Would you ever date someone who looks exactly like your ex?

Question

Sometimes, we are unconsciously drawn to familiar faces. But what if the resemblance is too close? Does it feel like moving on, or is it just a repeat of the past? Be honest: Would you give them a chance or run the other way?

ohsheeT · Accepted Answer

I mean, to be totally honest. I would want to move on but there is that part of me

That would want to know if the new person Would be a better lover? A more intense lover, I mean, you have to be curious about that at least I am. And even though I would want to run at the same time I would want to experience so the odds are probably. I wouldn't do it , but who knows

That would be too weird. I couldn't do it. Not if they looked exactly the same. That would be impossible. You wouldn't even be seeing the actual person half the time. You're seeing your ex. You're thinking of them as your ex. It's something I'm more averse to the more I think about it. No way. (and I don't hate my ex's. It's just too weird)

Random_g · Accepted Answer

I probably would.. Because as you said, we unconsciously drawn to familiar type...

Plus it's not about moving on because you don't move on somebody with somebody else... You move on alone then start fresh, so I don't think it's a problem

But everyone has his way of moving on so I don't know, for me moving on or forgetting in general is the easiest thing in life

DishLady · Accepted Answer

PROBABLY not. But I'd have to assess the situation if it ever came up.

HawkPerception · Answer

Nope. All of my exes look completely different and I wouldn't want to have it any other way. Dating a girl and remembering my past ex through her would suck.

AviatorTom · Answer

That's never happened to me, but if it did, and the "clone" has a good personality, I find her attractive, and we get along, sure, I would date her.

EzraIsShy76028 · Answer

Errr... I think the psychological block would be too much for me, lol.

But hey, at least it's not as bad as someone who looks exactly like my mom! That'd be like hell to the fuck no!

Would prefer someone who looks like my ex than like my mom between two shitty options, lol.

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

Awkward . Hmmm I don't seem drawn to familiar faces, looking at the ten faces I have seen at close range. I don't see similarities, more like real differences. I could have stumbled upon coincidences though, since I developed feelings for faceless (yet) personalities before. How would this coincidence affect me, I don't know and I don't want to know lol

An ex I dated for a few years married someone with my first name. Then their first child had that name. And he grew up to play the sport that I played. My friends said it was weird and creepy but I didn’t think too much about it… until they said it. But whatever, on with life.

RingOfFire · Answer

I guess this is a hypothetical because in reality I think it's an impossible scenario.

But if I did meet someone who looked exactly like my ex, I don't think I would want to date them. The memory would be too haunting.

SotiCoto · Answer

I have a type.
My type is all the best features of all my exes.
Every time I had a relationship with someone, I got very familiar with them and subconsciously made positive associations with their most striking features.

JordansGate · Answer

Isn't that what a  type  is? I probably would just wanna move on and not be reminded of them so feel less likely attracted

HarveyLaw · Answer

I would have no problem about it. Unless she was her twin or sibling.

PrettyBarbieDoll · Answer

Hell No! I'd rather die. Seeing him everyday in someone else? Never!

Nikki1989 · Answer

I would if that was even somewhat likely, which I doubt very much.

WhitneySnow · Answer

Probably not, unless I really liked them despite the resemblance

exitseven · Answer

It depends on what the previous relationship was like

blackeagle007 · Answer

Tough question. I would never want to go back to any of of my ex’s. But always keeping an open mind. Can’t give a straight answer on this

Anonymous · Answer

It's bit uncomfortable for me because I remember what he did. So it's better to find a totally different looks

Likes2drive · Answer

I never did but I could see it happening if you have a certain preference

SuperZonicGUY1992 · Answer

Maybe , But one thing I know for sure I would never date a Karen!

standardguy · Answer

Well depends if my friends would mob me because of the similarities. But I had no problem.
