People break up for all sorts of reasons. Exes may not want to be with you any more, but it doesn't mean they can't still see what they liked about you in the first place.

I have just had a thought. The only people who don't seem to understand why you are single seem to be exes. The thing is if it is so hard for them to understand that then why don't they go out with you as something must be wrong for the break up to have happened.
Why are exes the only one who cant understand why you are single

Also when they talk to you about it you can hardly say that you are single as no-one is asking you out as that could make them seem like they must have been desperate as they wanted to go out with you in the first place.
Twice I have done self inflicted damage as I fell for 2 of my exes after dumping them and breaking up, they got very upset, did not know what happend, but one moved on and started seeing someone else before I realised I had fallen for her, the other got angry upset and would not talk to me, even when I tried to call her and tell her that I was wrong.

Hear hear. I'm best friends with my ex & I think he's gorgeous but I don't want to get back together with him. Far from it. Quite happy with what I've got

'Tho saying that there are a couple of certain people that I look at and think "What the hell was I doing"????? I can only put it down to desperation and lots of vodka
Maybe exes feel obliged to say that they can't understand why you are single as a means of validating the fact that they went out with you - or am I being too cynical here.
My most recent ex has never said that to me - although I suspect that may be because they can understand perfectly well why I'm single!

Well in two of the cases the ex's were torn between going out with me and going out with someone else. Even talked through should they be going out with me or being just friends or going out the other person and bounced their confusion back and forward.

Have to agree with T here , My most recent Ex would be the Ex Hubby , we get on better now than we did in the whole 13 years of Marriage , no matter what happened between us I still like him .. love him even as a friend and I know he still feels the same way, he worrys about me and what is going on in my life now , and I think thats the whole point of ex's. Ones that actually mattered will care and worry about you in the future.

Me and my ex, either tho we had a horrid relationship we are now good friends and still have the relationshipy stuff but without the commitment, which is what broke us up in the first place.
I still love him, he loves me, we still fight alot and he's still nasty some of the time but i dont want him to not be in my life, i feel better with him in it but i still have the opitunity to find someone else to be great with
and all my exs know why im single, tis coz im *tick* mad *tick*
hehe

Hey, just re-read this in the sober light of day and realised my post was maybe open to misinterpretation.

Was talking more about me than you gopher. Hope no offence was taken...
i can only hope this happens, mine won't even talk to me for more then a minute before excusing himself and he was the one that wanted to remain friends.

Sometimes it can take a long time , I would say that my EX left 16 months ago now and it's only been in the last 5/6 months that things got dramaticaly better, wether it's because of having the kids together and therfore we "have" to see each other I don't know , but it can take time. Hopefully hunny thats all he needs.
