Is it normal to be with someone opposite of me and i like it but they don't?

They say opposites attract and it's true for me I guess but I dont know if its true for my bf. Some of the things I like my bf isn't really a fan of such as I like sports and he doesn't (which is weird cause its usually the guy) or working out and my bf is like whatever about it. I don't mind at all though. It doesn't bother me that we dont have those things in common even if I run into guys who I do have those things in common with. I have a few guy friends and we can talk about sports all day or what did we do at the gym and so on. Way more than I could ever talk to my bf about. Those guys don't even attract me even if we have those things in common, you would think so and you would think we're a better match but that's so inaccurate. When it comes to my bf, though I have no idea how he feels. Based on my observations, it seems like he would prefer someone who likes the same things he does. I don't dislike them but I have an open mind and always ask him about it so I'm willing to learn about it. Isn't that enough? Again, not sure if he does notice and likes that Im willing to learn about it. Yeah I should ask but right now we're on a break so I don't know how or when to ask him about this. I've been thinking about all the possible things he doesn't like of me which he says its not a lot, were on a break because of outside factors. And now that I've been thinking about this, I wanna ask him and if he says he does prefer someone with more similar interests as opposed to opposites attract, like me, then we can try to work something out or realize it's not gonna work out.
