Do you believe that opposites do attract. If so please tell me why you believe it and how long do these relationships really last? If not tell me why you feel this way. I will give my philosophy about it later :)

Yes and no. I really want to be around someone who is a lot like myself. The main difference that I would want is for someone that I am with to be really outgoing, because I am really shy, and I need that to balance me out and for him to help me get into social situations where I might feel awkward without someone bold helping me along. In all other matters, I am really attracted to others who are as much like me in some ways as possible ^_^

I feel opposites do attract and can make Great relationships and a marriage if you can come to an agreement about things that will attract to your marriage. You do not have to like the same things always to be compatible. It just comes down to in agreement of what is best for you. As long as you can work things out in agreement, and such everything should be fine. Especially if you are in a Church and Prayful about things you can get a long well.

Thanks and in my experience it is hard sometimes to compromise on things you like so you tend to 'do your own thing'.

I do think opposites attract, I believe they will have a longer relationship. Me and my wife are good examples, we are like dark and day. But what drives us is our differences, dont know how to really explain it, just both of us have such different opionions and likes that it keeps our relationship from getting boring.

That is interesting. Sounds a bit like my husband and myself. We are like night and day. Sometimes it isn't good because we don't like the same thing. We are just growing to not only accept eachother's interests but learning to like them ourselves. Good response!!

I think you need enough diffrent to keep an inderest, but I think you need to ahve things in common that you enjoy or what else holds you together. So I would say its a combination of the 2.

I totally agree with that. You don't want someone totally opposite because there has to be common interest. Yet if they are too much alike, they would bore one another! Great response :)
