Yes it's called having a particular physical type of person you like.



I know a guy who lost his first partner to a stroke 20 years ago. He became partner's with one of my friends. The late partner and my friend are dead ringers for each other. This man likes a certain type of guy and my friend tripped the trigger on that part and time took care of the rest.Is there a word for somebody dating another person similar to their ex?
Yes it's called not actually getting over it and accusing your ex of not getting over it.
