Things in common

[lovely33]

When you are dating you should always try to do things that you both have in common. Dating shouldn't be 1 sided, like doing all things that she likes or that he likes. Its important to things that both of you like, it keeps it more interesting.
Do you agree?

I couldn't agree more, lovely33! There is nothing that turns me off more than a guy who consistently plans activities that I obviously have no interest in. I'm all for give and take, but he'd better make an effort to spend some time on my hobbies if he expects the same in return.

I absolutely agree. Dating is the time to know each other. So knowing what both of you likes will lead to a better relationship in the future.

I would never date anyone for long if it was always about them! I would not mind if it was sometimes about them and sometimes about me. I also think it's important to have a lot in common in order for the relationship to work.

Ditto! There is nothing worse than going on a date with a guy who is having a great time while you sit around bored to no end. Dates should be fun and sometimes even exciting!

Yes, I think it is important for the other person to be mindful of what you like as well. It is also good if you have shared common interests otherwise when it gets serious what will you have to do together or share?

Mutual interests always makes a date more enjoyable. That's what dating is all about, finding what interests you both share. If there are no mutual interests, why bother moving forward?

I agree, however, it is nice to have enough common interest and separate interest so that you two are still "excited" about each other and keep each other guessing. Also, I think many people have to watch for mistaking multiple common interests for compatibility.
