Have you ever seen a midget dating a super tall person? I’ll be the first to admit that it looks a little strange, but I am all for the idea of “opposites attracting.” Sometimes, I wonder how well it really works, though.
Every time I start dating a new guy I am faced with this dilemma. Most of the guys I date are wholesome and generally naive, which is the opposite of me. Every time I break up with one of these guys I say: “Next time I am going to date someone I have more in common with.”
The idea of opposites attracting and working out is a romantic notion, and seems like a good idea on paper. If you date someone different, you will constantly be introduced to new ideas and experiences that are outside of your comfort zone. My goal in my love life is to meet a partner who challenges me, but also aligns with my way of life and runs beside me instead of slowing me down. Sometimes I wonder if I would be better off with a guy that I have more in common with.
So what is the right answer? Do opposites really work out, or should you date someone similar to yourself for the long run?
Please tell me, before I waste any more time on Investment Bankers that are too stressed out to maintain a healthy erection.
