Is it unusual for people to date someone who looks like their ex?

Not really. I like a certain type and like my hubs height and looks. So probably would look for that type again.

Yes. The appearance of an ex usually is associated with bad memories. And if you DO decide to break up with your GF you had better burn all of her photos...because if the new GF ever finds out you only find her attractive for her resemblance to the old GF she will be so creeped out she will dump you.

I feel like something like this would make me miss the old ex more because that new someone will never be exactly like your ex. It would make me more sad to be honest.

It just means they are not really over their ex

I find I go for variety.

People usually do this when they are on their last level of confidence. I don't recommend it because this can halt ones spiritual progress and cause setbacks on their lifes path. So new is more. Never be afraid to walk through a new door. 🙂
