Different tastes?

I have a question for those of you who have been in a relationship for a few years, not just a few months. Does it work when you and your bf have different tastes in music, food and movies??

Because there is someone I like who has different tastes than mine. If it won't work because of our tastes, I don't want to start something that won't last.

Please help!
 
I don't see why not. What makes 2 people compatible can be a complete mystery in life, and no part of it has to revolve around food, music, or anything in particular. Having a good sense of humour, and appreciating each others' humour, I think is one of the most important things there is.
 
No difference

My guy likes seafood and I don't

I smoke and he doesn't

He sings and I don't

Opposites attract
 
Of course it can. If there's enough of a connection/attraction, it's quite possible. I worried the same thing when I first asked my bf to date me (almost 30 years older than me) but we're working out great. :gogirl:

If you have to ask this question in order to weigh whether or not to invest ime and effort in a relationship; trust me, it isn't going to last anyway.
 
Why not?absolutely it can work.We are completely the opposite.Just like Black & White(By the way i am the evil one) or Good & Evil.We complete each others missing parts.
 
>>>I have a question for those of you who have been in a relationship for a few years, not just a few months. Does it work when you and your bf have different tastes in music, food and movies?

My boyfriend, at one time, saw three movies a week.
I saw roughly one a year.

My boyfriend listens to (primarily) to pop, disco, and showtunes.
I prefer rock.

My boyfriend likes fixing fancy meals and nice restaurants.
I prefer fixing dishes that end in "helper", and drive-thru windows.

We'll have been together ten years in July.

It's all about compromise. :)

I've never been in a relationship that long but, two friends of mine have been together for seven years now and they are extremely different people. She likes music, he doesn't, he's extremely introverted, she's an extrovert, he's a pack rat, she likes a very clean house, etc. Somehow they've made it work but, you'll never know until you try.
 
So let's turn the question around: for those of you who have been together X years, what's held it together? What's made both of you want to keep compromising?
 
Thanks guys... you gave me hope... a lot of it! :D I have to wait and see...

It would be great if you could answer hanshansen's question, although I think I already know the answer: compromise, patience, love, forgiveness, accepting differences, adaptation... just to name a few.

Rareboy... I adore your readiness to help people here on JUB and give advice, but sometimes you can be so negative ;) I'm not in a relationship yet; not even close. It's just that there's this guy I only know through others. I have never actually sat with him, but I can say that we think alike in some sort of way. I know what his tastes in music, movies and food are because of what I hear from those around. I just thought that, since a lot of relationships start with having a common taste in one of these, having a different taste might ruin one. Well, now that I look at it, I guess that what I thought was a bit shallow. I shall hopefully try and see what happens.

Good luck silentalk... Yes, I'm wishing myself luck! ;)

And thanks guys
 
Yes, please answer hanshansen's question. I am very interested in this thread because I had the same doubts. I don't think I can get into a long-lasting relationship with someone who don't share a fair amount of common interests & activities, even if he's very cute and has decent personality. Tastes on food, music and movies probably don't matter that much to me, but for example I like technology and outdoors and I don't think I can be in a relationship with someone not at all interested in those but likes shopping and stuff. There should be something shared before and for which you're willing to compremise, right?
