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. :/

It's common enough that me and my best friend have been asked: "Are you guys sisters, or are you dating?" Those two questions should not be asked together.

This is extremely common. You inherit a lot from your parents, so why not their tastes? Boys often go for girls who look or act like their mothers as well.
