tellyc tells us more.

Hi guys! This is my FML. Basically whenever someone new meets my boyfriend or sees my brother they always comment how much they look alike. Recently every time I see my boyfriend from afar I think he's my brother so it freaks me out just a little bit. Glad to hear it's not really uncommon!

I kind of feel you, OP. My dad and my boyfriend have many, MANY things in common. It makes me wonder if something's wrong with me.

I red this thing that people tend to be drawn towards others who share similar traits with the important people in their lives. For example, a girl might be drawn towards someone who resembles her dad or brother, because that's what's she's comfortable with. So, I guess it's not uncommon. :/

My brother's girlfriend acts a lot like me sometimes and whenever we're all together I make him feel weird about it, but I can see how being on the other end can suck lol sorry OP

It's not that uncommon OP. I often get comments on how much my wife looks like my sister.

It's fine. We all know what you really want in a guy.

Apparently my ex boyfriend and I looked like brother and sister. So much so that a few times we got told we were gross for kissing our siblings in public. Was so weird :(

Nope! Cousin's husband looks so much like her brother that I have walked up to hug him thinking that he was my male cousin only to realize at the last moment that it was cousin's husband who I don't know THAT well. lol

My husband's sister and I are really close, we hang out a couple times a week. Everyone always comments that we look like sisters.

Everyone thought my husband was my brother whole we were dating. It is extremely common.

Honestly, my boyfriend and I get mistaken for siblings sometimes and we don't even remotely look alike.

As long as you don't confuse the two of them in specific situations it should be ok IMHO. x)

I once had a boyfriend and EVERYONE thought we looked so much alike and constantly asked if we were siblings..

My husband and I are the same... People always assume we are siblings.

My boyfriend and I have been told we look like siblings. It hasn't happened recently but servers at restaurants always thought we were related.

...whom looks like your father, probably...how Freudian

I'm in a club at my college. I found one of the guys in the club pretty good looking. I then started noticing that he looks a lot like and acts a lot my brother. That stopped me from finding him attractive because now whenever I see him I think about my brother.

It's better than saying you and your boyfriend look alike. I get that a lot, they often mistake us for brother and sister.
