I'm very much a creative type indivdiual and I seem to be drawn to the same type of guys... law school types, creative/literary types... And I really haven't had much luck with them. We're tortured souls. :-) Actually, haven't had many boyfriends. Lately I've been hanging out with lots of different guys. Had a date last Friday, this guy and I have similar personalities, but totally opposite hobbies. He's a farmboy, gearhead, etc... that's cool... very much not me. Though, it could be handy to eventually have a handy person around.

Last boyfriend was athletic, he started running when he broke up with his nasty ex. He's into movies, music, books. I was too, but I felt bad when I couldn't keep up with his literary references, though I could match him on other stuff. We broke up, he ended it. I'm a competitive individual. I bought my bike when we broke up. He trained for a marathon this year, wants to do triathalons next year. I had hoped we'd get back together, thinking it'd be fun to do rides together. But we're both competitive and I would've become a bit dissapointed when he peaked his learning curve and became faster than me. But, I know I'd be able to hang with him for awhile. Anyway, it's kinda of a moot point.

This new guy is completely not who I'd expect myself to be with... but his personality is on course. And we're both really curious individuals, so I may be able to get him to bike a little bit... if things work out. If things progress, our lifestyle goals could be the rocky point. That doesn't matter right now, it's just about getting to know someone new.

But, I can relate to trying to find someone to at least sorta share a mutual hobby with.
