jimbo Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Strangely enough, a girl contacted me who looks very similar to one of my ex's. A year younger, change the hair to a light brown and curly and a slightly rounder face and its a near match. It feels intriguing and weird at the same time. G-d, hope they're not related... Anyone else have a similar experience? Not the exact features that I mentioned, but similar experience.
VeveCakes Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Yepp, I dated a few guys that looked like one of my ex's. I was attracted to them all very much, but the resemblance was what initially attracted me. Kind of sick actually. lol
polarvoid Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Yes - I was rather young and really messed it up with a girl i really liked, whom I later found out also liked me a lot too. Some time later, I met another girl who looked very like her - turned out to be a very bad idea but I didn't learn. The next one was a big mistake too. Learned then.
betamanlet Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Fortunately I don't date, and not many l ook like her, but I have a problem watching movies with Winona Ryder in them because my ex looks a lot like her.
threebyfate Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 My first love, first husband and now, second husband, all are similar in build and colouring.
Ophelia Rue Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 I started dating my ex-boyfriend because he looked like someone I was in love with for years. When my ex turned into a flaming rabid douche, I picked someone who looked the COMPLETE opposite of him. I guess it might have something to do with it.
Devil Inside Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 The first girl I dated in college looked a lot like my ex/high school sweetheart. I fact the next two girls I dated were swimmers like that same ex.
EricaH329 Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 I don't have any experience with that, but my most current ex is dating someone who looks just like me. I wonder if it goes beyond looks though. As in, if you tend to date people who look like your first love because of the memories attached to that? If that makes any sense?
Pizzaman81 Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Oh yes i am talking to a girl right now that looked like my ex two girls ago. I LIKE VERY MUCH! I am even going to force her to wear the same cloths she used to wear on all of our dates... I kept them..... *eerie music* No just kidding. But i've dated girls that looked like one of my ex before, it was alright, but personality is KEY
Thornton Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 I broke up with my ex, and he's now dating someone who looks a lot like me, same hairstyle and eye colour, same dress sense, etc. I broke up with him, so perhaps he was trying to replace me. One of my exes also looked like an earlier ex; the earlier ex had dumped me and I guess I was trying to replace him. So maybe when people date people who look like their exes, they're attempting to replace their ex? So by that reasoning, dumpees would be more likely to date ex-lookalikes than dumpers... dumpers probably weren't so keen on the ex they dumped, so why would they want someone just like them?
threebyfate Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 I think at least for myself, it goes further back than "fixing" a past relationship. My father, who's always been my Hero, with a capital H, also has a similar build and colouring. My husband, in personality, has similarities to my Dad.
Author jimbo Posted November 17, 2009 Author Posted November 17, 2009 Not sure, but as soon as I saw her online, I was instantly attracted to her. Took less than a day to move from first contact > e-mail > telephone. We're meeting tomorrow for a drink. Should be interesting.
tami-chan Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Oh yes i am talking to a girl right now that looked like my ex two girls ago. I LIKE VERY MUCH! I am even going to force her to wear the same cloths she used to wear on all of our dates... I kept them..... *eerie music* No just kidding. But i've dated girls that looked like one of my ex before, it was alright, but personality is KEY LOL!!!!!! you are a nut, Pizzaman! ________________________________________________________________ My exes don't look alike...but both are on top of their careers. My present BF doesn't look like them, either...but he is also an ace in his field. I guess I like successful guys...! On the flipside, I know for a fact, I do not look like my exes' exes...My current Bf however, hmmmm...I don't know,he dated Asians before...I have to ask him about this.
dreamergrl Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 I have more of an issue with ending up dating guys who share the same first name. Grant it it's not an uncommon name, but my ex from a year ago, the guy I briefly dated here in Denver, a guy I was interested in, and a guy who recently asked me out all share the same name.
justforfun Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Yes!! The guy I am primarily sleeping with now. He looks sooo much like my 'first kiss'. We have been together a few times since but distance was ahuge issue. He'll always be special to me though. I didn't realize until just a while ago. But now I know that's one of the things that attracted me to this new guy. And I love it! Strangely enough, a girl contacted me who looks very similar to one of my ex's. A year younger, change the hair to a light brown and curly and a slightly rounder face and its a near match. It feels intriguing and weird at the same time. G-d, hope they're not related...

sfsassy Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I have more of an issue with ending up dating guys who share the same first name. Grant it it's not an uncommon name, but my ex from a year ago, the guy I briefly dated here in Denver, a guy I was interested in, and a guy who recently asked me out all share the same name. LOL, I have dated four guys and liked two more with the same first name. Granted it is a very common name, but still weird, lol . As it is the guy I'm dating has the same name as part of the screename as my ex, lol
sfsassy Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I think in some ways physically we like who we like. The guy I'm dating looks like an older version of one of my biggest exes. They have a few similar interests too, but are much, much different personality wise. (Thank god.)
Awesome Username Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I have more of an issue with ending up dating guys who share the same first name. Grant it it's not an uncommon name, but my ex from a year ago, the guy I briefly dated here in Denver, a guy I was interested in, and a guy who recently asked me out all share the same name. Wow! That's not a very common name, either! I knew a girl Dijon who met a guy Dijon and they went out! rofl
seraph Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I wouldn't say that they look much alike per se, but I have definitely dated mostly redheads with green eyes for the past few years. It's also kinda strange that my current girlfriend and my most recent ex-girlfriend both share the same name and are the same age (5 years younger than I am), and they are both insatiable nymphomaniacs.
Miss Right Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Nope. Thank goodness...we had an excellent friendship, but I wasn't terribly attracted to him!
freestyle Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 about 10 years ago I dated a guy I'd had a crush on for a long time........ He had a beard, and decided to shave it all off one day. I remember looking at him during a conversation that day, and I realized that he looked so much like my college sweetheart it was uncanny....*shudder* it really, really, bothered me. Once i saw it , it was hard not to see it all the time, and frankly, the ex he resembled was not a person I wanted to be reminded of........(serial cheating, emotionally abusive). Yikes. Another weird coincidence, their birthdays were only one day apart........ I realized it wasn't fair to the new guy, but I think the resemblance did play a role in me ending the relationship, although the were plenty of other sound reasons as well.(I figured out he was looking for a meal ticket) That was a very freaky experience, looking back.
Boundary Problem Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I'm attracted to a certain body type now because of an ex. Hopeless trying to imagine myself with a different type of body. wierd. but true.
