- The issue isn't whether or not you have things in common. The place
- it makes a difference is: How do you and your SO react to things which
- are new and different? If the response is, "learning/trying new things
- is fun, and I am always up for finding new interests to add to my life,"
- then the fact that you don't *currently* have much overlapping interests
- won't be a long-term problem -- it will fix itself as you and your SO
- interact and get involved in each other's lives.
- On the other hand, if you and your SO really aren't interested in
- learning new interests and are mostly just interested in keeping
- your spheres separate, then you are likely going to drift farther
- and farther apart, especially as you find it harder and harder
- to share the 20 or so hours a day you aren't screwing.
-
- Just a set of observations.
