    None of the above.
    Two personalities could be ENTIRELY different, yet they match perfectly.

    My current girlfriend is completely different then me.

    I'm never jealous, she's jealous.
    I'm into metal and rock, she's into pop and Dubstep.
    I think more about others, she thinks more about herself.

    My point is, personalities just unexplainably match.
    And if they don't, they don't.

    Opposites attract, for your information.
    Example:
    If two "listeners" would meet up, the conversation would be awkward and silent.
    If two "talkers" would meet up, the conversation would be full of chaos, and both would feel ignored.
    BUT, if a "talker" and a "listener" would meet up, it would be the best damn conversation ever.

      Agreed, I am a talker and my husband is a listener and we have great conversation. We're very opposite...

      We have simialar interests but we are like night and day and we get along better than anyone I know.

        That's sweet. :)

        I guess I'm kind of lucky because I'm really both a talker and a listener. I love hearing what others have to say and I love talking about stuff that pops in my head or whatever I feel like talking about.

        I truely kind of agree and disagree on this. It just depends on the people I guess, everybody is different.

        What's good about a listener and a listener, I see it as most likely the silence wouldn't be awkward one bit. Plus when they do talk they would for sure listen to each other on what they have to say. Although it might get a little boring unless they really do like the silence most of the time.

        I can see a lot more arguements happening with a talker and a talker, if they don't listen much that is. Now it would be ok if they did listen some because most likely they would have endless converstions.

        But on the topic about two not talking:

        It could be they both are rather shy and kind of fear what the other would think about what they would say. I could hardly ever see two shy people being in a relationship, but it could happen; just not often.

        Me on the other hand I'm more cautious than shy. Most likely it would be because something about that person gives me a bad vibe or they did something that I found rather degrading.

          Yeah, I can be a good listener too, and awkward silence doesn't bother me much, but I can't stand it when people are shy or reserved and I have to pull the conversation out of them. But nonetheless I have been described as very outgoing and many of my friends are shy people that otherwise would not have made friendship with me had I not kept speaking to them.

          I am a military kid, after moving around so much I have learned that you're either invisible, or you'll have friends and people that dislike you too. People are way more self-conscious then they need to be, I wish they'd just tell me that they think they are being awkward or pissing me off so I could tell them that I don't journalize anyone's behavior and chances are I won't remember.

          My husband is the listener type, I know that, but in my experience, if you put forth effort, listeners can become talkers that never stfu. My husbands friends and family describe him as a quiet dude that doesn't talk much. They didn't speak to him enough, because the guy I know never shuts up. It's all about effort.

            Yeah, I know what you mean.

            I had met this guy last year who was extremely shy. I felt kind of awkward around him. I can be impulsive and say crazy things that just come to my mind at times and plus I'm such a klutz. I did so many stupid things around him and he would just look at me and not say anything. I wanted him to at least say one word but nothing. I guess he thought he would hurt me if he said some joke about it.

            I should of said something to him about it but after a couple of months of getting to know him you would think he would of put more effort. I haven't talked to him for over half a year I guess it would be. Who knows... maybe I'll see him again someday.

    there is an "Other" missing.

    In my case? It's none of the above. But with one person i am not on speaking terms with, there's a bit of a history attached.
    The other person is just, simply said, a douchebag. (The kind of person that always expects YOU to have time when they want to do something, but never has time when YOU suggest something)...we just stopped talking(including saying hello when meeting by chance).

    for the record, ya, i've been seeing both of these a lot.

    Maybe they both really like each other and are afraid of saying something that the other will think is silly.

  • A good question, a quick and simple answer is that one or both them have been a little negligent in the old hygiene department.

    Yeh I went there, so what ?

    One being cool is not the issue. One of them thinking they are cooler can be the issue. If you really think someone is so much cooler you must be a preteen since any adult should be mature enough to understand this concept. Being a snob is not "Cool" as you put it. They are fighting or one is annoyed by the other and is avoiding them.
