I 26F I had a short but tumultuous relationship last year. There was a lot of ups and downs and I’d rather not get into it all but the sex was great and I was really drawn to his energy. It ended pretty bad. and haven’t spoken in over a year. Last week I walk into work and see a really handsome guy. He looks nearly identical to my ex they’re from the same background, dress the same, same accent, same energy.
I made another post about that but let’s just say there was a spark. And I secretly want to have that “one good night” with him because he reminds me so much of my ex. He doesn’t seem like this deep emotional guy who would get offended by me doing that. He seems just like my ex who’s just down for whatever is exciting that day. I’ve been wanting to rekindle things with my ex just for a night to kind of get some closure. Idk. I know it doesn’t make any sense and probably wouldn’t work, but that’s how I’ve been feeling for the past year. But I’ve stayed no contact.
But then his photocopy walks in and nearly chases me down to get my number. In my brain, it sounds like a good idea because at least I won’t be sleeping with my ex, but I’m also semi scared that I might end up in the same exact situation with my heart in my hands. Does anyone have experience with dating your exs clone? Were you able to keep your distance emotionally or did old spirals come back?
