I was really picky when i first met my boyfriend. He didn't match up to the criteria/expectations i had of a man i would be interested in. But he kept trying, and impressed me in ways i didnt even think were possible. One reason why i didnt want to continue seeing him/go on a date with him, was because we were two completely different people, with different interests, different cultural backgrounds...the only thing we had in common was our love for CSI.but ive found that he has taught me so much, and opened up parts of me i never knew existed. I think its great to have someone in your life that is relatable, but who can also show you things you never knew or never would have encountered. If you are too simular, the relationship can get boring sometimes, and you never want to know your partner too well either.
