5 Reasons You Should Never Compare New Dates To Your Ex


  • ?

    Aside from the rudeness factor there are plenty of great reasons you should never compare the person you’re dating after a breakup (or hope to be dating for that matter) to your ex. Take them to heart and remember them well as you dive back into the dating game after your breakup.

    Sometimes it’s the differences in the people we meet along the way that make our lives so much richer. If you keep looking for clone replacements you might miss out on some of the amazing things someone completely new and different would introduce you to. There’s no replacement for diversity. It is the spice of life after all. Could it be just the right seasoning for true love to bloom and really take hold?

    Things didn’t work out with your ex. Why on earth would you try to replace your ex with an exact duplicate? This is the one that confuses me most. Obviously there was trouble in Camelot or you would never have broken up in the first place. Seeing as there are a few irreconcilable differences it would make sense to look for someone new and different this time around.

    You might see a few of your own flaws reflected in the comparisons. No one is really all that interested in seeing their flaws spread out before them but the very things you see as potential flaws in your ex and/or the new person you’re considering dating may also be flaws that you have as well. If you’re being truly objective you’ll eventually have to confront your own flaws and stop obsessing over the perceived flaws you see in your current and former love interests.

    Comparisons can be useful in many situations. The problem arises when you put too much stock in the observations. Differences are a good thing when you’re trying to move on from a relationship that didn’t work out for you the first time around.

    It cheapens the entire experience. What happens if you decide the new love interest isn’t enough like your ex to matter? What could you have missed out on by this simple dismissal? It cheapens the entire dating experience. Let yourself date the person you’re interested in and give that person an opportunity to show an interest in you. You may or may not find a soul mate but it won’t be on the basis of something that prejudged you or your date to be someone other than who you are.
