I become physically attracted to someone before getting to know them, so I tend to not know people I like very well. Is it important to have similar interests? I love poetry, but most guys I know, and many that I've liked, have never read a book in their life.

Similar interests in a relationship really does boost and help maintain your relationship with your partner. If you enjoy poetry and he doesn't.. then it is kind of hard to talk about the things you enjoy and vice versa. I'm sure there is more to you than just poetry.. so, don't worry. If he isn't willing to listen to what you have to say about poetry, then he isn't worth being with you at all.
Find someone who truly cares about you and will even enjoy poetry even though he doesn't =).

Similar interests are certianly important. But having different interests can be a great experience as well. You both don't need to do every together or agree on the same things in the same way. The key is can you respect your differences? My partner and I are polar opposites, yet we get along like we are completely sincosimatic. Why because we respect each others individuality.
The most important thing for anyone to do in any relationship is to ask themsleves as to whether or not they love someone enough to live with the differences.

I think that similar interests are ok- but I like the idea of having opposite interests, because then you have time for yourself- are interesting to the other person, and sometimes you should both want to partake in each others interests when offered/asked, that way you still do things together, but have time apart as well. Why would you want to have all the same interests? While that may work for some- not so much for others- so you have to find the right thing for you. :)

Yea, I and my guy are actually differrent. Like u said, I luv to read books, and he never read a book in his life. He's interest in sports, but I'm only fond of muzik.
At first, it doesnt make sense anymore. Cuz I think difference would make each of us more interesting. We dunno wat the other thinks bout. Yea, but now, when I'm bout to say goodbye to him (wit many reasons), difference interests make us talk less.
I dun mean u have to find someone wit totally-similar hobbies. Cuz if u wanna talk bout interests, a friend can do it better than ur boyfriend. But if that guy doesnt have ANY interests similar, and u dun REALLY love him, just forget him!
Yea, but everything has da exception. Life is so strange!! If u still wanna be someone to him, why dont u try to know bout his interests??? Maybe u'll love wat he loves. And so does he!

Well there are guys who will only want you because they think that you are incredibly hott. or they juw want sum . but honestly i dont think that interests are all that imprortant. dont get me wrong because they do play there role in a relationship but a guy well a good guy might grow to like your interests and which is a plus for you or they will just not like you for only the interests part of your personality. they might go for humor in you. so answer:there not all that important :]]

It is important to have things in common...but not everything...
It's also important to be an independent person...know yourself and what you like...
