LivingWaterPlease Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Well, I must be the anti typical LSer because, OP, that statement wouldn't have phased me at all. I would probably have wanted to see a photo of your ex and evaluated whether or not your assessment was valid. If it was I would have agreed, if not I would have told you that you most certainly should have your eyes examined and chuckled, making a joke out of it. It seems to me some people get bothered by the silliest things and, no, it wouldn't make me think you had a thing for your ex.

Otherwise he'd be back *refuting* my, and others, assertions that he's still gotta thing for her. He knows he does. Edited January 23, 2016 by katiegrl

Popsicle Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I'm talking to this girl. We're having a nice convo on Facebook & I told her she looks like my ex. She replied "lol, super awkward, who's your ex? (& a bunch of other questions.)" I sent her the link & then she stopped responding. Did I mess up?! Would any of you women take offense to that? It took a couple of days for her to respond to my first msg, am I just tripping? Yes. Never talk about other women (in any capacity) to a woman you're interested in. This is a common mistake men make. 1
acrosstheuniverse Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Maaaaaaajor mistake. It would be an instant turn-off if a guy I was talking to compared me to another woman, it's a lose-lose situation, you can't salvage this. She might cool off and come back to you if she's really impressed by you so far, but you can't force it so if I were you I'd just back off now and learn the lesson for next time.
Haydn Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Not a very good idea.... Mind you one ex of mine was a bit like my dear old Mum. (In her capacity for imbibing huge amounts of alcohol) But i never told her this as we were usually both too drunk to speak. 2
TheArtist Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I think the only way of getting out of this now is through a little damage control. You need to distract her from what you said by reversing your car over her family pet/loved one. 4
Toodaloo Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Chalk it up to experience, and remember that people like to be acknowledged as a unique individual, rather than as a doppelgänger of someone from your past. that you broke up with and also this now screams "I am looking for a replacement of my ex because I am not over her" rather than "hey you are a cool kind of person"! We really do need a face palm smiley.
Author Black Cement Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 It's all good! She messaged me this morning, I changed the subject and the convo went on. I did tell her she was beautiful though.. 1
mortensorchid Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I'm sorry but that was a mistake on your part to do that. It is a fact, however, that people have a certain "type". Often times you will see that a person's second wife/husband looks very much like the first, or you will see a similar "look" about all the person's past gfs/bfs. We tend to go for the same physical type very much, and should the person in question ever meet their SO's former spouse/SO, they may notice this as well. But you should not have said that about this woman you are trying to woo. She may be creeped out about it.
thejabberwocky Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 You absolutely messed up. It sounds like you're still hung up on your ex. You talked about her AND sent her pics? That would creep me out for sure. No one wants to get involved with that kind of baggage.
