Is it normal to date someone who is almost an exact opposite of you?

We have a good time together , we learn from each other and we do like each other , but we really are so incredibly different it's almost cinematically unreal at times. I could list 50 examples of things that we are just on the exact other side of the spectrum with taste , preference , and opinion. ill spare you the lengthy list though. I mean we have some things in common, like being breathing humans on earth lol . I do think i love her , but sometimes it's difficult.

    It depends what differences you're talking about. Regardless of tastes and preferences - what do you want out of life? What are your goals, what really matters to you? Are you opposites there too? If you want different things from life then your relationship will never work. I think any other differences can work.

    I was interested in a guy once who was the total opposite of me. I kept telling him so, that it won't work out as a serious relationship. Eventually we had a difference of opinion which created a void between us and he realised it too. Never contacted him since.

    Some differences can actually be a good thing. Complete opposites? I’m not thinking that’s going to work out so well. Even if you’re both very flexible, the constant having to compromise might put a strain on things.

    It really does depend... It's absolutely okay to have a crush on someone that is the complete opposite of you. Though, I wouldn't conciter a relationship, if your bond and trust isn't good enough. I'd stay away from dating them because it would probably be a very difficult relationship to maintain... trust me!

    My boyfriend and I are opposites. I'm socially awkward and suck at talking to people. I don't like standing out, I'm unfashionable, and my skinny self can eat enough for seven people. My boyfriend is good at talking to people and can keep a conversation with strangers. He'll go out dressed as video game characters and he likes fashionable clothes a lot, which makes people take a second look at him. He also can't eat as much as I can and he's overweight. We still get along just fine. XD

    I think there is nothing wrong with it. It all depends on how well you guys communicate with each other and know there will always be differences. If you can recognize that, have a healthy debate and agree on things that matter, you should be fine. Life is boring without robust and respectful discussion/debates. The clue to it not working is if you find yourself saying, "there is no way I can ever see commiting myself to someone who..." Enjoy life, embrace the differences, and you will be good.
