”My ex is such an idiot!”
I consider myself lucky to be a matchmaker at Intermezzo Montreal. One of the perks of this job is that I get to meet fascinating men and women all day long.
We get the chance to discuss many things and sometimes I can easily identify who will be successful in the short term in finding ”the right one”. One danger sign is when the discussion is centered on the person’s ”ex”. ”My ex wasn’t this, my ex wasn’t that…” I was even told recently ” I will meet someone before my ex!”. A clear sign that this person is not ready to meet anyone.
When you feel like meeting someone, the first subject to avoid is your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend. Even if you are questioned about it, move on to another subject. Speaking positively is always more attractive than dissing someone. My mother always tells me that if I have nothing good to say, that I should shut-up. Wise advice when starting to date someone!
