dating by TYPE

So everyone has a type, right? Physical stuff aside, we are all of us attracted (generally) to one type of person. Does that mean we are destined to date the same man over and over again? In my experience, yes.

A friend of mine recently started seeing someone she is surprised by, to say the least. He is not her type. At all. She is enamored by him, but totally out of her comfort zone and constantly wishing he were more like what she's used to. Does this make sense? I mean, all people are comfortable with the familiar but obviously there was something wrong with that "type" or he would have worked out the first time.

This is what I'm working on with my therapist. All of my relationships are shockingly similar. Now, if you line these men up, you would not necessarily see the similarities. The looks are different enough, though there are some similarities across the board. The personalities are seemingly different, though not underneath. If you lined the relationships up against each other, you would see NO difference. Same situation, over and over again.

Damn.
