Sounds Like A Winner
If you take a look back at your dating roster, how many of your exes look alike or share a chunk of their personality traits? An in-depth study revealed it’s not uncommon to choose someone who resembles an ex because it gives hints on navigating potential problems you already faced in your previous relationship.
That doesn’t mean seeking out a clone of your lost lover is a good idea. Although you might be able to transfer some of your problem-solving skills, it can indicate problematic patterns that haven’t been resolved. Plus, it’s kinda rude to actually tell your date you’re only with them because they remind you of an old girlfriend you treated terribly.
