I met mine in 1996 at a restaurant in baltimore. I walked in, looked across the room and there I was. I went over and before I could say anything he spit out his food. we looked like exact twins. I took a picture and we ate a meal together laughing about how odd the situation was. strangly, our personalities matched up a lot too. Some how, in all the awe, we didn't exchange numbers. a peice of me wonders if some how he married a woman who looks like my wife. its a very odd experience.

Maybe. I've been told I have a twin. When I was in college I had a guy try to kiss me in a library. He thought I was his girlfriend. Or maybe that was just an excuse! But I had other people around the same time come up to me & swear that I was someone else that they knew.
I noticed while studying art history that people in the paintings from centuries ago looked like people that I knew. It's as though faces & features are repeated throughout history. We're all a little different (even identical twins have subtle differences) but there are similarities. If you think that we are in a sense all related, we are like one big family (all descendants of Adam & Eve? :) then it only makes sense...
I've never run into my so-called twin myself. It would be kind of freaky if I did! I think it would be cool. I've been compared to a number of actresses from Leelee Sobieski to Nicole Kidman but I don't think I look too similar to anyone (not even members of my own family!)

Given the 6 billion people now living on earth, it is not statistically improbable that thee will be other people who look like you, at least superficially. Whether or not you ever come in contact with these people is less likely, but occasionally a confusion of identity of people who look virtuallly the same is reported (sometimes, this happens at various stages of investigation of crimes where people report seeing somebody and it turns out to be somebody like somebody else). But somebody who looks exactly like oneself isn't identical to yourself. Fingerprints are not exactly the same. Biomedical characteristics aren't likely to be exactly the same. And DNA isn't exactly the same. As we learn more about people, and as data banks are developed that include more information on people's underlyiing genetics and biology, confusion of identity is less likely to stand the test of science.

One of the laws of this universe, as I believe, is that no two can be exactly or totally identical... not even two leaves of the same tree. However, look-alike is eminently possible, for considerable similarities and discernible patterns is also a governing rule of this universe.

Glory be and behold, to demand of strength that it should not express itself as strength, that it should not be a desire to overcome, a desire to throw down, a desire to become master, a thirst for enemies and resistances and triumphs, is just as absurd as to demand of weakness that it should express itself as strength. a quantum of force is equivalent to a quantum of drive, will, effect—more, it is nothing other than precisely this very driving, willing, effecting, and only owing to the seduction of language (and of the fundamental errors of reason that petrified in it) which conceives and misconceives all effects as conditioned by something that causes effects, by a "subject," can it appear otherwise. for just as the popular mind separates the lightning from its flash and takes the latter for an action, for the operation of a subject called lightning, so popular morality also separates strength from expressions of strength, as if there were a neutral substratum behind the strong man, which was free to express strength or not to do so. but there is no such substratum; there is no "being" behind doing, effecting, becoming; "the doer" is merely a fiction added to the deed—the deed is everything. while considering that, one repays a teacher badly if one always remains nothing but a pupil. and why do you not want to pluck at my wreath?...you say you believe in zarathustra? but what matters zarathustra? you are my believers—but what matter all believers? you had not yet sought yourselves: and you found me. thus do all believers; therefore all faith amounts to so little. now i bid you lose me and find yourselves; and only when you have all denied me will i return to you... lest ye shall not forget, the kingdom's coming

I have heard it suggested that we each have perhaps 7 "doubles" in the world.
Your question was "looks like me" - so I think the answer is YES.
You undoubtedly know, from a genetics standpoint, you won't find anyone EXACTLY LIKE you!
I've never seen any of mine but someone else told me they had.

Essentially, the answer is yes. Others have mentioned the facts and ideas that I might add, so I will refrain from restating them.
God bless.

According to genetics, there are no two people who are exactly the same.
