Humm I like having the same hobbies as my significant other as I'm not really a people-person. I'm a homebody, don't like shopping, crowds, well, I don't like a lot of things that involves being around massive crowds of people. I don't like having to deal with people either. I don't know why lol. I'm jut a natural introvert. I love nature and music and I'm so glad I found somebody who loves doing the things I do!
Yeah variety is always good, but I like having variety in the things I'm interested in. I don't really want to have to hear his updates on football matches he's betting on and I bet men wouldn't want to hear about what colour shoes matches which dress if they had a choice.
I guess it's up to what the individual wants in a relationship. I certainly wouldn't want to force myself into liking something I know there's no way in hell I'd be interested in. I'd TRY, but as soon as I get a bad vibe, I'm letting it go, like it or not.
