kansasu Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I realize that this girl just doesn't like me. But while explaining exactly why, she said "i'm not interested in relationships that are based on common interests". Again, I know she must not be attracted to me but has anyone ever heard that one before?. Any women on the forum can shed any light on this?. I thought that was one of the main things, to have stuff in common. I tried to talk to her about things that weren't about those but she didn't ever say much to me.
8mia8 Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 She's probably just making excuses. That said, not everyone wants to have common interests. On principles, I'd like to be on the same page but I prefer to have someone who has other interests so that as I pursue mine, they pursue theirs. Things are also much more interesting to me this way as I could learn about something new. 1
Ninjainpajamas Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Common values are pretty significant in a relationship, however common interests is almost irrelevant for me at least. However there are certain usual incompatibilities that I tend to avoid but wouldn't cut someone out just for the technical mismatch if there was emotions and other qualities I valued and liked about the person. So even though I also like women who bring a different dynamic and interest to my life than what I'm into as well, this definitely sounds like an excuse. Someone who was truly interested in you would at least give you a shot. She just doesn't see the romantic potential with you.
