Have you heard that opposites attract. This what I can say about a friend of mine and her boyfriend. They just have opposite likes in almost every little thing. Like my friend likes mellow music while the guy wants more of rock or alternative rock. She likes reading and watching movies for fun while he likes camping and other outdoor activities, so on and so forth. Although they are doing ok right now that they are just starting, I just got to thinking, will this relationship work? Will their differences, as simple things as they are, get in the way of their realtionship?

If they learn to adapt to each other's likes or if they could respect each other's likes and let him/her be, maybe it can.

it depends on the way they deal with differences....if they take it light then they can go on like tht....but if they get irritated coz of these differences...then it cant work...

Sometimes, they do. I'm in a relationship where my boyfriend and I are carbon copy opposites. We're totally alike in some ways that it's sickening, but in other ways, so opposite that we don't have much in common. However, this can make things fun, but at the same time frustrating or upsetting because you won't always like to do the things the other person does.

They have to agree to disagree. I mean, if the can learn to accept and respect each other's likes it can actually work. There would be trying times but if they have the patience for each other, it will pass.

their respect for one another will be tested here...no one can force the other to like his/her likes...they just have to let him/her have what she wants and not be bothered that they don't like the same things...

Well, loving means having to accept each other. If they truly accept each other for who they are, patience should follow. That's the only way the relationship can work out.

If they can tolerate the other's different taste and opinion, the relation can work.

Yep in my case too opposites attract..it's true..sometimes you're so different from the other person, you might even dislike his tastes but the attraction is there and it's eating you that you can't do nothing about it..but you have to accept each one's differences, after all everyone's unique!!
