    Still have pics of mine. Only a few though of a good times...

    You're attractive...

    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.

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

    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??

    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.

    honestly, when I had a facebook I still had a few pictures of me and my ex up. I havent been with him in 3 1/2 years. I just never looked at them so it was the whole "out of sight, out of mind ordeal." I honestly would not even pay attention to them if I were you. Yeah sure once you get serious with this guy I would probably ask questions. But guys do not look into things like women do. Guys usually even forget they put those pictures up.

    There's something to be said for a guy who can stay on friendly terms with his exes. The ones you want to watch out for are the ones who having nothing nice to say about the women in their past.

    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.

    Lol I want to know the story!!!!!!!!!!

    We went on a ski trip this past weekend and rode on a sleeper bus. There was a couple across the aisle snuggled up and playing on a laptop. Well, the guy was, the girl was watching him and cuddling closer. My Aunt was sitting facing them and trying to make conversation asked "What game are you guys playing?" The guy responded "Deleting pictures of her ex boyfriend." We thought that was an interesting way to kill time on a 15hr bus ride. They were a cute couple though.

    I have a question. I don't have a Facebook account. Personally, I don't think I need one.

    So, when people are talking about "exes", do you mean in real life or on the internet? Like, have you actually met each other? Is there an internet acronym that indicates if you haven't yet met in person or if you have met and are dating in real life.

    Humor an old lady and clue me in. :embarassed:

    I pretty much keep all my pictures up as reminders of times in my life. It has nothing to do with still having feelings for ex's but more remembering good times. I do try to remove "intimate" pictures though since I feel they aren't proper.

    Thanks guys for all the responses the only reason i worried was because i had a bunch of people being like "omg he still has pictures of his ex he must still like her!"

    After reading all your responses i think you are all right they're probably just good memories and he probably does not remember they're there
