General rule: Nip it in the bud the first time it happens.

Make a face like she just dropped a big fart and it stinks bad.

Lean away from her and wave your hand as though to fan away the stench and say "I don't want to talk about your exes."

Do it in the same tone you would as if you were telling someone "you stink" (ie. gross, ewww, yuck, etc.) She is essentially filling the air around you with "shyt". Treat her accordingly.

If she doesn't stop or tries again later you have to lay it on the line right then and there. (Or allow it to happen and become her emotional tampon.)

You: "Listen you seem great but it sounds like you are still hung up on your ex."

You: Eject and wait for her to stop you. If she doesn't, then you're better off anyway. She should apologize and get the hint from then on.

Well, if its blatant, I'd relagate her to dumb b!tch status. Not much else you can do.

If you read the "The Book of Pook" you will learn that a chick talking about her bf is often an insight as to what is going on in that relationship. Listen to what or how she talks about him. If she's saying good things about him etc then she's not interested in you. If she's saying bad things about him then she's hinting at wanting you to rescue her.

not here. in the real world.
Go.ddamn nothing annoys me more than that -- slick laid down some solid advice -- when will chicks understand nobody wants to hear about all of that?

Switch subjects. Say, "I'd rather talk about the present and exciting things going on right now", or "I'd really rather not talk about those things, let's talk about something fun between us instead". Draw her attention back to both of you and the present and exciting things for the future. Don't go down into her relationship past-tunnel with her, it will end with both of you depressed -- her re-living her past broken relationships, and you hearing way more info on things you never wanted to know anyways!

Trust me, no matter how inviting it seems, be very vague and general at the very MOST about past relationships and hearing anything of hers diverge, diverge!

If she refuses to stop blabbing about it, clearly she's got some **** she hasn't dealt with and you ought to find a chick more emotionally available!

my 2cents!
 

Create self-fulfilling prophecies. Always assume the positive. Assume she likes you. Assume she wants to talk to you. Assume she wants to go out with you. When you think positive, positive things happen.

This. I learned it the hard way with one chick who went brought her ex up in nearly every damn conversation. It took me longer than it should have to realize that she just wanted someone to listen to her whining and didn't have any real interest in me at all. Ah well, live and learn.

Then don't waste another minute on her.

I don't bother with chicks who have boyfriends so as soon as she brought it up I'd move on and look for someone available.

According to Pook, the difference was between feelings and actions. If a girl talks about feelings, the girl is attached to the guy. If a girl talks about the boyfriend’s actions then you can take action.
 

You essentially upped your VALUE in her eyes by showing her that, if she wants you, she has to at times do things that you like to do. You are SOMETHING after all. You are NOT FREE. If she wants to hang with you, it's going to cost her something — time, effort, money.

How you guys deal
I swing the conversation away from it and if they swing back to it more than once after that (I operate on a 2 strikes rule, not including the playful warning) I cut the outing short and bounce. If they want to talk about the ex that means they want you to be their tampon. They have gay friends for that.

Well, she's not interested and seems happy with her relationship. Now you know not to waste your time. You move on.

So, in reference to the some of the above posters. At least if she starts talking about the boy friend and if the feelings she associates with him are good ones. I guess you can then move on. However, if they bad ones then (1) You know she needs a change (2) she will give you inside info on what he did that was bad and with this knowledge you can know how to go about getting her.
