Well, in some things, I'm the realist wheras he's the dreamer and in some things it's the other way around. Like when it comes to our future, he's the relaxed, optimistic one and I'm the one who keeps him on the ground with me being realistic-pessimistic. Ha!

I'm a realist. Never had dreams of romantic love, thought of getting married as being the same as going to college or getting a job (just a process), will always put my goals and realistic, logical ideas first, always, before emotions. Not to say that I'm not imaginative, but I'm definitely not romantic.

Oh, I'm a dreamer, hands down. I think he's more of an "impulsive dreamer," aka, he comes up with these brilliant scenarios all the time (yeah, we're that couple that talks about what we'd do if we win the lottery), but he's much more grounded in realistic experience, whereas I tend to put off things until they're scarily overdue. @_@ I think we bring out both sides of each other more fully, though, if that makes sense--in other words, I rely on him immensely when I need to know something practical, and it encourages me to get more organized, whereas I think he's become much more romantic and creative since we met (he says he's NEVER treated a girl like he treats me ^_^). And I definitely know we dream about our future constantly."I love thee to the depth, and breadth, and height my soul can reach..." ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning

My SO is such a realist *rolls eyes* lol but I love him.
I am definitely the dreamer; I'm very optimistic and I usually think up the best scenarios for situations. Fortunately (or unfortunately for some), that also means I see the best in every situation, and that every decision I have made (whether it was successful or not in accordance to my "plans") has ultimately taken me to the best place I can be now.
My SO is the complete opposite. It's not that he's a pessimist, but he kind of throws himself a pity party when things don't go his way. On top of that, he thinks conflict ruins people and relationships so when we're fighting or when things aren't going wrong, he tends to bring himself down. That totally made him sound like a pessimist, though, haha...but in terms of our relationship and the way he sees things, he's definitely a realist.sigpic
