Do You Look Like someone else?

All of my life I have been told, "You look just like -" It hasn't happened to me as often lately, perhaps because I have stayed pretty much within a small range of acquaintances, friends and family. Last night my niece told me, "I was in Kroger last night when I saw someone who looked just like you. I kept looking at him, so he of course kept looking back. I was close to him in the checkout line and I kept saying to myself, 'Say something, Uncle Edgar.' But he never did and I finally had to accept that it wasn't you." Another story, going back to 1968: I was in Long Beach, CA, having coffee in a restaurant. The waitress was deep in a story about her break-up, when the fellow she was talking to asked, "What does he (her ex) look like?" She turned to me and said, "Him." Well, that same month I ended up in Manhattan. I met a fellow who put me to work. The first day of our acquaintance, he told me I reminded him a great deal of George Gobel (Is my spelling correct? I'm referring to the late comedian often called Lonesome George). I replied that people always confuse me with others this way. It all depends on the particular subjective fantasy they have going on at the time we meet. He was dubious, as he told me a few days later, until a further incident occurred. We were moving a young woman's belongings from her old apartment to a new one. The first time I spoke to her she said, "You look and talk just like my ex boyfriend." Every time I spoke or did anything she said things like, "Wow. You're freaking me out." This type of thing began when I was in my teens. Now I am 60 you would think it might eventually stop. I would be interested to know how frequently this stuff happens to others.
