D. I'd (pointedly) look away, look at my watch, change the subject abruptly and obviously.. well, maybe once or twice. If he still didn't get it, I'd say, "I feel really uncomfortable with this topic. I don't like it, and I don't want to talk about other people. I can't take a guy seriously who brings up other people/women in front of me, it makes me feel unimportant. I prefer a man who is actually interested in ME when I'm right in front of him. What do you think?"

What happens next depends on his answer and on his actions afterwards. Maybe he's just clueless or nervous or thinks his banter is wittier than it really is.. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt long enough to clearly state my expectations and see what he does about it. Cuz I have no problem straight up excusing myself completely and going home if he continues to be an asshat. *shrug*

I would be confused. I'd try to figure out if he was saying it in a longing kind of way. If there wasn't any threat of him liking any of those people then I might think 'He must have a lot of friends'. Or something. I'd get jealous, but it wouldn't be a big deal. If it seemed like he liked those people, then I'd probably eventually weed him out of the people I talk to, strong feelings or not. I don't change people's feelings, I just accept them. And if he doesn't really like me, then oh well.

B is the closest to what I would do at that moment, though.

I'd say B, moderately pissed, but I'm still struggling to picture myself having "strong romantic feelings" for someone. And I'm an Aries. I'd most likely bring up the subject at a later time, though, just to let him know that him saying such things is hurtful and I'd rather not discuss other women with him unless it's something really important.



In my experience with this, I did just that. He did not "give a fuck" and repeated that about 100 literal times. "We are not together/in a relationship, I can fuck whoever I want"
Regardless of the previous times he told me he had feelings for me, but now claims there are none.
This dude, so far out the door now.

My emotional reaction of crying, saying how he hurt me, trying to reason that even though we are not together, there is no reason to say such things to someone, anyone is wrong, could be chalked up to my Scorpio moon, or maybe I hate the fact that I used to think I was special to him in some small case and now am just another option instead.

I say what kind of stories?? And how recent are the exes? Like from high school and you're in your 30's now = No threat. Three months ago = threat (he's still not over her). Are there negative stories as well as the good ones? We all have exes and we all have good/bad memories. Learn what not to do from the negative stories and learn what to do from the positive ones?

There's lots of grey areas in this scenario.

I'd try to figure out his purpose before I decide how I feel about it. Then, if I'm feeling bad about it, I'd look into myself and ask why does it make me feel bad?

Then I'd decide what to do.

Most likely A or B depending on the answer I gained from above. Capricorn.

I wouldn't do C, I'd follow through with the date and just drift away (aka disappear) from him. Yes, the famous capricorn disappearing act. lol!

You are having a nice conversation with someone you happen to have strong romantic feelings for and they presumably feel the same way about you but then out of the blue they bring up random stories about other males/females and start praising them in front of you. Would you be.....

Please state your sign lol


C!

If I'm really diggin' the guy, him randomly

bringing up other chicks in a amorous tone

will immediately get him friend zoned. Dude

just did me a favor in the end. Nothing worse

for a Venus-Scorpio than the potential of putting

in work with someone who isn't worthy.

Venus in Scorpio here, too. It either wouldn't bother me OR I would drift away.

A. Unaffected. You just let it roll off your shoulder or you might even throw in a praise or two to help liven up the conversation.
B. Moderately pissed but you're still able to nod along. You quietly wait for an opportunity to change the topic.
C. Pissed beyond words. The other person is virtually committing suicide by praising your rivals in front of you.

Please state your sign lol

Taurus here... and I've gotta say 'A'.

Who cares... everyone has a past... and someday, I may very well be in her past also. I would be happy to know that she will always have good things to say about me. Besides... this is the opportune moment to really get inside of her... to know what she is all about. I wouldn't have reason to say anything bad about her exes either. They both had a thing for awhile... they were together... they are not anymore... and now she has chosen to confide it all in me... which means that I will definitely be getting lucky tonight !

This happened to me with aqua..

I often heard how gorgeous his x was, how she was hotter than Angelina Jolie in her 20s etc etc

I took the B approach,
though I was seriously hurt and confused as to why he would say these things to me.

He even went so far as to show me her photo,
at first I refused to click the link, did not want to look..
told him i would not.

he tried Again a few months later and finally I looked.
She was gorgeous

but chubby,

just like me..

like as in i could have been this chicks sister or cousin or something

my bff and i decided he was simply trying to give me some confidence that I am his type and I went to A
he also stopped doing it once I looked.

Since it worked out so shitt between us tho, and 80% sure a major reason is that he is not over this broad, in future I would VERY LIKELY respond to this with C
