticed that the top "playas" that I personally know do not use the term "ex". Your comment, "Give me a break, this is pathetic" is not needed,and is only going scare off new posters. I don't leave negative remarks to anyone on this board and neither should you.penguin said:
