I think that my SO and I are a lot more similar than different. The first time I met his mother, she said that Jared and I are more like twins [meaning personality-wise] than him and his actual twin sister. We both are really shy when we first meet people, but he is probably more shy than me now because I have gotten a lot better lately. We both are very introverted and prefer having a small number group of close friends. We both get depressed somewhat easily, and we are both on the same anti-depressant lol! I have a very broad taste in music and like practically every genre, but Jared is very picky about his music and only likes a certain type. Luckily, I happen to like that type, so we have that in common too, although he often picks on me for some of the things that I like. We also like a lot of the same type of TV shows. Oh! And we are also both indecisive! He went into college as undecided, changed to political science, then changed to history, and then finally changed to journalism. I went into college as undecided, changed my major, and then changed it again the next semester. Honestly, I want to change it again, but I am just staying with it because I want to graduate in two more years.
However, I am an extreme planner, and Jared definitely isn't. He also has ADD and gets bored really, really easily, but I can do the same thing for hours without stopping. I am book smart and am very studious, but I have no common sense! Jared never made great grades in school because he never really studied as much as me, but he has the common sense to make up for the lack of mine. That balances us out though because we are both really hard workers when we put our minds to it. I am extremely girly, and Jared is always trying to be masculine :P He is Catholic and I am agnostic, but he is more spiritual than anything--I believe--so that doesn't make much of a difference. I will still go to church with him He is also a lot sillier than me because I am very serious.
Overall, I think one of the most successful aspects of our relationship though is that we both have similar values and goals in life, which I think might be the most important thing of all.
