So picture this: Xavier, 27, finds out through the grapevine that his ex is dating a guy who’s basically his mini-me — same haircut, tattoos, music taste, even hobbies. And get this—the dude’s someone Xavier’s actually met before. Talk about déjà vu times infinity! Now, with Mercury hanging out in a mischievous dance today, could it be that the cosmos nudges us into these uncanny repeats in love and life? It’s like the universe has a quirky sense of humor, making us pick partners who’re echoes of the past. But Xavier’s not bitter—he gets it. We’re all wired to crave familiarity, whether through the stars or good old evolutionary quirks. So why do we keep chasing versions of our exes, even down to their mirror image? Let’s dive into the wild psychology behind this cosmic dating déjà vu. LEARN MORE

Xavier, 27, found out through mutual friends that his ex-girlfriend was seeing a guy who looked like him. What added insult to injury was that he’d met the guy before. 

“It was a rollercoaster, finding out,” he said. “He looks exactly like me but just shorter ― I’m around 6’1,” Xavier told HuffPost. “He has the same haircut as me at the time, style of tattoos, music interest, hobbies interest, you name it. It sucks because we could’ve been best friends.”

In the end, he said, he can’t hate the new relationship. Everyone has their preferences. 

“It’s just like how frat bros always date the same type of girls over and over,” he said. “I’d also say geography, finances, and status plays a huge role in influencing our decisions on who we date.”  

There’s a reason we date people who look like our exes, according to evolutionary psychology.
