hotpotato Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Has this happened to you? Not only has your ex started dating right after or even right before the breakup, but the new person bears an uncanny resemblance to you. I cant be the only one in this boat! Link to post Share on other sites
nomoreshallwepart Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Happened to me not so long ago (see http://www.loveshack.org/forums/breaking-up-reconciliation-coping/breaks-breaking-up/396443-what-new-bf-my-ex-mimicking-me) - when I have shown the picture of my ex gf's old-new bf to my father, he thought that it's my photo... I'd say that you should be happy about the situation - I certainly am. Not only is the imitation the most sincere form of flattery, but it also shows that either your ex is not truly over you or their new SO feels so insecure that he/she has to 'become you' to maintain their relationship status. Move on and when the time comes grab your popcorn and enjoy the trainwreck. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

CorridorE Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Yes! My ex of 3 years broke up with me and started dating a new girl only two weeks later... who looks very similar to me. Everyone thinks so. Even my best friends have said that if they saw him and this girl walking together from across the street or sitting together in a restaurant, they would think we got back together. The only thing is that I have a bit of a slimmer figure than her... Whatever. It really bothered me at first but now I don't think about it so much. Link to post Share on other sites
Author hotpotato Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 My ex was stationed in my state when we met. He went home which is about 1000 miles away, but we continued to date. The whole time it was "Youre amazing" "Ive never had a girl be so nice to me" and the like. He tells me we need to breakup because of his pending deployment. New girl lives in my state, same body type, similar fashion style, could be mistaken for me from a distance. He dropped one ldr to be in another. Cuckoo! This girl is into thug types. Her ex has the look as well as the men on fb she follows. X is a straight laced dork and nowhere near the thug type. I saw her ex asking for another chance. This will be fun! *grabs popcorn* 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting... At least I know a) distance wasnt the issue b) it happens to others. I thought I was alone. I wonder if on some level if they do this out of spite. Link to post Share on other sites

Author hotpotato Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Well I know my ex didn't do it out of spite. I never did a thing except love and support him and he knew it. I feel you. Right before he brokeup with me he was talking about all the good things. At this point im more curious than anything. I still wouldnt be surprised if mine was looking for some kind of reaction. Corridore I must apologize. I think I was dating your boyfriend! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ForeverHopeful1 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I have always dated guys who look alike. I mean, if it's a twin by blood that's wrong on both levels.. if she is just dating some guy with blonde hair, blue eyes and is 6" tall, then this is what she is attracted to. I have always liked men who were 5'9''-6'2", who had brown hair and green eyes. I get what I want when I Want it. Im 5'4", blonde hair, blue eyes, 120lbs and built solid. I have v Small breasts, great abs, great everything. Lol. To some men, their jaws drop. other men find me too skinny and my breasts too small. With the exception the Indian and Chinese guys dated, all but looked similar. He was Filipino and had brown eyes and kept no facial hair. Even the Indian and.Chinese guys had the same features as everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites
