AIO? Second guessing pursuing a love interest because they look identical to an ex.
Woman at the gym whom Iβm friendly with. Sheβs brilliant, kind, etc etc etc. the flirting is pretty two-way. But she just reminds me of a former love.
Iβm so self conscious about it and if we start dating I know all of my friends and family will notice.
Get out of my head and ask her out, or move on and keep searching?
Reddit consensus: OVERREACTING (YOR) (100% confidence)
Top comment: βOh shit. You have a type. Make your move, dude.
I think YOR, but I donβt even know what your reaction is that Iβm judging.β
Notable comment: βVery gentle YOR. You just have a type is all, nothing wrong with that. As long as you're not constantly comparing her to your ex and understand that just because they have similar physical features they are very much not the same person, you will be fineβ
Do you agree with Redditβs consensus?
Yes
No
I don't know
