In Common .. Mar 21, 2006
Is it important for two people in love to have things in common? And if they have nothing in common then their relationship won't work out?

Is it true that opposites attract??

let me share with you what i have observed and infered on the above issue,

for a relationship to work out, following would be beneficial..

likings and hobbies ---- better to be common

priorities in life, ambition ----- better to be different

values and principles -------- better to be same

Basic nature or the persons, like,

mild and submissive vrs. aggresive and dominating
silent types vrs. talkative
energetic vrs. take it easy type
introvert vrs. extrovert
and warm & affectionate vrs. cold hearted

get along well with each other.

this is all about for a good relationship...

but for love to grow its probably more than that... something which we cant generalise....its something like a jigsaw puzzle...it either happens if it has to happen or not at all... its chemistry in the true sense..

Things in common Mar 21, 2006
Although it would seem natural that two people who get along together have to have things in common (its probably what brought them together in the first place) there could also be the argument that each individual should follow their own path to reach the things that interest them.

If you both did the same things together all the time, then there would be very little that was new and different to talk about to keep the interest in the other person fresh.

Familiarity can breed contempt?

You can always start to do things together so that you have common activities.

Personally I like to have His, Mine and Ours.

I agree...

I like my partner to be different to me...i know myself enough and get bored of my own company...someone different is intriguing and exciting for me...

Stuff in common is good, but opposite personality traits aswell is even better...

Having said that, ive been unlucky in love thus far :( so what do i know?!!

My day will come.......

In my humble opinion the definition of "in common" is to wide and far ranging.

I personally dont believe you have to have anything in common to be in love with someone, excluding the obvious like physical attraction etc.

well this is common sense that whom you are gonna love, is this thinkable point, i think no body think that he/she will be in love with this/that because this just happens and i do agree too at the other hand that like and dislike does matter a lot.

both might be with same taste and understanding person if can't then tough to be live happily.

Good Luck!!!
to all Loely people in LOVE!!!

True feelings are always unconditional & don`t count similarities or opposites. As long as you are mutual in feelings, understanding each other & appreciate another person to be oneself & free in choice, it doesn`t matter how many things in common you have.
