She's an above-average student, his GPA is not even close to her GPA, divided by two. She's an under-promise-over-deliver type of person, he's an over-promise-under-deliver type of person. She's a morning person, he's a night person. She's a planner, he's an impulsive. She's an adrenaline junkie, he's not into that kind of thing. She never misses any class, he barely come to his classes. Did you ever think that it was a cruel joke of nature that we find ourselves attracted to people very much unlike us? I mean, wouldn’t it be an awful lot simpler and a lot less messy if we tended to be drawn to those whose personalities are more like our own rather than those who seem like they are polar opposites of us.
I don't even know why I fall so hard for that person. He annoys me a lot, I want to slap his face so hard. At the same time, I want him to hold my hand and look me in the eye the way Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams do in The Notebook. Crazy, huh? I miss him when he's not around, but get annoyed when he talks to me in person.
When I fall in love, I fell in pattern. I always fell for a person whose personality is not so different from myself. But this time is different. I realized that nobody wants to date themselves, right? I'm looking for a complement, not someone identical. Opposing cultures, tastes and opinions can actually benefit a relationship by introducing each person to a whole new perspective.
But... Why him? Like my brain stopped working properly, then my heart decided to take over my brain's job to find a perfect partner for me. Why? WHY?!
Do opposites really attract?
Love,
Ms. D
