.how do you know you've had too many exes?.

totally random. not talkin' by experience. just... whatever.

(1) you forget that person actually existed until your friend decides to talk about the past, and his name popped up, and your reaction was "ooooh yeaa... i did go out with that guy before!"

(2) you can no longer remember their birthdays, even if you write them all down in your year planner, cuz every year when you have to buy a new planner, you somehow leave a name or two out.

(3) your ex boyfriends' names start doubling up, and you have to start adding descriptions behind their names. ie: "jimmy, from kindergarten" or "christopher, from primary 4"...

(4) you can no longer impose "do not date my ex" rules with your girl friends becuz the chances of a clash happening is too great!

(5) you tell stories to friends about something you learnt from an ex, and u forget which ex it actually was who told you that.

(6) when friends talk about the past, the "year" of when that past memory occurred is recalled by which guy you were dating at that time. :S

(7) when most stories you tell others are told to you by an ex, or from an experience with an ex, and when people ask, u are forced to uncomfortably say, "oh... it was a friend. just a friend."

(8) when everywhere you go or whatever you do, there's a memory of you and an ex.

(9) when people tell you about their heartaches, and you can relate to 9/10 of those stories personally.

(10) when people ask how many exes you have, your response isn't immediate but rather one of these thoughts :-

a. this year?
b. including or excluding flings?
c. defineeee ex boyfriend?
d. puppy love isn't counted rite?
e. you mean those i was reaaally serious with?
f. since i came to australia?
g. hmm... i haven't really counted since 2002...
i. the last time i counted...
j. i never bothered counting.

And girls, it would be wise to pre-plan a response, and tip: even if u have had 91829 exes, the answer is ALWAYS 2!!! ok, or 3!! 4 is the absoluteee max!! - and please consider your age as well.

- ok. end.
