My project is just a fun website and is kind of like DearBlankPleaseBlank, FMYLife, and TextsFromLastNight.
It would be like me creating a website called ScrewMyLife and finding out that FMYLife already exists. The only difference is that FMYLife is wildly popular and all clones automatically fail. My competitor has probably received a couple hundred thousand visits (the content is very viral), but not enough that a well designed website could easily crush it.

Has this ever happend to anyone?
It happens to most people. Very few ideas are unique. In fact most aren't.
I'm also looking to avoid legal problems.
Is your product/service classed as competition or do they provide a product/service that's copyrighted?
