relationship help: What do I do if my new neighbor reminds me of my ex? - Help.com

What do I do if my new neighbor reminds me of my ex?

My ex and I were going strong for nearly a year until I found out he was cheating on me and soon after dumped me. I was so depressed I tried to commit suicide and ended up in the hospital along with five months of therapy. A year later I’m just starting feel better. However, I have a new neighbor and he seems perfect (except for his smoking habit) he’s the guy u read about in chick book: tall, dark, and handsome, and all these girls would just love to be his girlfriend (I’ve already had 12 [no lie] girls ask me if he’s single or if I’m his girlfrend) thing is that, I noticed that he pays me more attention than to the others. But, the more I talk to him the more I relize just how much alike he is to my ex. So how do I know if he’s going to make or break me? And if dosen’t work out will this put an akward friendship between us?

Tall, dark & handsome = Perfect?
I find that hard to believe. I think you might need to get to know him better before jumping into a relationship. Maybe figure out about his past and such. If he really remind you of your ex you need to figure out if it`s that kind of relationship you want.

Getting involved with a neighbour sounds way too risky. If things go badly, are you going to move away?

You’d probably be best off with someone who is far enough away that you don’t see them if you don’t want to. Dating is always a problem when you see too much of each other at the start anyway.

Just don’t call him the wrong name in the heat of passion…
