We're more alike than opposites. We have just the right amount of opposite in each of us to keep it fun and not a problem.

I'm searching and expansive to the point of being a fool. She's logical and well-adjusted to the point of being a bore.

Or I could say that she calms and settles me, and I broaden and stimulate her, as would she when it's working, and we're not both so certain that we made a terrible mistake.

Despite our age gap, him being 10" taller than me, and us being of two different races, my boyfriend and I are like two peas in a pod. We frequently have the same comments for a situation down to picking the same words. He's pretty cool for a guy!

Is it just me or is anybody else dying to see this guy and talk with him? Now that's somebody I definitely would love to have lunch with!

Well in some ways we are polar opposites and in some ways we are two peas in a pod.

For instance, I am very patient, and my dh is very impatient. I am quiet and a little shy around people and he can talk to anyone at the drop of a hat. He likes home made food and I like junk food. He likes to get up early, I am a night owl. He is anal, I am laxidasical.

The ways we are alike are that we both do not like children much, we do not like people much! LOL, we like our privacy. We are not "consumers" or spenders. We do not communicate with our extended family (just our immediate ones. We both like cats but do not much like dogs. We both think that pets should be an intricate part of the family. We both love living in the country rather than in the city. And the BIGGEST ONE we both do not watch television or go to movies! LOL

We are both very outgoing.
We are both very caring individuals.
We are both on the same political party.
We both love family and kids.

He is more politically conservative and I am more politically liberal~but still on same party.
He is financially a whiz and I continue to spend without any real knowledege of how much money is in the bank! ~I know this is bad but it works for us!!!
He is very calm when he gets upset and I am all over the place!
He drives defensively and I drive aggressively.

So much like the others on here, we are a mix.

All the previous men I have dated I have been complete opposite of them. The current guy- we are two peas in a pod. He's like the guy version of me. Scary!
