Compatibility


Question Posted Tuesday August 23 2005, 11:30 pm

16/f. I'm really into a guy at my school, and we're friends and we chat all the time, talk on the phone and online, and whatever. He likes me too, and we've considered dating. The only problem is, he's pretty overweight. Now, I wouldn't care, I don't just look for visual appeal in a person. But I'm really active, I love to play tennis and swim, and I do a lot of biking and jogging. It would be really nice if a guy that I dated would be able to do all of those things with me, and since he's not an active person, I don't know if we'd be able to. We're both really into European history, and we love to read and do those Cryptoquips in the newspaper, and I have a really good time hanging out with him. But are we compatible enough to build a relationship on?

You can try it. Maybe you could be motivation for him to get active. Tell him you would really like to do things together! Just keep in mind that if he is very much out of shape you will have to be patient with him. Let him build up gradually to your level...and it may take a while. Be understanding, and if you really like each other it could work. :)

It sounds like you have a great heart. It sounds like this guy is really lucky to have found you if you don't look really at his outward appearance. I mean, you wouldn't date someone you weren't attracted to, but it sounds like this guy has a winning personality. I think you should go for it if you really like him. I mean, there's always a possibility that it may not last, but life is about risks and requires you to jump. Give him a chance is my advice. Good luck and I hope I helped.

Yes ! Just because you have some differences you can still have a relationship with him! And since you really like him than it 99% it will deffinately work ! Because all that matters is you both like each other and are willing to settle your differences. And even if he doesnt like to run than im sure you can just go with your friend. So try it ! And since you really like this guy it will work ! hope i helped <3

Definitely. If you really like this guy, then you are. maybe you can get him into sports like what you do. If that doesnt work, then stay at what you guys do normally.

Hope i Helped! =P
hope your relationship with him workes out.Good Luck=D

In any relationship, it is important to have separate interests. Use active-time as you-time. You and him can still have a very fulfilling relationship.

I think you should give it a go.

Of course you are. Sometimes opposites match. Think about all the stuff you said that you have in common, such as the history and reading. It's alright to date someone who isnt into all of the same stuff as you. I say you should go for it. And, if you two do become boy friend and girl friend, or just start to date, you can have him play tennis with you. Maybe you can change his mind about activities. Good Luck!

Well, you just mentioned some awesome things that you BOTH like to do. Sounds like you have to decide what's more important to you. A more fit guy or somebody who shares just different interests. If you're not concerned with looks, and you both like each other then it sounds like it could really work out. Just as long as his weight doesn't matter to you. Don't worry about compatibility, just do what u know is right and u can't go wrong. Hope i helped and good luck!!!
