Okay, I am starting to date again and I asked out this guy who is my coplete opposite. H eacts girlie and carries a man purse, while I am not girlie and I carry around my PSP. So we really are opposites, I mean I read and he doesn't, I am short, he is tall, and I am just unsure how to date someone whom you are the opposite of...I want to go out because I think itll work, because I believe that if you date someone who is just like you then it will become predictable. Besides, last time I did that it didn;t turn out too well, and I really like this guy.

Well, having NO common interests is going to tend to be not-so-workable in any relationship. So, if you two earnestly have nothing at all in common, then chances are, this will probably be a dead-end for y'all.
So, maybe you want to sit down and see if you can identify any? Or maybe hold off on dating until you have some more time to get to know each other and see where -- and if -- you have some common ground you can meet at.

So, let's look at it like this. Per where you have common ground: • What things might you two do together you BOTH enjoy doing? What do you think dates and time spent together will look like for the two of you? • How about your communication styles? Do you communicate in ways that work together? • What can/do you spend time talking about?
