How to Introduce Your Ex!

By: Jason Cunningham (10/22/2005)

After a dating relationship runs its course, life still goes on without that person. Yet what if you have to still have to see this ex of yours in social settings? How do you introduce your ex to other people, maybe as a friend or admit the truth.

Unless you fall in love with the first person you date, then you have or will have an ex-girlfriend or boyfriend. That is the way life works, however you might need to know how to deal with this person amongst people who may not be aware of your past relationship. I think men and women often approach the situation from two different angles. Men usually do not want to address the issue, and in many instances will introduce their ex as their friend. Generally women feel disrespected that men do not admit the past relationship. It can interpreted that what you once had meant nothing. I recommend that you admit the truth when someone asked you about it. Besides it really does not matter, when the relationship is over.

I am not a female, but in my observation of men around their ex, the ex-girlfriend has a tendency to be protective. Do not let someone who likes you be there at the event! I am not talking from personal experience; just observation from a distance. Therefore it should be expected that women will always introduce you as their ex, unless they hate you.

The moral of the story is that you should as a men admit that a woman is your ex-girlfriend in public, even if hurts. Women want to be recognized, therefore just suck up your pride for the moment. Sometimes women make it there job to let everyone know that you are her ex-boyfriend. Oh brother, yet every moment that has a beginning will have an ending.
