Can you still have a connection with someone if you....

11 Comments

If you don't share common interests? Would a friendship still work out? Let's say my common interests are animals, music and health. My potential friends interests are body building, music & fashion. We share a few common interests but not lots! People always go on about saying "sorry I don't feel a connection in our personalities ! Well does it really matter at the end of the day? If I'm genuine, caring, funny & honest, isn't that what maters! Stuff the personalities, they're not concrete anyway!?

You must share common interests 1
No, you can still have a connection without lots of common interests 3
You have to have a few similar interests 3
It really depends on the person 7

    I've always considered humans as rather flexible creatures. What's to say that he won't become interested in the things you enjoy, and vice versa?
    If you are looking for an excuse not to be with him, the reasons in your post will do nicely, but as they (whoever the fuck 'they' are) say, love can overcome all obstacles.
    Good luck.

    It's whether you 'click' with each other that matters. And if u don't have lots of common interests - just make sure you listen to your friend when they talk about theirs, and vice versa. By hanging around together and going out with your friend, you'll soon have those common experiences shared to talk about :)

    the person could be totally diff from you but that doesn't mean you guys won't be able to click and have a chat and actually become friends or more if that's what your looking for. you guys just gotta click and fit like a puzzle piece. don't stress about it .

    Friendship and by extention relationships have nothing to do with similar interests.Its a plus but not a neccesity.Aren't there people we work with,share the same hobbies and intetests with but you are not friends with!?

    If someone isn't an animal lover I don't even wanna look at the person or know his or her name. Especially in regards to romantic relationships being a fellow animal lover is a must have and not liking animals is is a deal breaker for me. Even if it's just a friendship there's only so close I can get to a non animal lover before the person annoys me and I'm asking myself, "what's the point of this", or "why am I wasting my time".

          same, my dad isn't a big animal lover and always complains about my birds and that their poo is smelly and that their dirty (even though birds poop can't smell and they bath at least once a week :/)

          he also hates dogs idk why, as a kid he pretended to be allergic to them just so i couldn't get one

            That sounds awful, I'm somewhat allergic, but I take Zyrtec and Flonase, because life is hardly worth living without a cat or a dog!

    It's less about interests and more about outlooks.
