We're total opposites. Can it ever work?

Question - (4 August 2008) 3 Answers - (Newest, 14 January 2009)
A male Australia age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I'm afraid it's another one of those opposite attraction questions. I don't really drink, smoke, swear, or get wasted too often, in fact, seldom ever; My interests include politics and history (boring I know). Yet I am completely transfixed by a girl who is a complete polar opposite to me; both socially and interest wise; she drinks, she party's heavily and has totally different interests.

Anyhow, it came to my initial (joyous) amazement that I discovered that she fancies me too.

But now I'm worried as I am a complete opposite to her that she will find me "boring"....and as far as I'm aware I don't think she realises how boring I am!

I'm going to ask her out, after all we both fancy each other...but can it really work, can I do anything to make it work, or is it flawed before it's even begun??? Any advice is welcome.

best possable way to find out is to talk and find things that you have in common and if there isnt alot try to work around it if you mean that much to each other im fairly sure it will work

PsyCookie agony auntNobody really knows. It may work, it may not work. But this will mainly depend on both of your levels of maturity and willingness to stay in the relationship.

Like many will tell you, give it a shot and don't worry, but hope for a bright future. Many people have proved to others that their relationship would work when MANY though it wouldn't (many of those are the ones in interracial relationships) so why wouldn't you? The power of love overcomes many obstacles.

Now, there will be many setbacks in your relationship. One thing may be the perseption that you two will have for each other. While she may (or may not) see you boring and dispassionate, you might see her as immature and distrust her fidelity. But like I said, love overcomes many obstacles, so have hope. If you two like each other, probably this traits will never even be noticed.

Good luck and I hope she says yes!

I think that you are right in asking her out. my opinion is that it will work, you just need to work out your diffirences so that you won't be fighting all the time. all relationships have diffirences. if you can come to an agreement then it should work out, if not at least you tryed. post an answer on how it works out.
