What to Do When You Have Opposite Tastes?

What to Do When You Have Opposite Tastes?

The Science subject said “Opposite Attracts”. Yep, it’s magnet. In magnet, you can’t connect the both B; it has to be A to B then B to A.  Just like in batteries, we can’t put the same positive end; it is always positive and negative.

How about in Relationship?

I’ve been in the situation that, we had similarities but most of the time we have (my partner) have opposite’s tastes.

Here are some situations that mostly happen:

Saturday Night:

You want to go out and chill in a place where you can rest but he doesn’t want to go out and just want to stay home playing on-line games.

What to do: If you really wanna go out, you have to encourage your partner to your plans and offer him/her that you’ll be the one who will spend your entrance, gasoline (if s/he have a car), the food and drinks. And most of all, invite his/her friends, so that s/he will have an interest to go out. In this situation, since you’re just the one who’d love to go out, you will be the charge in all. It isn’t unfair to your side because in exchange, you’ll have your partner with you.

Different Perception: You have different opinion in a thing or in an issue.

What to do: It depends on what stuff you two having a debate. It could be h/she has a negative opinion and you have positive opinion. You two have different ideas and different ways to think things up. In this situation you have to make the first move to stop the non-sense conversation to prevent the argument between the two of you. If the both of you have a high pride well, expect the worst.

Different Likes: You want to watch scientific-fiction movie then your partner wants the Jet-Li and Jackie Chan movie.

What to do: It is obvious that we can’t dare to watch in the big screen just alone (except for the loners) In this situation, we have to give and take to our partners or the easy way is; base the number of audience in the movie (i.e. there are more people are going to watch the movie of Jackie Chan and Jet-Li than the Sci-Fi) So, you have to base on that. If you have a lot of budget, you can watch sci-fi movie tonight and tomorrow night is the other movie. Or maybe watch free online streaming videos at home that will cost you less and just the food and drinks.

You are an outgoing person and your partner is a Home Buddy

What to do: You two can benefit to each other. If your partner is an outgoing person, you can share your thoughts on what are the things that you could do at home and what its benefits you. On the other hand, if your partner is a home buddy, you have to encourage him what are the good things that h/she can get in the outside world. Explore the places that your partner never been there to. In this way, you can help each other appreciate your each world.

Night Life: Your partner is into gimmicks (disco and drinking) but you are not into that.

What to do: They said “people changed” you met your partner that already loved the night out but you are not a gimmick person and against into night life because of many possible stuff that can happen such as getting drunk, harass, meeting people that has bad intention, accidents happen like gangster attack and etc. you will also think that your partner has an influence friends and she’s a flirt and he has flings.

But it is an opposite explanation side of your partner because for your partner, night life is social life and it is really depend on hoe s/he can handle herself/himself and to whom will deal on. Yeah, it is true that you will meet different types of persons, but it doesn’t mean that you will be friends with them immediately, maybe acquainted but not friend’s motive.

If you really love your partner, you are willing to sacrifice any one of your deed and if you really think that it will change you for good, and then go for it!

In a relationship, there will be no issue regarding about the opposite tastes, as long as you two give and take to each other. This is also the way to experience what out there in his world and what is there in her world. It is like, what will happened if I will try what s/he want or do. In this way you will know each other more and deeply and can understand each other.
