Alright, so as the title says, I [18 M] met a girl from my school [17 F] and we really hit it off. It turns out she used to date an ex buddy of mine who I cut ties with completely because of his absolutely shitty behavior (always bringing other people down, making rude and unnecessary comments to people all around us, including me). 

So, she broke up with him the night before she met me, and seemed a bit upset about it. We talked a bit about him, because he used to be in the same school and his name came up for some reason, and she told me about his ''relationship behavior''. Turns out he treated her 3x times worse than he treated me or anyone who would put up with his crap. 

Fast forward a week or two, and we're seeing each other pretty frequently. She's really hot and kind and I'm starting to fall for her but for some weird reason she keeps finding connections between me and her ex. In one case I said I'm out of money for the day, and she replied with: ''Well you-know-who never had money'' (she doesn't say his name for some reason) and another case where as I'm lighting my cigarette she says ''You-know-who always tried to stop smoking''. She even goes as far as to call me by a name that's a mixture between her ex and mine, which absolutely baffles me. 

And I get that she will compare me to her ex, because their relationship ended recently, but what I don't understand is, why does she keep finding connections between me and him, when she herself has admitted that is actively trying to forget? I really like this girl, but am concerned about taking things further.
