compromising


Question Posted Monday January 5 2009, 1:56 pm

My boyfriend & I have been dating for almost 6 months now. We are 2 very different people and i think thats what attracted us to each other. But it is also causing problems. He likes to be outside working on his truck or motorcycle & im just not into that stuff. I recently told him that i felt like we needed to spend more time with each other & he agreed. But how can I show him that i do care about him & what he likes to do?

To make a relationship work you have to compermise. When he is out working on his Truck/Motorcycle go out there and join him, you might not be into that type of thing but asking him if he needs help does go a long way. Being out there with him even if you are just watching him will mean alot too him, even though he might not show/tell you it will. Also when he is doing his thing, you go do yours, time apart from each other is a good thing, but too much time apart will cause more promblems. You two need to set aside some days where it is just you too doing stuff together.
Good Luck!

There has to be more that your boyfriend is into then just working on his truck and motorcycle.
Oppisits attract, you two finding each other and being so different is quite beautiful. It's better that way, because then you can experience other stuff. Why can't you go out and learn a little about what he does, and find out why he enjoys it so much? Then perhaps he can join you in something you like to do.
Don't make things so complicated, just take every moment by stride....

:D Enjoy everyday you spend with your loved ones!

If you really want to compromise, you should leave him to work on the truck or motorcycle unless that is all he does. If he is sitting right in his own driveway you should consider yourself lucky.
Maybe the problem is that you are two really different people, and you might be questioning the relationship because you are missing something.
