I posted the other day about how I was going to meet this Libra male I had been chatting to online. It was all planned by him and left as a surprise to me as to where we were going. But anyway, had a lovely day, he talked lots, and I mean lots, but had lots of laughs and generally got on well. Only thing that bemused me was him talking about his ex girlfriends and flings. I'm just wondering why this might be?

Regarding his ex who he split up with 2.5 years ago, he told me they had known each other from 19 years since school, then one day he met her in a bar, walked her home that night and never left her house, they then went on to be together for 5 years, eventually split up, she now has a baby with another man but they are still very good friends. He started off by telling me a story about him being cut up by a taxi driver and she was in the car at the time. This was about 20 minutes after first meeting that he bought her up. He also spoke about her several more times during the day.

The flings he told me about was from the other women he had met from this site we are on. Said one he met a couple of times, liked her but didn't like her obsession with weed, so ended that. The other one he argued with from the start online, met her and had a one night stand. Didn't see her again.

I'm making him out to sound vile but he was really alright, im just a bit perplexed as this is something I just would never do. I thought it was a massive nono. But then the lines are blurred as to whether we were meeting up just a friends or first potential date. We do get along well.

Meh.

As a date, it's kinda wow, mostly from the first one.

But as friends, it's not that big of a deal to talk about. I get why you're a bit perplexed.

However, if you're considering this guy romantically, the bit about his ex and bringing her up so much is a tad bit of a red flag. He could just be sharing, but he may still be dealing with those emotions too. It may just be something to keep an eye out for.
