Have you ever heard the term “doppelganger?” It means a person or even an apparition that looks just like another person. Well, as you might have guessed, the “doppelbanger” implies the same vibe but with a twist.
Usually, people look for certain traits when it comes to dating others. Some like the bimbo/himbo types, others prefer neatly cut hair and elegant clothes, and then there are furries, but let’s not talk about them. In other words, everyone is looking for something, and that “something” may very well be the alternate version of themselves. Hence you’d be dating yourself, aka your “doppelbanger.” Don’t you just love the English language for how versatile it is?
There was always this notion that people are looking for comfort in a relationship, and usually, that comfort comes in the form of a mother or father or someone you’ve known your whole life — yourself. This is why finding out you have common interests with someone feels so great.
