Does that seem really weird to you? I'm wondering if he cares so much for me simply because I remind him of her. I know some people have a "type" that they're attracted to, but not to this extent!We've been together for nearly a year and he was with her about 2.5 years ago. We're getting pretty serious, moving in together soon, and he's the only guy I've ever been able to picture myself growing old with. He told me a while ago that he'd been in love only once before and it was with this girl in the photo who looks so much like me (only he neglected to mention that). But she was married and it got messy and he never saw her again. Do you think I should be worried that we look the same? Do I talk to him about it or try and forget it?

If you ask him he mighr tell you what you want to know.

 It could just be that he's physically attracted to the same things in you that he was in her, rather than trying to replace her. I dated two girls who looked very much alike because that just happens to be my type, not because I still carried a torch for the first girl. And believe me, looks aside, they were nothing alike.
It's interesting, certainly, but I doubt he is just dating you for the resemblance.
