| Doppelgänger Dating | comment |
A character's new Love Interest is eerily similar (in personality, looks, etc.) to an established character—often a best friend of the incompatible sex, or even the character himself. The similarity is sometimes pointed out when someone is listing characteristics of the love interest, and realizes it sounds a lot like a description of someone else they know. If the character is dating an opposite-gender doppelganger of a friend, it's more often Played for Laughs and mild Ho Yay than to suggest any serious sexual tension between the two friends. It might even be a positive omen for the relationship: the character gets along well with their friend, so the romance may be similarly successful. If the doppelganger and the friend are the same gender, though, it's likely to spark jealousy or suggest that it's the friend they're really interested in. A common variant is someone dating their]] own opposite-gender doppelganger, which usually results in the characters becoming repulsed. This trope does not include instances where the doppelganger is actually a clone or alternate universe double, or other situations where it is the same person or an actual duplicate: this is when someone similar comes along by mundane coincidence. See also Identical Stranger, Similar Squad. Not to be confused with Doppelgänger Replacement Love Interest. |

Molly's fiance Tom in Sherlock is introduced wearing the same outfit and sporting the same sharp features as the titular anti-hero. This is Played for Laughs initially but very quickly becomes sour as Sherlock's return appears to cause Molly to become disinterested in Tom. | |

One Day at a Time (2017): Victor's new wife Nicole looks, dresses, and acts almost exactly like his ex-wife Penelope. Amusingly, he's the only one to not notice this. When the two women first meet, they stare in Stunned Silence at each other for a few seconds before both turning to look at Victor... who simply gives them a big, cheesy smile and a thumbs-up, hoping they'll get along. | |

In The Beano one of the Crazy For Daisy strips had Daisy dating a guy who looked almost identical to Ernest apart from different coloured clothing (right down to an extra toe and a mole on his bum). In the end he dumps Daisy for a similarly identical version of her to both Ernest and Daisy's confusion. | |

In Avenue Q, Rod ends up dating a guy named Ricky, who happens to be almost identical to his friend, Nicky. However, in a variation, Rod had already been established as being in love with Ricky, but unable to be with him due to Nicky being straight. Nicky himself sets them up, noting that he knows Rod's type, but it's deliberately left ambiguous whether he knew Rod liked him or whether he just guessed well. | |

In The Big Bang Theory, the guys sign Sheldon up for a dating site as a joke and somehow end up matching him with his female counterpart, Amy. It takes a while for their relationship to turn romantic, and as it's done so, Character Development has diverged them so it's less "Amy is fem!Sheldon" now, but more character changes seem to be bringing Sheldon closer to Amy's new personality. | |

Jo's love interest Cliff Jones is flat-out stated to be pretty much a younger version of the Doctor before he even appears onscreen, at which point the similarities begin slapping the viewer in the face. He and Jo are apparently very happy together, as they are still married as of The Sarah Jane Adventures episode "Death of the Doctor" and have a truly ridiculous number of children and grandchildren together. | |

A platonic example from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War. Kaguya is going on a shopping trip with Kei Shirogane, the younger sister of her crush Miyuki Shirogane. Halfway through the trip she realizes that Kei looks and acts a lot like Miyuki and goes red in the face, equating it to being on a date with Miyuki. Like most things, the Lemony Narrator lampshades it: | |

Seinfeld: In "The Cartoon", George dates a woman who looks a lot like Jerry. When she ends up cutting her hair short (almost identical to Jerry) it weirds George out to the point that he leaves the woman, and decides to take a break from Jerry for a few days. In "The Invitations", Jerry gets engaged to a woman played by Janeane Garofalo, who behaves almost identically to Jerry himself. Jerry comes to hate her, realizing that he "hates himself". Of course, she reaches the exact same conclusion, at the exact same time, leading to the only recorded instance of a genuinely mutual break up (not that anybody ever believes Jerry about that part). |

The Drew Carey Show: at a party, Oswald and Lewis become very attracted to the female counterpart of the other (and vice-versa): Oswald for "Louise" and Lewis for "Olivia". Both sets get creeped out and decide to forget the whole thing once they realize what's going on. In a different episode, Lewis and Oswald meet the adult son of a mutual ex-girlfriend who is unsure which of them is his biological father despite his strong resemblance to Lewis due to his equally Strong Family Resemblance to his (unseen) mother. Drew and Kate (but not Lewis and Oswald) deduce that Lewis and Oswald both dated a female doppelganger of Lewis and are creeped out. |

Similarly, on an episode of Frasier, Daphne goes out with essentially a clone of Niles. Like Rachel, Daphne doesn't notice; unlike Ross, Niles does and is very pissed. A much squickier example occurs in another episode, where it turns out that Frasier is in fact dating a doppelganger for his own (deceased) mother — played by the same actress, no less. Mel, Niles's second wife, was basically Maris, but toned down to the point where an actress could actually play her. |

Friends: "The One With Russ": After breaking up with Ross, Rachel goes out with Russ, who looks, acts, and talks just like Ross. Amazingly, the only other character not to notice the similarity is Ross. In The Stinger of the episode, after Rachel breaks up with Russ, he meets with Ross's ex-girlfriend, Julie and it's Love at First Sight. In one episode, Phoebe and her identical twin Ursula date the same guy, who is very confused. |
