He may be telling you what he is doing throughout the day or asking you a personal question or two. This is normally a sign that he likes you and he is interested in getting to know you more.

The reason that he says your name constantly might be that he considers you a friend. This would be more likely if he also seems to say his other friend's names a lot and if he seems to show the same body language around them as he does around you.

It could be a sign that he is attracted to you especially if he only does it with you, if he wants to hang out with you and if he shows signs of attraction in person. He might also say it because he is annoyed with you, because he says people's names naturally or to make a conversation more personal.

It means that he is willing to tell you every detail about his past as long as you dont judge him by his past. Hoping you would understand him better, as he is the result of his experiences. He has learnt from his mistakes from past so dont be insecure that he might repeat those again in future.

When you have an ex that keeps texting you despite the fact that he or she broke up with you, it means that they're unsure about whether or not their feelings for you should be ignored, the relationship's potential to make them happy, or whether or not they should think seriously about being in a relationship with you.

If a guy was insecure in his relationship with his ex, she will usually play mind games with him to test whether or not he is now more confident and emotionally strong, or if he is still the same insecure, self-doubting guy that she broke up with. One of the ways she will do that is by ignoring him when he texts her.

However, if you've been dating someone for a few months, and he still hasn't introduced you to any of his friends, that may be a red flag.

A guy who's using you only wants to see you on his terms, when it suits him, so his game will be thrown out by running into you unexpectedly. He'll seem caught off guard, uncomfortable, and not his usual self. If you're exclusive to him, it's a clear sign you're being used.

So basically, talking about your ex can bring up all of your emotional issues and lay out your value system, priceless info before dating. It means he wants to see if he possesses the qualities of someone you're attracted to. He wants to know what the status is and if he has a shot.

One of the biggest indicators of whether or not you're your partner's rebound is the amount of time they spend talking about their ex partner.
