I find that whenever I'm out of a relationship and I'm starting to look again, I look for the same qualities as my ex.
I was dating this cancer guy and he bashed on me for wanting to go to cosmetology school but to my surprise he's with a girl just as into makeup as me.
I feel like it's the same deal.

Do you jump into relationship hunting mode like right away? Btw from what I've learned in life, whatever we scoff or hate or put down ends coming into our lives that much more to the point where we end up accepting it and even at times loving it. So your cancer guy ex better get over the whole makeup hate 98% of women love that joint.

I do go hunting right away but never actually get into a relationship. I always want a relationship but when it presents itself I turn my head :/

I thought interview mode (equivalent to hunting mode) was only a taurus thing. What makes you turn your head you think? That sounds like a gift and curse.

I don't know. I feel super vulnerable having feelings for someone. So it's that or the person doesn't meet the criteria :p

That's a common thing I've been seeing a lot these days. My ex had the case of those and real bad. I do hope you eventually can conquer that.

Inadvertently, so I wouldn't call it "replacing" per se.

I think it's fairly normal. We're all attracted to certain characteristics, so it stands to reason that the people we date have a lot of similar aspects. That's likely why we were attracted to them in the first place.

In my case, although those relationships didn't work out, they were all for different reasons. So far, I haven't felt the need to re-evaluate what the "type" I'm most drawn to is.
