No Sex with the Ex

After exchanging some cheerful banter this morning with my ex-boyfriend, he made a comment that he would definitely let me know if advance when he'd be in town so we could do dinner or something and would not wait until the last minute, as he did last time, so I have to use that lame "I'm watching a movie with the new boyfriend-it's not a good time for you to come by" excuse. Ha ha, isn't that funny? I was offended not at the fact that he said this, but that he mistook the cretin of 3 weeks ago as a "boyfriend." I sent him a choicely worded memo correcting him and please do not use the word "boyfriend" as it is a 4 letter word to me, etc. He responds that he's glad to see he got under my skin, as it's one of his favorite things to do, and titled the email "Seen Her's version of 10-minute speed dating" (I had also informed him I had moved on someone else since that time three weeks ago, so I think that's the joke there). I responded that part of the reason he no longer got to get under my clothes was the fact that he got under my skin so much.

He responded to he could come up here right now and get into those panties if he wanted to. Ew! I have a "no sex with the ex" rule. I would NEVER hook up with someone I had REALLY moved past (a little, are-we-or-aren't-we? hook-up doesn't count). It's too complicated. Too many residual feelings, no matter how much you're "over" them. And if there aren't residual feelings, why sleep with him? I'd rather sleep with anyone OR EVERYONE rather than an Ex. It's just a hard and fast dating rule for me. Like, "don't f$#@ where you live" (meaning, don't date people in close social situations, like work or school) and "Don't go where your friends have been." Don't sleep with an ex!! What do you guys think?

PS I responded: "Wanna bet?"
