So theres this guy i like and ive noticed on his facebook he still has pictures of his ex girlfriend on there idk maybe its just me but i kinda find this weird since they've been broken up a year and havent talked in a while. Could he still have feelings for her??

    My guess is that either the pictures are still pleasant memories in some way or he has moved beyond the relationship to the point he just doesn`t think her being in them matters,not everyone has to rid their lives of all things relating to an ex.

    Concentrate on who he is now,get to know him and see how it seems in communication if he is pining away.

    Not necessarily. It's really easy for stuff like that to kind of get lost in the mix unless you're face to face with it everyday. Don't even worry about it till your past the whole "liking him" stage and are actually in a real relationship.

    I still have pictures of my ex on facebook. People can still be friends after a break up. I wouldn't stress too much about it. Take Carl's advice. It's good.

    Lots of people don't go back and delete pics they have already posted. I wouldn't worry about it unless He has been recently posting pics of them together.

    He's a guy. They don't obsess if they have pictures of an ex on their fb page. Most of them forget they have that stuff. A few of my divorced guy friends have pics of their ex wives on their FB page still. They just forgot to take them down or don't care.

    Yeah, it's definitely doesn't mean anything. The only time I've ever deleted pictures of an ex from my Facebook is when I've been asked to by the ex.. Other than that, I wouldn't take them down, as to me it's weird to pretend that portion of my life didn't exist.

    Now if he walks around with a picture of her in his wallet, that's a different story...

    It would probably be more obsessive of him to go through his photos and delete everything with her in it.

    i still have pictures of my ex. the past is the past. there's no reason you have to destroy everything to move forward. i'm glad we can keep memories.

    I dumped all the old Ex stuff in a box and tucked it away. Pics on FB or any other INTERNET thing don't mean anything. People take the world of FB waaaay too serious.

    I have pictures of a few of my exes in old photo albums. I don't find it a big deal because I don't get into them that often. I probably won't throw them out either - it isn't like I'm in contact with them or carry a torch for them. Most I kept simply because they were good pictures of me and I am horribly unphotogenic.

    The one ex I have on my Facebook account is the one that I have the weirdest breakup story with.

    When I got with my DH he still had his ex girlfriend's bra! I was a little put off by it at first but then I realized.... sometimes it just takes guys a really long time to get around to doing things.... whether it be taking out the trash or getting rid of photos and lingerie from past girlfriends. LOL

    If he's anything like me, he just can't be assed to go through the photos and untag them.

    ikr? what a torso



    oh and to the OP don't sweat it. Guys don't fret over stuff like that and what it means to leave them up/take them down like girls do. We overthink. Guys not so much. He probably may not even realize they are there.

    My boyfriend of one year still has pictures of his ex - he says he forgot that he had them, and I believe him. Sometimes, when they're busy creating memories with you, they forget about things from their past :)

    Take it as a compliment if this is the case.
  • OMG - don't trip on it, or you'll be the next ex. IT"S JUST PICTURES. If he's calling her, seeing her - that's another story. And don't ask him to get rid of them. Unlike women who THINK IT TO DEATH - he probably doesn't even know/remember they're there. But if you want him to start looking at them again - then be sure to bring it up. You're not married, engaged - just dating. Perspective. (PS I've been married more than once, and I'm not getting rid of any of my pictures, neither is he.) That was then. You're the now. Wanna keep it that way? Then leave it alone, be happy and enjoy the now.

    A lot of guys don't take many pictures. If they dated for awhile, it might be some of the only recent pictures he has of himself.

    LMAO Don't trip, potato chip... I think this may be my new favorite saying....

    Unless they're x-rated, I wouldn't worry about it.

    i have an ex husband and my current hubby has an ex wife. we still have pictures of them. no feelings of attachment. most of my backpacking trip thru europe included photos of my ex, and i'm not gonna ditch those memories just because we aren't together anymore. sounds mostly like insecurity. if he says he loves you, believe him. if he says he still has feelings for her, believe him and move on to the next one. don't waste your time on someone hung up on their past. but if he says they don't mean a thing, just memories, relax and go with it.
