When Opposites Attract!

[Muscles4daze]

Hey guys have you ever been in love with a guy who was completely out of your comfort zone? Someone who was totally different from who you are and what you are use to dating. Wether he was of a different race, religion, social status did it work out and do you agree with the statement "Opposites Attract"?

Yeah.
He is/was: Sophisticated, sensitive, campy, but in a sorta of subtle way, I mean he didn't wear make up, but you get to know that he is gay only by talking to him.
Even thoug he doesnt say it, it was _THAT_ obvious.

Not really a techie, hates violent video games and movies, listened to typical gay music, likes gay-flicks, LOVES Paris (I can't stand france).
Seriously disliked my taste of music.

He is a part of the philosophical faculty (Business law), while I am in the technical faculty (Comp sci) part of university.
But he uses a Mac, so I was cool ^_^

Yes, and for a while it was cool.

But, eventually, the two of us didn't mesh at all. So, so long for now.....

I was like nineteen and me and one of my friends were dating (nobody knew but us), he was black and I'm Italian, the relationship lasted for about a year until he went to go study abroad. We got along really well, and it allowed us to learn a lot about each other's culture, our families got along really well (but they thought we just were friends). It's funny because the more comfortable we got with one another we got the heart to ask each other questions about our culture that would come across a little stereotypical. When he left I felt like crap for a while.

Opposite DON'T attract, I don't think. At least, not in that glib sort of way.

My mother is short, city-based, Protestant, Republican, and plans everything down to the last detail.

My father is large, rural, Catholic, Democrat, and takes everything as it comes.

They've been married over forty years. And still love each other a lot. The thing is - they mesh (to use 9oC's term). They click. They may be different but they work together. And when people see them, they're more apt to notice their differences than their similarities, of which there are many.

Eh, mine was "straight".

There's something to be said for animalistic attraction. But it never lasts because reality slips through eventually

You mean the reality that you and that person have nothing in common. If the story between Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson in the Breakfast club were true how long do you think they lasted after they left that detention hall?

Yeah, I did and he was half Italian/German, and 3 years younger than me. Though I've always had an affinity towards Italian guys, didn't believe I would fall for one. I've chalked it up that apparently our cultural difference is what led to our relationships caused us to drift apart...
