My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a year. We're both in college and had some of the same friends, so we were living on the same floor. It took both of us quite a while to realize that "the like" was reciprocal, and he finally asked me out over spring break, after about two months of slightly awkward conversations and trips to Starbucks.

We're complementary, I'd say. We're similar in a lot of ways--we like similar music, we're completely silly most of the time (keeps things fun), our politics are the same. He's a little more laid back than I am. I don't take crap from people, he's more willing to let things slide. I'm a workaholic, he's not. I'm hoping to go to grad school, he says he's done with school after he graduates. (In fairness, he'll be going into a field where it's easy to be overqualified.) We're both still in college and trying to figure ourselves out, and while we're hoping to stay together after we graduate, one never knows...
