When you create an online dating profile, you will get many advises from friends and known.
One thing that you will hear for sure is, "find someone who is similar to you." It is a common belief that if both the partners are different, they won’t last long.
However, in actual scenarios, the case is completely opposite. These relations actually, have a lot better chance to last for life.
You may think how’s that possible? Well, here’s the answer.
Challenges Are Good
Similar person means somewhat same thinking and choices, while a different person comes with a lot of learning. Everything between you both is entirely different, and there is a lot of learning. It will be challenging to guess what your partner is thinking and these challenges solidify your relation.
Moreover, listening and adapting to each other’s thinking will create a sense of belongingness and love between you both. It will create friendliness, and everyone knows that the best relations begin with friendship.
Never Gets Old And Boring
You and your partner come from different background, beliefs culture, in short, there is a lot to discuss. Fortunately, this gives you a lot to talk, and long conversations are just the thing you need at the initial stages. Plus, you have a lot of different customs, food, and places to share with each other.
It will develop a new perspective and expand your viewpoint. No wonder, it will make you more confident and accepting, which is helpful in every stage of life. This learning will also teach you to respect each other's thinking which will form a stable base for long term relation.
Stranger Things Happen
Dating a person who is very similar to is like dating a clone of yourself. It may sound convenient as there are no differences but imagine someone who cries every time you complain and shouts every time you are angry. You share your problem, and your partner starts to worry about it rather than help you. Doesn't sound much convenient now, right!
On the other hand, when you are different, you will balance each other. One of you shouts all the times the other one listen and tries to bring the heat down. One of you always worries about the problem, and the other one deals with it with a smile. Now, that's a relationship which will bring happiness to your life.
No Compromising
The most misunderstood fact about dating an opposite personality is that you have to compromise or the relationship ends. The thing is, you both know the actual nature of each other and have accepted the difference. There is nothing to hide, then why would you need to compromise.
Of course, there will be some fights over issues, but that is common for every relation. The plus point you are sorting these differences from the starting of this relationship so there is nothing you cannot sort out. Hence these fights won't have any effect in the long term.
Brings In New Interest And Hobbies
You love games, and so does your partner, great, you can play together, but what's new in that. Now imagine that you love gaming and your partner loves workouts, sooner or later you both have to follow each other. You will learn, and who knows you may discover a part of yourself, you never knew existed.
