My boyfriend is quiet, emo, and really into stuff like anime. I'm more preppy and sporty. I think he's cute and sweet, but we're so different!! I don't know how long we will last. Do opposites really attract?

oh god, I dont believe in that - I mean its a lotta work to make a relationship work that invoices 2 people from diff. worlds... and at the end you dont get to enjoy the things you both like, its always something you like that he doesnt and somethings that he likes that you dont, then you end up going doing the things YOU like and he goes off doing the things that HE likes!

Well, in some cases opposites do attract and then there are instances where they dont. The only way it will last long, if you want it to, is to put more effort into the relationship. What you put into it, is what you get out of it. Make sense? Also, think about how it will effect you in long run if you stay with him?

Opposites can attract . You see two people can have opposite personalities but they still can have a loving relationship. How? They agree on one thing. Loving each other. And also even if the two of you are opposites you compliment each other. Like lets say your bf has a stronger personality and you are the more shy type . Because of his strength , you feel stronger. I mean even if you don't have the same personality your differences compliment each other.

Cute and sweet ... and you're bytching about it????? Come clean, doll ... you're not really that "into" him if you're doubting the viability of the relationship.
I'd say if what you have together is "real", then you will bring out the best in him and vice versa. If he still just wants to hang out with his geek friends and watch anime all the time, then maybe you should go date "Country Club Trevor" or something.

I married one, and wow I was in for a big surprise these guys could turn out to be the devil. As soon as I became pregnant his horns came out, so be careful. Sound's like my 20year old roller coaster ride back and forth hell and back...I was a monster from everything he put me through now I gained back my sanity thanks to knowing I have God in my life, and seek him 24/7. I would not be here today, if it wasn't for trusting in God. I would have been in a nut home. I am not saying this will happen with your partner, we all have two side to us. I am back to normal, and my husband has no control over me anymore. It will last just make sure this is the guy you think will make you happy. I was wrong about my partner, and he changed, now he doesn't know what to do to gain that control over me once again. Good luck and don't let my life story discourage you, just be careful!

I hate to tell you, but for long-term relationship prospects, it won't last. I'll use my own life example. My first love was this Italian-American guy (well, he was from NY, but his parents are both Italian). He was materialistic, educated, only ate Italian food, preppy... I, on the other hand, was going to college (hadn't get graduated), am not at all materialistic, I enjoy regular American food, and I grew up in the midwest and in the south. The only thing we really had going for us was a physical attraction. I was with him for almost a year, but I couldn't see myself with him long-term (marriage ,children). Fast-forward: about 2 years after we broke up, I went here to NY (from OK) for a school-break vacation (graduated in May, but went on vacay in December), had dinner with the ex as FRIENDS (as in, no hanky panky went on. lol), and I looked at him and realized that I had NOTHING in common with the dude. lol Well, after that, I started dating another guy (another New Yorker, but that wasn't planned) and we have a lot in common... down to how goofy we are and how dorky we are. We've been together for about a year (a year around March 15). I think your current bf might be fun to chill with for awhile, but for long-term prospects, do you really see yourself married to him? Then again, just have fun and see where it leads.

Do opposites attract? Sometimes
Will you guys last? Probably not, but then again, I obviously don't know you guys.

Sometimes. Try talking to him. If you open up to him, eventually he will do the same. Adjusting to something different always takes time but you guys can grow to learn from eachother. :)
It sounds really cute!

If you have different interests it is good because you have reason not to spend 24 hrs together. Dont dwell on it.
