Are you and adventures person who will go out and try and do new things just for the thrill of it? Or do you prefer a life of routine? I think I am some place in the middle. I love to try new things, see new things, experince new things. But there is something to be said for the same ol same ol. I think is the comfort of knowing what to expect compared to not knowing. So are you adventerous, or do you prefer the same ol thang?

Hi sweetie. I love to try out new things. If you never try you will never know. But i can be set in my ways as well. Have to be in the mood for those adventures though. TATA.

I do enjoy trying new things to an extent, but many times for me it is the same old thing. I love going on cruises, but I would like to be able to visit as many places as I can that a cruise ship will go to. I love to experience new restaurants, of course as long as the cuisine is acceptable to my tastes. To me it is a toss up for each individual subject, but I do prefer the same old thing many times over trying new things.

Momma you know that we need both, now don't you? I like to be comfortable but I am most comfortable when I am uncomfortable. I love the tried and true that is earning me well but at the same time I am always looking for the new to add to the tried and true. How else will we ever learn more?

I am quite adventurous and always find new things to experiment with as long as the activity does not hurt me.This is because when you try out new things,you can gain new experiences.

Its like asking which eye u like better and trust me people need both eyes so i would say that sometimes one needs both of them. History can teach us who are we and what we intend to find. Change is the essence of life. Had man not changed he wouldn't be living in such a perfect word right now. But sometimes one has to look back in the past just to find out more about oneself. I would sometimes wish to stay in the same old thing again but when it gets too boring then i would switch myself to something completely new. Cheers!

Same as you or about the same, I love trying out new things for certain things only. Things like food, once I'm introduced to a certain kind of cuisine, be it simple or what, as long as it's nice, I'll stick to it like almost forever. However, when it comes to sports like my favourite, badminton, I'll be more than glad to try something new in it. Some new methods or techniques will appeal to me most and I find most joy in it. Most of the time, I think I'm quite adventurous.

I DO NOT like the same ole thang! Altho, I think that's what's gotten me into alot of situations I needed to avoid. I have had old fogies call me a fool before because of the quick decisions I've made. I think they were jealous because they never had the nerve to do anything, but sit in the same spot doing the same thing their entire lives. I've always believed in taking that step to try something new and to change things for the better. I wouldn't have it any other way!

Hi, Talking about trying new thing, it is depend on what new thing I am going to try out. Of talking about electronic items, of course, I love to try them out. and it is depend on whether I really show an interest on that thing or not. I am not a risk taker person,so If there is a risk on that thing, I prefer not to try it out and stick to my old stuffs.

I'm kinda like you, in the middle but leaning towards trying new things. I am always the first one in line when a new product or book comes out. I think I take from my mother who has a heart condition - she says you have to try everything at least once. It makes for great stories and even an occasional icebreaker. But of course, I have some all-time favorites that I return to over and over again.

I am not an adventurous person and I am not into adventure. But i really like to try new things in some other ways. I think it depends on somebody's personality.I also prefer new things if ever there will be new things that will come my way. I'd gladly appreciate it.

When I face a new thing, I would listen to my heart.If it says "It's dangerous, don't do it",I won't try it at all,no matter how profitable or how much good it is said will bring to me.But if my heart says it's okay, or it maybe fun,I think I will try it.

I always love to try new things, they say curiosity kills a cat, well not for me. Curiosity opens up opportunities for learning and testing..

34momma I sometimes like to experiment but not a lot of the time, Iliked to know especially with cooking food that the recipes are ones I have used often. the holidays for me when I wa still cooking are not the time t o try out a new recipe as you will be pressed time and its much easier to deal with what you know will work and come out looking good and tasting. Happy Thanksgiving.

I would rather try new things because I am an adventurous type of person. Having the same old routine really bores me to no end. I am craving for something new everyday. because that is life is all about trying new things and getting better each and everyday. With old things life is boring. I do appreciate the importance of the old ways and old lifestyle but I can't grow dealing with the same old stuff everyday. I must explore the word and take advantage of what it can able to offer me. New things simply bring me excitement.

I love to try new things, experience many different things and get new challenges. I have moved many times and I have had many different jobs. I think that I am lucky because I have been able to try many different things. I am happy when I get the chance to try new things and see new places, and that is one of reasons why I love travelling. I am always really excited when I am about to explore a new place I also enjoy learning new things or taking classes about topics that I don't know much about. Of course I don't like everything that I try and I am not good at everything, but if I don't try I will never find out if I like it or not...

I love to try new ways of doing things. I'm quiet adventurous. I hate routine jobs it makes me dull and life would really be boring. But there are things that I couldn't let go because of the comforts that it gives me.

I love trying new things for it gives me more knowledge and experience. I always seek for adrenaline rush. Life is too short to always stay in my comfort zone. Nothing beats experience. If I don't like the outcome of something I have tried, then I won't regularly do it. At least I tried and I know the feeling of doing something I have never tried before.
