The men I dated are like cats...you feed them once and they keep coming back.

Every single man I have ever dated, with the exception of one, even the one from high school has found me and contacted me even if 10 or 15 years go by. I have never picked up the phone and called one of my exes but I have heard from all of them.

One I talk to for paperwork.

I've thought about them from time to time, more in a compartmentalized way as I might remember something about an old job or someplace I used to live.

I have no desire to contact any of my exes. I did find out that some of them live in the same area that I do, that is all I want to know.

As far as Facebook goes, I've blocked a few of them, either because they could be the friends of friends and I didn't want them to reconnect with me that way, or things ended on a very ugly note.

Yes, I think about lost love from time to time and so do all the chicks I know. But, it is not a gender thing. It is a human thing we have memories and we revisit them whenever we are so inclined. Hey and the upside of that is some of those memories are worth thinking about...

Right?!

And they have an uncanny ability to do it at the precise moment you happen to find happiness with someone else!

No, not necessarily, but it does appear to be more of a rebound thing with them after they've been kicked to the curb by someone else.

I recently thought of my ex-husband while walking across a bridge in Paris that we once wandered over.

I also think of things I've done with my female friends.
Geez, they're just memories.

Are you saying that men never think of their ex-partners?
I have a few who still get in touch with me, so I think that they might also.

I only think of them if something triggers a memory. Then I shudder, mutter thank God that's in the past, and quickly think of something else.

There's no one who I think about daily. Maybe once in a while or if something reminds me of them. Also, my thoughts are usually along the lines of, "I wonder what he's doing/if he's found someone else", but I don't really reminisce about our times together or anything.
